While I sit stuck in London Heathrow due to snow and winds back home, I finished reading Flossbolna's trip report for last year's Panama Canal. It was a good read and got me excited again.

Like her, we've also decided to add a few days at
Disneyland and LA. We've decided to do the train to Anaheim. I can't believe how close the station is. 7 minute walk according to Google maps. Can anyone verify that it's as simple as it looked? I walked it virtually using Google street view but I tried that with Universal studios in Orlando too but was deceived.
With the travel issues I'm experiencing now, I wish I was leaving for Miami an additional day earlier. We start our travels 36 hours before embarkation. We should get there about 2pm the previous day, leaving us 24 hours for travel issues. I'm sure we'll be fine, but I expect we'll be biting our nails watching weather forecasts as we get up to the last few days.
In one of the recent trip reports I read, there was a comment about Studio Sea being set up during embarkation for last minute changes/additions. Is that where we can go to check out additional onboard events (tastings, tours) as well as Palo bookings? I think I'd like to make another Palo booking. We found on the 2013 EBTA that it's nice to break things up.
One thing I'm very looking forward to on this trip versus the EBTA is the time shifting. Rather than losing an hour's night sleep 6 days in a row (I think it was 6), we'll gain a few. On the EBTA we missed our character breakfast because we overslept (and forgot it was that day). Those hours really add up. A piece of advice for others that haven't done a long cruise before. It can be hard to know what day it is and when things are happening. And for things like character breakfasts that you get a ticket for at the start of the trip, you assume you'll remember it's such and such a date, but we certainly lost track. So besides sleeping in, we completely forgot. I plan on doing a better itinerary for us.
I was just curious. I don't want to cause any trouble.
to all our new cruise buddies that I missed. Can't wait to meet everyone.
