sandals shop in that sounds like something my wife might be interested in what kind of food does the restaurant have sorry to hear about the Toy Story going out of business I would like to do that myself

Kino sells awesome handmade leather sandals right onsite for $15 a pair! They have a pretty good selection, but if you can't find what you want, they can custom make it for you. Check out their website:

And here is a link to Croissants de France, if you want to check out their menu:

The Key West Toy Factory was so cool! The space itself was so cool, and they had an awesome selection of educational games, toys, etc. It's such a shame they couldn't make it.

Oh, you're welcome! There is plenty to do/see in Key West, even right near where the ship docks. We have been a few times, but you should at least get off the ship and roam for an hour or two if you never have.

what is everybody going to do in Key West Florida I know I want to try that key lime pie I've been here about what is everybody else going to be doing

We were planning on taking the trolley. I have read that there are several different ones? Anyone done this before? Any recommendations to which one to take?

We have never been to Key West so we thought it'd be a good method of touring the area.

My DD's favorite is Space Mountain. I can't really say that I have a MK "favorite" but I do hate the teacups, and the Astro Orbiter. Haha

We have done the Old Town Trolley, which is great for a cruise around the island with a few on-off stops. The Conch Train looks kind of cheesy, like one of those little trains that run through some shopping malls. If you do Old Town, it's cheaper to buy your tickets in advance on their website. I think kids 12 and under are free.

Perfect! Old Town is the one I was looking at. I think I'll go ahead and buy the tickets online.

I was looking at another cruise meet thread earlier today (the Feb. 15th sailing out of Galveston) and they had set up a standing meet for all sea days at the Mickey pool at 10am. Is there any interest in setting up something similiar here so that those of us that want to meet know where others may be?

 

[mjcreer]

We are interested in the last minute FE group! I can't believe how soon the cruise is coming!

I'm also planning on doing this trolley tour on my own, but wasn't planning on purchasing tickets online ahead of time in case we aren't able to dock there for some reason. This will only be my 2nd cruise, but I've heard of missing other ports for various reasons, but don't know if that applies to Key West! It looks like it's only about $3 less to purchase in advance, so I plan to wait and buy tickets there.

We've only been to WDW for one week (this past summer), so we really can't speak from experience. With little kids (3 and 5), we focused on character dining. At the Magic Kingdom, we enjoyed breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and friends at the Crystal Palace, as well as late lunch with the princesses at Akershus in Epcot.

Since we're trying to go to two parks in one day on our cruise, I don't think we'll do any reserved dining.

 

[yaknyeti]

Crystal Palace character dining I have never Ben but I hear great reviews about it we was the New Fantasyland this past October for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party they had a sneak peek for the New Fantasyland they Gaston Tavern they had a delicious pork shank leg it's the same size is the big turkey legs we are in for a treat it really is nice out there
