Hi. My Dad surprised my family and my sister's family with a 4 day Wonder cruise for New Year. We were over visiting from Australia and were really excited to try cruising for the first time. So there was grandfather, grandmother, 2 men, 2 women and 3 kids, aged 4, 8 and 11. It was so...

Hi We stayed in January and to be honest thought it was very average. The food court was expensive and the service at reception and the food court poor. The decor is fun outside and the rooms a little larger than I had been led to believe but I too experienced mousekeeping trying to clean our...

Hi. We just got back after almost 5 weeks away, 8 days at WDW and a 4 day Wonder Cruise included. I'll talk about the Wonder Cruise at another time. I can't possibly manage a day by day report as it is all a blur to me now but a few comments: Brickbats first - we were really...

Has anyone done this? Is it really crowded? We thought it would be a unique experience (and apparently everyone gets a medalion which we thought the kids may like after finishing the walk) but given we are coming all the way from Australia and have limited time the other thought was to avoid...

Thanks heaps 'kenziesmom' - she has agreed to send the cards. You are awesome!

Hi - I know it is a big ask, but is anyone prepared to send two postcards to Australia? We leave Dec 16 and it can take up to 2 weeks to get here. While my daughter has been to Disney before my niece and nephew haven't. They all love getting mail - imagine getting some from Disney! Please...

Hi - I live in Australia (home of the Wiggles) and my daughter used to love them (she is almost 9 now and way to cool for the Wiggles). Anyway, thought you might like to know that Anthony was Cleo magazines Bachelor of the Year a few years ago - all the mums love him. Enjoy one of our best...

We are going to be in Disney World January 5 - 13 - happy to send postcards! Please pm me with names, address, favourite character and any special message and we'd be happy to oblige

Thanks for all the leads - I'm on to them!

Sorry, this isn't a disney related question - but my family is coming to Florida for Christmas and my 8 yo daughter is a mad Hilary Duff fan. If possible I'd like to get some Duff Stuff that isn't yet available in Australia (eg I thought I'd seen some beads you hang in your doorway...

We have a large family and a 'tradition' where everyone buys one gift to the value of $20 (suitable for the adults). All the gifts go into the middle and a name is drawn out. The first person chooses and gift and opens it. The second person (and everyone after) chooses a gift and before he or...

Hello - has anyone had one of these? Is it worth it? We are 9 people and don't know whether we should go with the gathering (and know we have less flexibility on booking/changing plans etc)

Thanks for replying. I was hoping there would be something happening that was suitable for adults and kids. I don't really want to separate as we are having a bit of a family reunion on board and want to stay together. But it is good to know there is a place for the kids if they get bored...

Hi. My family is booked on the 4 day cruise which includes New Years Eve. Does anyone know if they do anything special that night? And does the kids club stay open longer? We are 6 adults and 3 kids (grandparents, parents etc) with kids aged 4 8 and 11. Thanks!

Thanks guys. You are awesome! Now if I can only figure out how to keep 3 kids amused for a 26 hour travel time (Perth to Orlando.....)

Sorry, you guys have probably seen this type of question a hundred times before but I can't phone Disney (I'm in Australia) and need some advice. Here is the story. My family and my sister's family are coming to Florida to visit my Dad. He will probably come to Disney for at least part of the...

I have been reading about email offers. How do you get on the email offer mailing list? Anyone ever hear about offers going to overseas email addresses? We are going in January 06 (all the way from Australia) and can either register ourselves or have my Dad (Florida resident) register. I...

Thanks for your comments. it is going to cost us a 'gazillion' dollars to get there from Australia and we want to experience everything! This board sure will help us make the most of our trip

This forum rocks! Almost everything I can think of is answered here - except.... anyone been to Disneyworld during the Marathon? We are coming all the way from Australia and note the weekend we will be there in January coincides with the Marathon. Will it have an impact? Any ideas what areas...

Hi We are planning a trip to DW from Australia in January when the parks close early and will be staying at a Value resort. I assume the park restaurants close when the parks do? If so I'm not sure it is worth buying the plan since the only chance for table service is at the parks and I'm...
