    Kennedy Space Center

    We were just at Kennedy Space Center in February. We made the mistake of going there on the day we RETURNED from the cruise. That was a huge mistake. The whole family was exhausted from all the fun on the ship and we were dead tired. My oldest (11 yrs old) spent the first two hours crying. After...

    Children's Programs Onboard

    No problem Tross!! I am so jealous you are going within a month. I just came in from an evening out with the girls and my car thermometer up here in Michigan said 10 degrees. All I could think of was that beautiful beach at Castaway Cay. Oh how I miss it!! Brrrrrrrrrr Wendy

    Children's Programs Onboard

    Hi Tross, She actually never wanted the older sisters. She loved the one -on- one time with Mom and Dad!! Her sisters all stayed wherever they were. They actually didn't even know she was with us until later in the day. They didn't mind though. We did make the 6 year old go to the club on...

    checking in baggage

    You will arrive at the terminal and be directed to pull up to the terminal driveway. They will ask you to drop off all of your passengers and luggage and one person will be sent to park the car. Your passengers will wait for a baggage handeler to come and check in the bags. Disney has this...

    Children's Programs Onboard

    They WILL NOT let you move up to another age group (unless you are within a month) especially if its busy (like spring break). By the way - you can't lie about their ages either. They have them on the computer with your cabin info. They are very strict on this point. I completely understand...

    All i can say is Wow

    I just loved what Shirley did for my girls. She is the best!! I called and asked her about making up sand pails for my four DD's. I told her i was on a budget but I wanted to give them something fun to play with on the beach on Castaway Cay. Well, what she came up with was just fabulous! Each...

    Children's Programs Onboard

    Hi Laurie, Well here's what happened with our 4 girls. The two older girls (10 and 11) were given check-in and check-out privledges. Basically they could come and go as they pleased. They were required to at least page us and let us know where they were going but we didn't have to return to...

    Children's Programs Onboard

    I just got back from our first cruise and had the same situation before we left. Let me tell you they will not budge but guess what - it doesn't matter. The four year old and the 6 year old are in the same room. They have their own groups but when they are in the club they are together. My 6...

    Chosen as the Magical Family

    Thanks everyone - I have had many people ask how we managed to get this honor. All i can think of is they pick a stateroom (by lottery maybe) and you are it! Not sure but it sounds good. Wendy I'll take pixie dust over snow anyday!

    mandatory boat drill/life vest drill?

    I don't know the real answer to the question about why you have to wear them back to your cabin but... as a mom, I know that if you let them take something off (like a coat) before they get to the destination it gets lost somewhere in between. This may be Disney's way of making sure the jackets...

    mandatory boat drill/life vest drill?

    We just got back and I must say the drill was not that bad. We had gathered all of our vests and headed out to our assigned spot on deck 4. You MUST put on the vest (even the crying children must wear it for a moment). They put you in parrallel lines of 5 each and each line stands side by side...

    Five in our family, where to stay the night before?

    We are a family of 6 going on our first cruise this Sunday. We are staying the night before (all in one room) at the Comfort Suites in Cocoa Beach. We got a suite that sleeps 6 for less than $100. I think it's going to be about $78 actually. We have four young daughters and I didn't want to have...

    Feb 1-5, 2004 - Wonder

    Eeyorejmh I guess I didn't realize the Super Bowl was on Feb. 1. I've been a bit preoccupied planning the cruise. Good news though - my DH is not very worried about watching it this year. Maybe I have him converted to Disney mania, too!! You didn't mention it - do you have any kids going on...
