    Storytellers WOC Dining Package Confusion

    That's what we're hoping, we booked DCA for the 27th for that reason, but have hoppers in case everyone else has the same idea.

    Storytellers WOC Dining Package Confusion

    We're going next weekend, my plan is to try for VQ first, but this is my last day backup. Since it's a new show, and now there's not going to be Fantasmic, I'm concerned it'll be extra crowed. Things were going to be easier when we booked this trip, before they announced the 100 kick off.

    Storytellers WOC Dining Package Confusion

    Thanks, that was the way I was reading it, but it's always good to know what people have been seeing.

    Storytellers WOC Dining Package Confusion

    Has anyone done this recently and can verify the process for me? I would like to do the Storytellers WOC viewing package, but it looks like it's no longer specificly booked that way at least online. I booked a ressie for dinner, do you just ask on arrival now, or is it still a separate...

    Palo brunch or dinner

    I'm going to go against everyone else so far and vote dinner. We booked dinner on a whim after watching someone's youtube and I'm so glad we did. We went into it assuming we weren't going to manage the prefix so it was a little pricey but I felt totally worth it. We did both brunch and...

    Recent Disney Hotel Transfer Pickup Time

    We stayed at GF before our 1/22 and were told pick up was 8:15. The bus actually arrived about 8:05, but we were the first stop. The paperwork we were given the night before said to arrive 30 mins prior to the pick up time.

    Minimum Age for DCL App

    Our 9 year old was able to use it on "his" phone last month. Without the wave phones it became a necessity for the kids to have it. We only downloaded it at home though and didn't try using it until on board.

    Anyone do a Star Wars Day at Sea - What ya think?

    No, on the Fantasy last month we were able to have a nice impromptu conversation with Capt Hook about how Smee had gone off to the port on an errand and had we seen him return. It was a lot of fun, and initiated by Hook as he passed us. I got the feeling with the emptier ships the characters...

    Question about the kids club scheduling

    We did the 1/22 Fantasy and had no issues with kids club. We made sure to book the palo time first at the 30 day window and then did the other days. Once on board we could add a second booking each day. Then we found out that after he attended the first booking we could add a 3rd for later...

    Disney transport from MCO

    When you do the 30 days it asked. We didn't use transfers to/from airport and it still asked.

    Question on "pirate night"

    On the fantasy last week most people didn't. But disney also didn't really do it either. The characters were in pirate gear and I think they had the backdrop for photos, but no takeover or even bandanas. We did have star wars night though so I'm assuming that's why 🤷‍♀️.

    Anyone done a Palo brunch recently?

    We went last week on the Fantasy, as pp stated no buffet; but I think most of buffet items are still available as part of appetizer plates. Our waiter encouraged us to order as much as we wanted, and to try lots of things. We started with breakfast foods, then bread and pastries, pizza and a...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We went last week for a few pre and post cruise days 1/22, 1/29 and 1/30. While I understand we only did weekend days and that adds to the madness/crowds it was a miserable experience. First the fact that the current ticket expiration policy makes it impossible to buy multi-days for pre and...

    DCL transportation vs PAT

    We were on the 1/22 fantasy and left from gf. Luggage had to be ready just inside our room at 7am (no need to stay with it). We were told pick up was 8:15 and had to be in the lobby 30 minutes prior. I think we actually left closer to 8:10 and did 2 more pick ups. Once we got to the port...

    Getting on the ship quicker...

    We took the transfer from wdw and received boarding group 2. We had to be in the lobby by 7:45 to meet the dcl reps and walt for the bus. Once we boarded we picked up a few other hotels and were on our way. There seemed to be a lot of people but once we finished our tests and got into the...

    Nfl playoffs onboard ships?

    On the fantasy now, most of the games were available on the room tvs on the "event" channels. They were also playing on the tv at the outside bar above the pool deck, and on at ogills (which is 21 or over)

    Mask Requirement during Photo taking

    On the fantasy now, and masks are required. But I did see they had the formal night photos set up on the deck to avoid the mask issue.

    Are you going to the parks before your cruise?

    We just boarded today, because we were coming from a cold climate we planned an extra day at the front. So it only made sense to go into a park. While it was a bit crowded at HS I never felt concerned. The only real issue is that short tickets expire so quickly so in order to do 1 day ahead...

    How have the passenger numbers been lately?

    Just boarded the Fantasy today. We asked at edge and were told between 1300 and 1400 people with about 200 kids total.

    CC Activities for Edge Aged Kids

    For anyone who's been on castaway recently, I know I've seen people mention that Scuttle's has had some openings since covid, but what if anything has been available for the 11-13 age group? We're on the fantasy in a couple of weeks and I just realized I have no idea if there's anything my 13ds...
