My DH doesn't own a tie anymore, and the last one he owned he wore to our wedding. He'll wear a buttoned up collared shirt but if restaurants like Palo required suit and tie we wouldn't go because he wouldn't be willing to put on a monkey suit, as he calls it, especially on vacation when he...

The water in Castaway in Feb was definitely cold and it was windy too. My eldest didn't mind at all but my little one fussed. They were both happy on the pools on the boat.

We've done concierge lunch once, and the regular MDR lunch once, mostly to avoid the chaos/crowds and because we bring our own carryons onboard instead of checking them at the terminal. But I think we'll try either Marceline Market or the pool deck options next time. The entrees were incredibly...

I’m taking a DCL cruise with a dear friend who has the palate of a picky toddler and I wouldn’t dream of dragging her to Enchante, not worth the cost for her and frankly it would spoil the experience a little for the rest of us. As a previous poster mentioned she would be much happier at Palo...

We did the breakfast. The price was absurd but the food wasn’t terrible (minus the desserts, which were very meh) and it was worth it to only wait 15 minutes to meet the Grinch once we finished our meal. I would do it again if they put it back in Circus McGirkus and made it a buffet like it used...

- Make sure you have the Universal App so you can sync your Minion Blaster to it, you get mini missions that way that make the game more fun. My 12 and 8 year olds loved it. - Ask about the immigration tour at MiB - Check out the raptors hatching inside the Jurassic Park discovery center. You...

I’m at an airport hotel staying the night before my flight because like you I live quite a drive away from my nearest airport so it’s less stressful with an early flight. But I’m headed to a work conference, wish I was flying back to Universal instead! Been reliving our holiday trip thanks to...

Remy. Beauty and Beast show, Pink Bar, Aqua Duck, Midship Detective Agency.

Was really hoping one of the Alaska cruises would include Hubbard Glacier. Too bad.

I prefer the Poly to the Contemporary and would choose it most times of the year but not summer. There is like zero shade between the longhouses, I’m sweating just thinking about hauling luggage from the main building in the July sun. At the Contemporary you’re straight into the AC and then up...

- Minion Cafe - the cauliflower or the salmon. The drinks will change their tongues colors they’ll love it. Go at dinner when less busy - Mythos - ask for outdoor seating at lunchtime. Kids love the ravioli -Leaky Cauldron and 3 broomsticks same tip about dinner instead of lunch. - Florian...

I’ve only sailed DCL twice, once to Alaska in a concierge 1 bedroom on the Wonder, and once to Castaway Cay/Nassau in a non-concierge family verandah room on the Dream. With the former, I booked as soon as reservations opened, and with the latter, I got the last family verandah room on the ship...

I’m debating booking the bus even though I’m not sure it’s cost or time effective for my family of 4. Are they still themed, with the little cartoons and quizzes? My kiddos miss the Magic Express, so might be worth it for the nostalgia.

Thanks for this report! When are you going in October? We’re on the 4 night leaving October 14, our first time on the Wish.

Yep. My kids love Harry Potter and Mario way more than Mickey. Once kids pass the Mickey's Mouse Clubhouse/Disney Princess age, Disney has less appeal. If it wasn't for Star Wars and to a much lesser degree Guardians of the Galaxy, my kids wouldn't care about returning to WDW at all. I showed my...

Someone sent this to me this morning because they know I'm the designated Disney parks expert in the family. Genie+, LL, and VQ at WDW really is a ridiculously convoluted system. At this point, given the prices they are charging anyway, there should just be a system like what Universal has, but...

We have a DCL sling bag that we used last trip, and I saw several other park goers with the exact same bag. The tallest side is just long enough for a wand or two to fit, and it fits nicely in the lockers. We used lockers for the bag for every HP ride except the train, all the coasters, and MiB...

I'm surprised they're doing another dual launch coaster after the injuries that happened with the last one. I hope they make people go through metal detectors for this one but I could still see things like eyeglasses flying off and injuring people on the other track.

I could understand them not offering Express for the Mario cart ride, same as they don't in California or for Hagrid's in IOA. But I seriously hope they offer Express on the other rides, otherwise it will just be incredibly tediously long days. Yes, I know that sounds spoiled. But I'm willing to...

We did ours at 3:30 and had plenty of time to meet a bunch of characters including pirate Stitch, Mickey and Minnie, Chip and Dale, and Captain Hook and Smee before our main dining reservation. I didn't want to do it so early that their makeup rubbed or washed off before we could get to the...
