Some one had posted on the old thread with concerns about carry on sizes for DCL. They do actually have sizes, however, I have NEVER had an issue with the scanners! Those are not owned by DCL anyway - they are from the TSA (same as at the airports). If the luggage doesn't fit, they will hand search or wand scan it. So pack without concern.

I have taken full sized checked luggage through the scanner without even a glance from the agent. In NYC I took "iron mountain" boxes...again, just a question of "you are sailing on Disney, right? ...lots of alcohol in those boxes, miss" I just smiled and took them off the belt! (there was a lot of alcohol....12 bottles of wine, a case of Strongbow, 2 liters Amaretto, 1.75 liter Sweet tea vodka and misc other dessert wines).

Not an issue...

Whoop Whoop - new thread!!!

Big thanks to all the organisers setting their placeholders up and especially to Mandy for getting it all started.

Kirbo, don't feel dumb about people getting Icelandic airfare, you got a great price for what you did and you do what's right for you at the time

I think I found my new best friend! What's your cabin number?

Wow, IrishCowboy was QUICK on closing Part One and adding Part Two to the list.

No problem! I had thrown out the idea of having everything located on page one last winter, but nobody seemed keen on the idea back then. I guess after having to wade through 200+ pages of posts people started understanding the benefit of having the most updated info on page one.

Plus... airfares are like a yo-yo. You would've had to watch them hourly. Craziness!

But yes - I remember last summer people looking for airfare, getting crazy figures, and I was able to find Iceland Air for less than half of what they were finding. Plus bonus... throw in a quick excursion in Iceland

Gives you something to think about for your NEXT European cruise. Baltics maybe?

The airfare thing had me

Next time I'll enlist someone like you to watch them for me. You're good at this stuff!

The Baltics

. Probably can't afford going there. But it sure would be nice!

So glad we have this thread now. I am just too lazy for the old thread. I need all the info to be easily accessible. Case in point, the airfare thing

. If I'd had it all laid out nice and neat that would have helped

We are planning a Baltics cruise with Princess in 2015, it will most likely be our next cruise after this one as already have plans for the latter part of this year and 2014.

Although if Disney do announce a Baltics today........there will be discussions AKA begging AKA being told tonight in our household

FAO Bobbiwoz - I saw you mention on the previous thread that you are not a big/serious pin collector. Just to let you know I'm not really either as I only buy pins from Disney parks not off Ebay etc. So I may be not trading lots on the day, if any, that's why I tried to put it on the website that if you want to come and just chat about pins and admire others that's fine too

Hopefully it hasn't put you off signing up

New Thread!!

Love having all of the organizers info easily accessible!
