Well we did it. We booked it far in advance and it came and went so quick. Overall we really enjoyed it with a few suggestions to Disney. This was our first Disney Cruise Itinerary: Port Everglades - Day at Sea - Cozumel - Day at Sea - Castaway cay - Port Everglades Themes: Marvel day at sea...

Hi all! I've been a forum user for years and recently came back after a fairly long break from the US parks after our 2020 trip was cancelled for obvious reasons! I am currently in the middle of a five year study on Disney fan families as part of a PhD, and I wanted to share this survey I...

Talking about blisters in another thread brought up the issue of socks. What are the best socks you've found to prevent blisters for a 4 year old?

Hi everyone! First off, I want to thank the folks on this board for all the wonderful information, tips, trip reports, and answered questions as I was planning this trip for the last few months. It has truly been invaluable. I'm a Northern CA resident who has been to Disneyland maybe 6-8...

For those with young kids (mine are currently 8, 5, and 3), how do you approach souvenirs? We went to WDW in April 2022 and we gave the boys about $200 each to spend over the four park days. The two main reasons for that were we thought it was going to be a trip we wouldn't make again for many...

Hey all! So I did a search but didn't really find the answer I was looking for. My family recently moved to Florida about 45 minutes from the parks. We of course purchased annual passes for the whole family and have already made it worthwhile lol. Monday will be the first time we are taking my...

Hello hello! We are going to Disney for 10 days in February 2023. Mom, dad, grandparents, and 3 kids (5,3,1 years old). We are going to the parks 7 days, planning on a few rest days, renting stroller, etc. I think we have the basics covered 🤞 But, non of the adults in the group have been to...

Hi ! Going to WDW in september with my kids. I feel safe in the parks but we are never screened in Disney Springs. How can we be sure we are safe from gun violence in Disney Springs?

Hi all - do ticketed kiddos (so ages 3+) need to wear their magic bands to check in to the parks and any genie+ or LL? Do the parks still do fingerprints? Any tips/tricks to managing this? Thanks in advance!

Just curious how well the MagicBand slap bracelets would fit a 5 yo and 7 yo with small wrists?

We have a 4-night DVC reservation at Poly that we can't extend and starts on Monday Feb 28, but we need to fly to Orlando on the 27th. Need either: 1) a convenient place to crash for the night before we take Mears from MCO to the Poly in the morning. We have a toddler and a preschooler so I am...

My families first cruise! 4yo and 6yo, with MIL coming along as well. We're excited (but nervous to get TOO excited). We will be one of the FIRST Disney Dream cruises after COVID restrictions were loosened. Fingers crossed (and a little fairy magic) that we all have SMOOTH SAILING!

Hey there all! So bit of a newbie question--we're 2nd time cruisers, and this will be our first ever cruise with bringing our two boys along (will be 4 and almost 7, at our sail date). Was somewhat hoping that this wouldn't be a concern by our departure...but, for anyone that has BTDT, how do...

The US has authorised the Pfizer vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds amid a push to get the shot into more Americans' arms. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57066286 Great news!

Hey everyone. Looking for some expertise. My family of 4 (DH, DS 4, and DS 2) are heading down to Florida in the latter half of April to visit some family. After our visit, we are planning on booking a hotel somewhere for a few nights to have some more fun just us. Because my kids aren't used...

We have our very first stay as DVC members coming up in just 8 days! Our kids still don't know we're going or that we are DVC members (they listen to the podcast with me and will be out of their minds when they find out). We're doing a 4 resort split stay: 2 nights @ Poly (studio, actually have...

Hello. My sister and I are looking into a cruise with our families either on the Disney Dream or the Disney Magic. My sister is concerned about her youngest child who is an amateur escape artist. He escapes from home and school frequently. He even managed to escape out the backdoor of the Ikea...
