    I'm sending out postcards again!

    I have family going to WDW in May. They have 9-year old quads, so not only is this their first Disney trip...it's the first real vacation since the quads arrived (they've been kind of busy). The card would be sent to Canada, but if you mail it at the start of your stay in mid-April, it should be...

    Is the postcard thread still active?

    Thanks for the offer, luvdamouse91, but early May would be pushing it because the card needs to be sent to Canada for May (don't have exact departure date unfortunately). Maybe someone else can help out? If it can be of any interest, I still have a blank Magic postcard showing the boat at...

    Is the postcard thread still active?

    My sons got postcards before our Magic cruise back in 2004 and after our cruise I paid it forward. I have family who are taking their 9-year old quads to Disney World in May. It's not only their first Disney trip, it's their first major family vacation (tough to travel when you're a family of...

    Too cold in February??

    We cruised in February of this year and the weather that time of year is "iffy"...you could get great weather or you could get a week of clouds/rain. We had two nice, but not really hot days, and the rest were cloudy. It was pouring at CC in the morning but the rain stopped midday so we actually...

    Booked, but nervous we won't like it.

    I agree about the weather. We were on the Feb. 26 Magic and with the exception of two days, you needed a light sweater both day and evening. I love to sunbathe but didn't because it was a little too chilly (and I'm from the Great White North). I wore capris almost the entire type. I too would...

    Booked, but nervous we won't like it.

    We took our first ever cruise with our two kids aged 7 and 9 in February (Western) and while we now know that cruising is not for us, I have no regrets. First and foremost, Disney does an excellent job at "client experience" and the overall quality of service indeed deserves credit. We did the...

    Saving money on excursions (Western)

    Just tell him one DISer spent US$1000 for one single excursion for two adults and two kids to see Chichen Itza in Mexico and everything will seem real cheap after that. BTW, I'm the Diser who did that in February 2005 and it was worth every single penny. I'd do it again tomorrow without a...

    Passports Expiration Dates?

    We cruised in February and my Canadian passport was to expire 10 days after our return to port. The six-month rule is true in many countries, but I had no problem on the Western route with DCL. I would be surprised if any US or Canadian citizen had a problem resulting from the 6-month rule for a...

    Requesting a dining rotation...any luck?

    I did get it (LAP to APL), but soon regretted it because while I was in Lumières for the two more formal nights, we were on the APL rotation which has a higher percentage of young kids (my boys were older at 7 and 9 on our Feb. cruise). If I had to do it all over, I would have stayed with what...

    Cost of Coffee at Cove Cafe?

    I wouldn't recommend the latté. Anyone can do a better job at home. I just stuck with the free regular coffee because the stuff you paid for was no better. I consider Starbucks your average run-of-the-mill coffee house and the ship's coffee wasn't even as good as that.

    Weight Gain...

    My son had the brownie one (cannot remember which dining room that was), but it was really bad, so I wouldn't recommend that particular choice. He did not like it at all. I took a taste and agreed with him. I don't care how low calorie/sugar a food is, if it tastes bad, why bother. I don't...

    Crazy question about the TV

    Please pardon my nosiness and flame away if you wish, but why would anyone want to bring a GameCube on vacation to begin with? Aren't kids spending too much time in front of those things anyway? Between a GameCube in the stateroom, all those computers in the Lab, an onboard arcade and a GameBoy...

    wine tasting

    My husband attended and they cover the basics for newbies: color of wine depending on age, evaluating alcohol content, that kind of thing. He enjoyed it because he got to sample a few new wines (one of which we are now adding to our wine cellar), but if you already know your way around wines...

    Weight Gain...

    I'm sure you could, but if you're dining with another family, there will probably be one on your table anyway...but at least it will be more than an arm's reach away. For two families, they tend to put one at each end. I never asked not to have one because I have two growing boys who need...

    Not off to a good start.

    An impolite question.....

    That was my experience on the Feb 26 Magic. I was green on the Saturday...I was told that the rocky first day/night has something to do with the transition from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico... I wore sea bands (they really worked for me) and that got me though the night. Before the...

    Weight Gain...

    The mistake many people make is that they gorge themselves, eating beyond necessity and making unhealthy/unwise choices. Their reasoning: they want to get their money's worth. Then they complain about indigestion and weight gain. Go figure. 1. Try to eat only at mealtimes, very easily done...
