Thank you

These are still great to watch and really appreciate the time you take to put them together.

We are doing this same cruise in August, so it is good to see locations/ports and get ideas.

Looking forward to the next installment (no pressure!!!!)

I absolutely love your videos. Whomever is doing the editing is truly gifted. I loved the turtle porn. But my absolute favorite is the animal of the day I am so looking forward to my Disney Dream New Years Crusie next year.

Good Morning to you Phil.

DW and I have been watching all of your videos. They are just great. I was wondering what editing program you use to make your videos? I have and use Sonic on my computer, but it does not have all of the great packages yours seem to have. For example the opening on your first video that resembles 20th Century Fox. I think that looks great!!! Thanks for sharing your vacation with all of us.

Well, Phil, I guess if I only had taken a minute to read the previous post I would have seen you had already answered my question. But, thanks for sharing the information.

Looks like you had an awesome vacation! How does Ben keep getting chosen for things?? He is very lucky!

Hello Emma....this is a fantastic TR!! I concur with all my fellow Disers that DCL should have you guys on cruises, just to showcase them!!

One question for you...I saw that your family were able to book these interesting port excursions without going through Disney (which sometimes seem to be prohibitively expensive)...how did you find these? and how did you ascertain whether or not they were reliable?

Thanks in advance for your input!!

Best,

I really don't know! It happens quite a lot everywhere we go. I guess he must just have one of those faces!

Hi Melia!

Thanks for your kind words and we are glad that you are enjoying the TR!

It would be a dream come true to be asked to showcase other DCL Cruises but would take a serious amount of

With regard to our Port Excursions I spent a lot of time researching each Port
I firstly looked through the Port Excursions offered on the DCL Website to get an idea of what places were a possibility. I then researched ways of doing Excursions of interest privately using Trip Advisor & Cruise Critic for help. There is a massive amount of information available.

We simply couldn't afford to do the DCL or Private Excursions and I was also concerned about the length of these organised trips with a 7 year old in tow (Some were 12hours long)

We tried to balance out seeing things which were of interest to Phil & myself & finding some fun things to do for Ben (His favourites being the Dolphin Swim & Camel rides) Although he also enjoyed the Colosseum & Leaning Tower of Pisa a lot too.

I hope this has been of help!

Hi!

I just wanted to let you know that we are enjoying these too!! You are doing such a great job!!

Thanks for sharing!

aww man I was looking forward to the animal of the day

Ben sure looked enthused. Is "Gobsmacked" a correct term to describe his enthusiasm.

Looking forward to reading the rest.

Hi,

Thanks
