    Oct. 31 Cruise

    Our 3 night cruise sails on Fri., Oct. 31. When is the Halloween event we've been seeing advertised? I just retired and taking grandsons (ages 10 & 13) on this trip is high on my bucket list. There's so much to squeeze into such a short time. I've packed & repacked a dozen times. So excited...

    Magical Express When Booking Room with Skymiles

    Thanks for the info! When I booked the room with Delta SkyMiles, my confirmation indicated that the "hotel" might not get our names until 24 hours prior to our stay (which is 2 months away). I'll wait a few days and will call about the DME to see if I can make arrangements. This was a great...

    Magical Express When Booking Room with Skymiles

    Want to stay at GF the night before Oct. 31 Disney Cruise. Can we use DME to get to GF from MCO if we book the room using Delta SkyMiles? I can book the room at SkyMiles Marketplace, but don't want to do it unless we can get DME. Thanks.

    First-time holiday season visitor offers mixed critique

    On Dec. 3 we returned home from our first trip at this time of year. It was the first trip to WDW for our youngest grandchildren. We had a great time, wonderful weather, and short lines (except the day the parade was being taped)--all were great for the kids' first trip, but it felt strange...

    What To Unpack???

    I'm posting this on Sunday night--we leave for the Poly on Tuesday morning, and I'm starting to panic about what kind of clothes to take. We've never been to WDW this time of year, so I don't know how to pack. Last week seemed to be chilly in FL, so I added warm clothes--a pair of warm up pants...

    What is your all time favorite Walt Disney World attraction?

    My favorite thing is the Spectromagic Parade--I hope it qualifies as an attraction. To me, it's feels magical to be standing on Main Street watching the parade and listening to the music. I love it!! Oh, how I'd love to be a firefly in the parade! Before Spectromagic I loved the electric light...

    Southwest boarding passes

    We'll be at the Poly next week, and we won't have a computer with us. Is there some place in the hotel that we can have access to a computer and printer so we can print our SW boarding passes before we get to the airport? Thanks!

    Did Captain Cook's Reopen?

    Thanks so much for the info!! I can't wait. We always enjoy Capt. Cook's. We're taking our youngest grandchildren next week (ages 2 & 5)--it will be their first time at Disney. They want to see Peter Pan, and we've told them they'll eat at Capt. Cook's quite a few times. Happy Thanksgiving to...

    Did Captain Cook's Reopen?

    This might have been answered, but I can't seem to find it. Did Captain Cook's reopen this week after undergoing its renovation? We're arriving next Tuesday (Nov. 28, 2006). I called the Poly, but couldn't get an answer. Thanks!!

    Stay at Universal Resort after Disney Cruise?'s

    We stayed at the RPR after our 4 night Wonder cruise in July 2004. We had stayed at the Poly before the cruise. We enjoyed everything about the entire trip. My DH & I were with our adult DS & 13 year old DGS. We had a great time and loved using our room keys to bypass long summer lines. My DH...

    It's Here! It's Here! The Magic is Back!!!

    My husband saw it on his way to work too--the sight always excites us. We don't have a cruise booked right now, so we'll have to enjoy her while she's here. We'll have to remember our good times and hope we can start making plans for our next cruise soon.

    What's the best room you ever had on the Wonder??

    Last July we were in 7568 (Cat 5 - w/veranda) and our adult son and grandson were in a cat 11 across the hall from us. We loved the location--everything was perfect! We were on vacation and on the Wonder, so what more could we ever ask (other than to be in the Disney suite)?

    Shipboard Credits as Xmas gifts??

    We've given and received onboard credits, but not as a Christmas or birthday gift. We called and gave sail date, room number, name, etc., and charged the credits to a credit card. Recipients of the gift "find" a printed note in their room when they board the ship (it will be with dinner...

    Disney Cruise - all guests get online survey?

    We sailed on the Wonder in July 2004--our first cruise. I filled out the onboard survey and included quite a few positive comments on it. We didn't rebook while onboard. Maybe it really is a random survey!

    Ever Forgot To Pack Something & Couldn't Replace On Board?

    I forgot what a klutz I am, so I didn't take stain stick. While eating Mickey chocolate covered ice cream in the Magic Kingdom before our cruise, I dribbled chocolate down the front of one of the tops I had planned to wear on the cruise. Couldn't find stain stick at the Poly. I even tried using...

    How early will they bring coffee to room?

    Last summer we put the "breakfast" request form on our door each night. The earliest option for the door request form was 6:30 a.m., but I'm sure you can call and request coffee whenever you want it. I need coffee the minute I wake up, so 6:30 was great for me. Our order was delivered at...

    Room Service

    Our favorite room service was having coffee, fresh fruit and other breakfast goodies delivered very early in the morning. We had our coffee and nibbled while we got dressed each morning. We then went to the buffet breakfast. We followed a tip that I found on these boards: We took a bunch...

    cd sent with cc member cards ??

    We cruised for the first time in July, and we got our CC club cards and the CD a month or so ago. We didn't have any problems with the CD. I installed the screen saver, and now I get to see the pics every time my screen saver kicks in. We love hearing the horn!

    Should we upgrade from POFQ to Poly to be on the monorail?

    Staying at a monorail hotel can't be beat. It saves so much time, ect. Years ago when our children were young and we had a travel trailer, and we stayed in Ft. Wilderness and loved it. We've also stayed at moderate resorts. and we loved them too. After we stayed at the Poly, we were hooked...
