    Fantasy 7-Night Eastern Caribbean (San Juan) Cruise 3/9/13 - 3/16/13

    Hello all. I've been lurking on this thread from the time we booked our cruise when the booking window opened and am finally getting around to posting to this thread. We are a family of 5 -- me, DW, DS14, DD12, DD8 -- and we live in Toronto, Canada. Our cabins will be at the back of the...

    How many booking Aulani @ 7 months booked airfare FIRST?

    We are going in August 2012 and booked our flights in October 2011 (approx. 10 months out). We are 5 nights in Oahu before moving on to another island. We needed at least a one-bedroom. I had diarized to call Member Services to book at the 7 month window (this was before online booking was...

    best room for family of 5

    We wanted a veranda for our family of 5, so we went with an inside stateroom together with one that had a veranda. Not really a cost savings over a veranda stateroom that sleeps 5 but you get much more room and two rooms for more privacy. In March 2010, we were in Dream rooms 7689 (Cat 11B)...

    In the Terminal -- Does it have wifi?

    In anticipation of a potential lengthy delay in the terminal pre-boarding, does anyone know whether there is free wifi in the terminal? I am assuming that the answer is "no" but just thought I would ask.

    Dapper Dans (Barbershop at DLP)

    Has anyone been at DLP recently and found Dapper Dan's open? If so, what were the opening hours like? Was it busy? How did you book an appointment? Thanks in advance. (We'll be there after the weekend!)

    Dream Staterooms at the VERY back

    We are a family of 5 and these are the exact staterooms we booked for our 4-day Dream cruise. Aside from having the walled veranda, the only other possible downside I could see with the 6B is the fact that a portion of the veranda might be visible from the decks above because of the way the...

    Has anyone done this???

    I believe the discrepancy between UK-resident and France-resident pricing has to do with the fact that DLRP quotes to the UK in GBP in their brochures and marketing materials and therefore locks into a euro/GBP exchange rate in advance and for 6 month periods at a time. So, if the GBP gets...

    Possible job relocation to Toronto

    ...it should probably be clarified for OP that, while Sunnybrook & Women's College are now the same organization, Sunnybrook Hospital is in a totally different location (mid-town). York Mills and Leslie is very close to Sunnybrook, its quite a long way from Women's College Hospital. (Having...

    TGV to Disneyland

    I booked through the TGV-Europe (i.e., official SNCF-operated) site, rather than Rail Europe (which is a third party agent). I just booked last month and they mailed the tickets to me in Canada free of charge, received within a week and a half. I believe Rail Europe would have done the same...

    OT - Trip to NYC

    We were there last summer during the week before Labour Day. We are 2A, 3C, so finding reasonably priced accomodations is always going to be a challenge. We had been looking at going to NYC for a couple of years and quickly identified the Doubletree Suites in Times Square as our preferred...

    Question about our 1st cruise!

    We are a family of 5. We did a cat 4 on our first (and so far only) DCL cruise to fit everyone in the same room but it was quite a premium over a cat 5 or 6 to have that extra person in the room and not that much more space. We want a veranda but do not want to pay for adjoining veranda...

    adding someone to your booking?

    Based on the DLRP booking conditions, it seems to me you should be fine. Clause 6 covers "Altering your booking". While DLRP does consider a modification to the number of people in a room be an "exchange of package", clause 6.2 provides that they will not impose an "alteration fee"...

    First time planning trip to Walt Disney World - Help Needed

    For a first-timer, I think it can be a huge benefit to using a travel agent who specializes in WDW. For starters, rather than spending several days on the these boards posting questions and follow-ups, you can speak directly to the agent and have your questions answered right away. I used a...

    TGV CDG - Disneyland Paris

    I had the same issue/concern on our trip this summer, as we are coming from North America. However, I read that line-ups to get TGV tickets at CDG can be horrendous. So, I purchased tickets giving myself plenty of time. 1:15 am train, scheduled plane arrival is 9:50 am. I will try to get on...

    Getting from DLRP to Paris w/ luggage

    Hello everyone. I know that the most efficient and cost-effective way to get into Paris from DLRP is to use the RER. However, we will be flying into CDG and are just spending a couple of days at the start of our vacation at DLRP and heading into Paris afterwards. I'm not thrilled with...

    Chef Mickey or Crystal Palace for 1st character meal

    We're not big fans of CP in any event but here the factors that I would take into account (some of which have already been mentioned above). 1. Food quality. Personally, I don't feel that the food at any of the character meals is all that great. So, while a number of people may comment that...

    Old Key West Resort

    I live in Canada and have been reading some of the DLRP and UK Trip Planning threads for our trip to Europe this summer. Just thought I'd give my two cents, having stayed at OKW last year. 100 GBP a night for a studio at OKW or SSR plus free dining is a tremendous value. It would still be...
