Thank you for your kind words @monothingie. Kingdom Konsultant Travel Agent Gloria here. Hope you and your families are healthy and staying safe. I can't wait to go on a magical cruise once again when this is over. Stay well!!

You might want to consider one of the tours they offer, like Keys to the Kingdom, a behind the scenes look at the MK and you even get to go into the tunnel below MK.

I agree with two stops at CC and ditch Nassau. As far as aggravating guest, well you'll find them everywhere unfortunately, so you just need to ignore them and just go enjoy your vacation. The fireworks are short, but the fact they even have them is fabulous. Setting them off from a moving...

I'm working on going too. Double dipping on Castaway Cay is going to be awesome, I so love their private island.

In going with the different types of suites you'll need to know what the bedding configuration is because not everyone can fare well on fold out couch or chair type beds.

Staying on property will be less of a hassle with a large travelling group because getting to/from the airport on Disney's Magical Express is free where off property you'd have to rent a car or get a taxi. In addition, getting from off property resorts to the parks their bus service doesn't run...

I have stayed at the YC when they've had conventions and, honestly, they never interfered with our experience. The YC and BC pool is fantastic, like a mini water park which the children will love and we all know the pool is important to them. October is a great time to go because you'll not...

If you were to rent a car to go to the port, you should be aware that some rental car companies will not transport you from the rental car place to the ship until after 10:00am. I heard them telling people this who had arrived at about 9am while I was on line waiting to get our rental car to...

In doing this, you run the risk of a category being sold out and the prices might be higher then.

I have been on both the Dream and the Magic, although not the refurbed version of the Magic, but of the two I think the Dream's adult areas are better by virtue of it being a larger ship. Having dinner at Palo on either of the ships I would highly recommend. Remy is great too.

When you check in for your cruise before boarding they will give you a daily itinerary of what is going on that day which will list all the different events. Since you won't be able to get into your stateroom until about 1-1:30p you should head upstairs and have lunch. Usually by the time...

I have my wristbands for my trip on 8/9 so we'll see how everything works out.

Chris, if you'd like to contact me with your trip information (gloria@kingdomkonsultant.com), I will gladly keep checking to see if anything opens up. As was mentioned, some reservations might cancel opening more spots or Disney themselves could release more rooms to the free dining offer.

If you want to hit any of the big three rides at Epcot and don't mind not seeing the fireworks, I suggest choosing one and getting in line right about 8:50p. We've done this a number of times and the line moves much quicker because once 9p hits there aren't any fastpasses, since the park is...

I happen to prefer the Beach Club over the Boardwalk because at the Beach Club the pool can't be beat and your restaurants and shops are all in the hotel, but that's my personal preference. At the Boardwalk the restaurants and shops are located outside on the boardwalk. What I do like...
