    Best Thing To Happen to you on a Disney Cruise

    We picked up our daughter from a kid's club activity (she was probably 7 or 8) and she was not happy to be leaving - but we had a family activity planned and as we walked down the hall by the movie theater - Cinderella was coming towards us [to go to the kids activity in the theater for which my...

    Chef's Table at Remy

    On our cruise, the private dining room (which I take to be the chef's table) in Remy's [which all can see - it is just separated from the rest of the room by glass panels] had a party of 4 - and none of them met the dress code either. So I suspect that was a lat minute booking to fill the...

    10 year olds and the Edge

    I wasn't impressed with the first day in the Edge (on our 4 day Dream cruise in March) as it seemed to be all video games and the like....but by that evening there were activities scheduled - and the rest of the cruise there were planned activities all day and night (as well as the oportunity to...

    Is Remy THAT much better than Palo?

    I had some dishes in Remy that I will remember for a very long time - the smoked bison immediately comes to mind...the presentation is top notch (think, Iron Chef America or Top Chef). We did the wine supplement as well...and again some spectacular wines I will remember (and wish I could afford...

    Enough about Pool Loungers, Tell me about the Towels!!

    And whether it is a Disney towel or a brigh beach towel from home - using that sort of distinctive towel is a good way to "mark" your lounger so the others in your group can find home base as it were - not that we use it to "hog" a lounger if we are not using it for an extended period of time -...

    Southwest & 1st Cruise

    and it seems now on Southwest - with the ability to purchase the early bird check-in that if you checkin at 24 horus - you'll going to get a B anyway (and I agree - no seat saving for those with C).

    Character encounters on cruise

    For the Princess autograph/greeting session (or any planned character meet) - I would go and get in line abobut 15-20 minutes before it was to start - so I wasn't first in line - but close - then my wife would bring the DD down at the appointed time so there wasn't a lot of waiting in line for...

    Did Your Tween Like Edge?

    I wasn't impressed on the first day - as there weren't any planned activities - but then learned that the kids in the Edge got to plan and pick activities themsevles. Our duaghter (age 11) loved it - she did the scavenger hunts - and would call me on the Wave phone for assistance! She made...

    THIS is why no water or alcohol should be packed in luggage

    I guess we are just lucky - but we've packed wine in our luggage for years - first wrap it in a t-shirt I don't care could be ruined, then some bubble wrap then inside a 2 galloon zip loc bag - usualyl two bottles per 2 gallon zip-loc. then put in a couple of layers of clothes in the suitcase...

    We arrived at 9:30 on Sunday AM 3/13 for 4 day Dream cruise. Dropped bags with porter. Parked car on 3rd level of parking garage. Read the Sunday paper for half an hour and drank a cup of coffee. Walked across the bridge to the terminal bulding at 10 AM at the upstairs security entrance...

    Will you do Dream again?

    I think we will do the Fantasy because of the longer cruise. The pools were definitely crowded on the sea day but there are plenty of other things to do. We would also go back to the Wonder or the Magic depending on the itinerary (though our daughter would miss the AquaDuck and the interactive...

    Best time to ride Aquaduck?

    we rode right when we got on the ship (we were boarding group two) - went down half a dozen times without any wait. Also, when it first opens in the AM was good (And we didn't find the water too chilly). Also, on Castaway Cay day when it first opens (of you don't mind dealying gong...

    dress codes

    We were fortunate to eat at both Palo and Remys on our Dream cruise (3/13). I wore a jacket and tie each night, dress slacks, dress shirt. My wife was dressed appropriately as well. We enjoy dressing up for dinner and have no issues with the dress codes. And it seemed DCL might actually be...

    Dinner in the Oceaneer Club?

    Our daughter was in the Edge on our 4-night Dream cruise so dinner wasn't brought in (though there were activities involving food). We had second seating. On our Palo night (third night/pirate night) we all went to Cabanas and she ordered dinner and we ordered an appetizer and a drink. She...

    We parked on level 3 of the parking garage - at 9:30 AM. At 10 AM we walked across the bridge - through security and right into the terminal - no line whatsoever - there was a line of people coming in below (and you don't have to park in the garage to use the bridge - just go up to level three...

    Past Dream Diners...

    Cabanas did not offer dinner on the 4th night of our 4 night cruise on the Dream (nor was there a buffet available). (we ate there on the third night and it was quite nice). We were going to Remys - (we had late seating) but I talked to our head server and I went down right after first seating...

    age up into tween club on dream

    Any thoughts or experience on the likelihood of a 10 year old - two months shy of 11 being allowed into the "Edge" (the 11-13 tween club) - she's very tall for her age so certainly "looks" to be the apporiate age - I don't think she'll want to spend a lot of time there - but thought she might...
