    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    Hi again, everyone! We're going back to Disney! While I am very excited about this, I am also very worried about how much we are going to be able to enjoy our trip. For those of you who don't know, we lost Lily in a car accident in December of 2022. She enjoyed going to Disney with me, but...

    Pearl Island, Bahamas

    Has anyone done the excursion to Pearl Island? I wanted to use my cruise credit money for an excursion to Atlantis, but DCL is not currently doing those, so trying to figure out what else to do in Nassau with some of our credit. Thanks!

    Hi, all! It took me much longer to get this started than I wanted, but my computer decided it didn't have room for any more of my photos and I had to get an external hard drive and transfer some in order to start! We've also been a little busy getting everything ready for Logan to leave for...

    Talk to me about Miami

    We were scheduled on the 5 day Castaway Cay double dip on the Fantasy next month, which has obviously been cancelled. We are now scheduled on the Dream next June, but it sails out of Miami instead of Port Canaveral. Hit me with all of the must see/do things in or near Miami for before and/or...

    Hello! We are scheduled to be on the Fantasy next July if everything is back to normal. We plan to visit Kennedy Space Center the day before our cruise. There are 5 of us, so was just looking for recommendations for a decent place to stay. I have researched some and see that most are a...

    Talk to me about renting DVC points vs paying for a regular room

    Specifically Wilderness Lodge, but in general too. I know you do not get Mousekeeping every day, but we would be ok with that. How many towels would be in a studio? Are the toiletries in the rooms the same? Is there a major difference in the views from the rooms? Is there a difference...

    Dolphin interaction

    When my husband and I went to SeaWorld in 1998 for our honeymoon, we were able to feed and touch the dolphins. Are you still able to do that without paying extra? The website makes it seem like you have to pay $15 to be able to do this at Dolphin Cove. Thanks!

    Bags on rides

    Is SeaWorld more like Universal or Disney when it comes to taking bags on rides? I will likely just have my little crossbody bag that day, but will I need to store it for the coasters?

    Autographs

    Is it a big thing at Universal like it is at Disney for the kids to get autographs? Or is it more just photo ops? I just don't want to lug around autograph books if they don't sign, but don't want to be without if they do sign. Thanks!
