Your KTTW card is your ticket, from what I've read.

I read that also it is loaded on the ship card. Only you can't charge back to the ship so remember cash or a card when you disembark for the day.

These are correct. Your park hopper is already on your ship card (KTTW card), so that's all you need to get into the park and to get Fastpasses. You cannot charge anything onto your shipboard account while at the parks. Also, they request that adults have some form of ID with them to get back on the ship. They checked our IDs before allowing us onto the bus back to the ship.

Another bit of info about WDW day. The night before, you should get 4 photopass cards in your stateroom. If you have photos taken at WDW by any photopass photographer, you can then view and/or purchase those photos at Shutters on the ship. Normally Photopass and Shutters photos are completely seperate, but in this instance they've combined them.

Our stateroom looked decent but the couch definitely needs replaced and the shower/sink side of our split bathroom needed attention. At one point we came back during the day and one of the faucet handles was laying on the sink broken. Someone did fix it though while we were at dinner. The floor in that bathroom was in bad shape too. There had been some major water damage or something because the floor felt "soft" in a certain place and a couple tiles were lying there unattached to the floor. Other than that, everything on the ship looked pretty great.

We had a similar problem with our floor on the Wonder a few years back.We were moved to another room and it was repaired for the next guest.

It was super cute; even our teen dds enjoyed it.

Is it tea or apple juice and cookies? And was it with Alice?

Thanks!

so how much was the photo disc if you got pics from the park and shutters????

also...we have to have birth certificates to clear cstoms...do they let you take that stuff back to the cabin or do you have to carry it around all day???

My guess would be to carry it, you will need it to reboard.

We had apple juice and chocolate chip cookies. Alice and the mad hatter were both there. He was funny! They also pick 2 kids from the audience to join their party.

The photo CD, with ALL your pictures was $349.....if you wanted the printed copies as well, than it was an extra $75.

IF you choose the CD with all your pics on it, then the Disney ones would be included. IF you choose to pick only 10 or 20 digital files, then you were choosing between the ship photos and WDW.


As well, if you are getting off the ship, and clearing customs, then you will have to take your BC with you. I don't even know how it would be possible to try to clear customs, take the card back, THEN get off the ship. As you would have to clear again. Also, you need it to get back on. They are checked in Port Canaveral, and Key West.

Do you need your BC or passport if you're from Canada? ( when you're exiting the ship at PC, not to take the cruise)

Thanks,

You would need passport from Canada.

Hi, so are you from Canada then?

That would be a shame to have to carry our passports around at WDW. It would be easier if it was just our BC's.

[hudson3709]

I am from Canada. Americans can get through US customs with a BC and Photo ID, but anyone else, Canadians included, will need a Passport if we have to clear customs.

Make sure you keep those bags secured to you at the parks, it would be a bad thing to loose.

Do the pictures on the CD have the same borders as the prints?

Thanks!
