Thanks for the information on the strollers! Any tips for the best excursions to do with a 3 year old? She will be almost 4, but won't qualify for 4 year old cut off based on age.

Key West: You might want to check out the Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, keywestbutterfly.com, 3 years and under are free.
Nassau: If you want a second beach day, the Colonial Hilton (mentioned above) is really close to the cruise terminal and you can contact them to get beach passes. To be honest, we treat Nassau as another sea day.
Castaway Cay: I think the only excursion that allows under 4s is the glass-bottomed boat. The beach is perfect for young kids though, the lagoon is protected so there isn't any significant surf to deal with.

Welcome to the group PerkParty! So glad to have you! I just want to second all the advice adamki gave you, being on over 5 cruises across most of the DCL ships certainly qualifies him as our resident expert! One of the small umbrella style strollers is the best option, you have to store it in your room and the hallways are a little tight compared to most hotels so the smaller and lighter the better. Also regarding Nassau: a lot of cruisers treat that like a sea day but if you have never been I would at least give it a couple hours to explore or go to a beach. A lot of people are not big fans of the stop but take some time to decide for yourself. But that's your call, the most important thing is enjoying your cruise no matter what that means to you!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Only 64 days to go.

 

[NS8VN]

A belated "Happy Thanksgiving" to everyone in the US and happy "9 Weeks Until We Sail" to everyone in this group! One nice thing about booking January trips (aside of price of course) is that the holidays really help the last few weeks fly by. We booked all of our private transportation this week. Just need to book DCL transportation from the ship to MIA, doing that to take advantage of the on-board check-in and checking our bags the night before. Aside of booking that and applying our Disney rewards card to our shipboard account we just have to wait.

I'm sure it will be here in no time <-- Don't worry, it's a racing snail!

The purpose of this thread will be a spot to find out which other DIS'ers you will be sailing with and discuss anything related to the upcoming cruise. I will manage and organize this post and the next one outlining a Manifest, FE, and any activities that anybody would like to head up. I won't be organizing any of the activities myself but will keep the thread updated so everyone can see who is doing what.
