Ok, as far as excursions go, I don't think we are able to book until June since this is our first Disney Cruise. I have been looking at the DCL website to get an idea of what excursions will be offered, but it looks like they don't give you the full list?? We will be limited since we are traveling with our youngsters. I usually like to do animal/wildlife related or scenic tours, but I'm thinking with our youngest just over 1 year old, we wil have to choose based on age limitations. If we don't see something that really peaks our interest, we may just stay on board. I saw something posted earlier about daily activity schedule, where would I go about finding that?

Hi, Kim!

Disney doesn't post anything "official" on what the ship's daily activities will be for sailings, but you can find copies of the Personal Navigators (daily printed activity guides on the ship) from previous cruises on a variety of websites. They won't be exactly the same for our sailing, but they'll at least give you an idea of the many different things you can do onboard. Here's a link to one of my favorite Panama Canal trip reports on the DIS, and the writer included copies of the Navigators they had (the first one is on Page 2, I think): http://www.disboards.com/threads/photo-trip-report-–-panama-canal-cruise-plus-3-days-in-dlr.3118355/ Hope that helps!

You are on the list!

You are right. First timers can book 75 days out, this should be June 12 for you.

If you look at the Panama Canal cruise excursions, this is what they will offer. Be aware - we have already found some that are not offered because the ship is not in port long enough. If you open the excursion description fully, it will let you know if it is suitable for small children.

I have been posting links to the navigators before. The most recent you would find on the Disney Cruise Line Blog (google it, there is loads of good information there - like menus, navigators) Here is the link to the most recent navigators

While this is a really nice trip report it is unfortunately 3 years old. I would rather stick to a more recent navigator in terms of what is offered.

Fun fun! I was afraid to link to the DCL blog because I thought there was some rule about linking to outside sites on here. Glad you can!!

Hi everybody about four weeks ago I received a job offer in Florida and accepted. Last week I finished my job in Maryland and moved down to Florida 3 days ago. I'm looking forward to this trip even more now because I'll get to spend it with my mom who is still up in Maryland. Just about 3 months to go

Thank you things are happening so fast. I'm house hunting now so should be able to cash in on Florida resident benefits this year.

Thank you

Awesome ^_^
I'm finding that my financial security is wavering (no idea what is going on with my job x.x) so perhaps it would be best if you and your wife took over the excursion? We may not be able to go on it as is. BUT Dora does custom make the excursions so if there is something not listed, you can work on it
I will email her and let her know of my situation. Would you mind giving me your first name (in pm) or email (in pm) so I can tell her who to keep an eye out for?
