Thank you, everyone! :thumbsup2 It sounds like my crew of bottomless stomachs will manage to fillup on the DDP--especially the buffets. It looks like WDW won out!

Okay, I have four teenagers and an 8 year-old who loves to eat. I just came back from a Chinese restaurant and watched them consume their food and, looking at the Disney Dining Plan, I don't think WDW has enough food to feed them let alone having a Dining Plan that will fill their bottomless...

We've had lower staterooms fore and few problems but I have talked with people who speak of the "black water" problem due to lack of pressure and it seems like it is pretty frequent. The puggle is adoreable. Curt

We have cruised in Nov and Feb and though the weather was warm, CC's water was a bit chilly, but not enough to interrupt the fun! As a result, I suspect in September the water will be perfect. We've always avoided Sept due to hurricane season and it seems year after year it is "going to be...

Mom x 4 and Gramma X 4 gave very good advice. We had faith that our 12 year old would use his card wisely and he was advised that he could spend $20 per day in the arcade (there is so much more to do onboard than play games). Obviously we were delusional. We checked on the second day and...

In our case, the door sign served three functions: Besides personalizing our rooms, with younger aged chidlren (8 and 9 at the time of our cruise), it allowed them to easily find our state rooms. If you've cruised before, you realize that all of the rooms look the same from the hall and we...

Hi everone! I believe, Tracey, it's called a Bachelorette Party here. Even one day is at least a cruise! April, thank you for the good information on RCCL and CCL! I'll check into those prices and accomodations. I'm hoping with RCCL's newest ship that they will have some good prices on...

Poor thing got moved to page 4--can't have that happen! Summer holidays tend to be a bit pricey, Tracey. That's true about anywhere you go. I'm very fearful of DCL's ability to stay competitive. I accompanied a group of 8th graders to a monestary yesterday (thought of joining but the monks...

From what I read (and I can only rely on my book since I've never been there), both are pretty much the same. I personally would suspect that the week after Christmas would actually be worse since Thanksgiving week only has two days off from school (the kids normally go until Wednesday) while...

Hi Tracey! Not having been to WDW I can only answer from reading the "Unofficial Guide". However, I also had a friend who went last year between Christmas and New Years's and affirmed what the Guilde said--it is very, very busy. They claim that the best time is between Thanksgiving and...

Hopefully, the court cases will get a bit better, Tracey. I cannot imagine two weeks of jury duty. We have trouble getting people to show up for one day of it here! I'm pushing for another cruise in 2007. We've talked about resorts and DW, but I have problems with the age span of the kids...

Sorry, Tracey, I forgot--college basketball is probably something your not as familiar with. Every March, the U.S. picks 64 of its "best" teams (debatable) and has them play against each other to a final champion. Almost everyone has a college that they support and it's a huge following in the...

The Final Four starts this week, so I'm going to avoid downtown Indianapolis for the week! The closest I'll get is seeing the RCA dome from the 11th floor of the hospital--good enough for me! Like April, my near and dear conference--the Big 10--isn't represented either, although one of my...

Hi Tracey: No, we call it "Clearance Shopping Day" and "Don't Go Out Day" because the stores are packed with after-Christmas shoppers looking to pick up a bargain for the next year's Christmas (I think our neighbors to the north might call it Boxing Day, though). I am so happy for you...

Okay, I've been negligent in my duties. Tracey--you were a good reminder of the important things in life--the DISboards! I'm being transferred to a different department and have about four weeks to get all of my projects off of my desk, so it's been really hectic at work and then with the new...

I was just sitting here looking at the Port Canaveral webcam and it was showing the Wonder at the dock about 1:45 EST. I just had to go through your postings and see who the lucky folks were loading at that time. Enjoy your cruise!!! :wave: I'm envious! CurtS

Our foster child has arrived--all 22 lbs. of her. She has attached herself to Chris--who, at 13, tries very hard to avoid looking like he's flattered, but you can see the "big brother" attitude come through. Take care everyone. Have a Happy St. Patty's Day. :thumbsup2 Curt

Thank you, Tracey, for the happy faces! The meeting wasn't as difficult as all of us imagined, but we still put a little vodka in our water bottles just to be safe. ;) What you mentioned in your e-mail is very accurate and what we are seeing from foster children--they tend to not be...
