    Travel Agent Questions

    Thank you, I was stressing trying to figure out a booking! This is exactly what I plan to do. Thank you for breaking down the discounts, it really is a significant savings. I didn't realize that I might be able to cash out the Costco cash card. I just did that with my Costco Visa Rewards...

    tips on time change?

    I've traveled overseas quite a bit, and rarely get any sleep on the plane. I agree with the above advice - any sleep on the plane is beneficial, and try not to stress out too much if you (or your kids!) aren't falling sleep. Adjust your expectations, if you don't expect to sleep and you get a...

    Travel Agent Questions

    To transfer a placeholder, must the specific voyage be booked within the 30 day window to preserve the 10% and OBC, or just request the transfer within 30 days?

    Considering a RCCL cruise, advice please

    I’ve sailed RCCL several times pre-kids, and just got off our 1st family DCL voyage. We enjoy Disney but aren’t real Disney FANS. I was impressed with how thoughtfully DCL has designed for kids & families. My sense is that kids are truly priority #1 on DCL, while also providing lovely amenities...

    20 Random Thoughts from Recent Fantasy Trip

    I was also on this 3/9-3/16 sailing. This was our 1st DCL sailing, though we’ve sailed Princess & RCCL previously. My own random thoughts... Though probably in the minority, I was hoping for pump bottles & body wash & disappointed in no body wash or lotion. Our terrific Host did track down 2...

    Bikes for children on Castaway Cay

    Re. Helmets - to clarify, it is Disney’s policy that children must wear helmets, but adults are not required to do so. They do have adult size helmets and there were plenty available in small, medium and large sizes. No need to pack helmets if you plan to rent bikes! I also strongly encourage...

    Bikes for children on Castaway Cay

    They also have helmets in assorted sizes. Children are required to wear helmets, but it is optional for adults. They had a few different sizes with training wheels. My son just turned 5 and is a few inches shorter than your DD. He rode the training wheel bike with ease, and the seat was adjustable.

    Eye Glasses from Sam's Club or Costco?

    Thanks, I didn’t know about this! I’ve been going to Costco optical for years and been very happy with the in house Optometrist & several pairs of glasses. I usually shop around & order contacts elsewhere for better pricing with cash back options and sometimes coupons/rebates. The $25 fee for...

    Walking shoe

    I too swear by Vionics. The built in orthotics are great if you have high arches or prefer shoes with good arch support. Skechers memory foam are nice and cushy, but don't have enough support for me. I have Vionic flip flops, sandals and sneakers. For a day at Disney it is sneakers hands down. I...

    Can you help clarify - Port Arrival Time with Hyatt MCO booked on own vs disney

    I originally checked in with private transportation and was assigned a 12:30 PAT. When I changed the reservation to add DCL transfers from MCO, my check in information was automatically updated to: "You have purchased transportation through Disney Cruise Line and are not required to select a...

    Skyline drink card, how does it work?

    Thanks for this thread, I didn’t know about this and will definitely check it out on our upcoming trip! Years ago I bought a similar drink card for specialty coffees on a RCCL cruise. It was a pre-paid punch card for something 10 coffees for the price of 9. If you didn’t use all of them they...

    We booked a VGT a couple of weeks ago for the March 9th sailing, myself DH & 5 yo DS, coming from Baltimore, MD. We've cruised before but this is our first Disney Cruise and we are so excited! Has anyone with a *GT received cabin assignment yet? (I can't stop obsessively check the website...). I...

    I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

    I've been there, its not fun. I was rear ended and sustained injuries that required months of physical therapy. By state law my own insurance had to pay up to a certain amount (maybe $2500) so I had to go through them. But they of course filed against the other insurance company, which then...

    1 day Rainforest x 7 cheaper than week pass?

    I read in a blog post that the purchase price of daily vouchers could be applied to a weekly pass on ship, will try to to confirm this. We would definitely purchase the couples pass, so I think that is the way to go! :thanks:We are taking Disney Transport to PC & hopefully can get on pretty...
