    Goodbye WDW, Hello DCL

    You are all my people! I mentioned this in another thread, but my wife and I were long term Disney Worlders (we actually met doing the College Program...totally different states and colleges coming together to find true love. We joke that Walt was the Fairy Godfather sprinkling our...

    Favorite area on a DCL ship

    Deck 4 on sea days, on the non-sunny side (me and the sun are not good friends, and I can burn even with clouds, so I try to stay in shade). Add a Superman comic, my iPod playing Coldplay, and a nice breeze and I am in 7th heaven.

    How can people justify going often?

    My wife and I were actually starting to get to the point of feeling like we were going too much. And as the years went by, we had less and less stamina for the go-go-go. We switched to the Disney Cruises, and they have just been like heaven. All the magic of Disney with SO much more...

    Would you go out of your way to eat a CS meal at a Resort?

    Roaring Forks is awesome. We stayed at WL last November and went there a couple times. They have great breakfast and lunch options, and it doesn't have the same mass produced feel you get from QS in the parks sometimes.

    How are the lines to meet Anna on Fantasy?

    She's got a great costume too...they did an amazing job of translating the animated costume into the real world. The detailing on her boots, for instance, is spectacular.

    How are the lines to meet Anna on Fantasy?

    In the Atrium, near Royal Court. They have a Frozen backdrop they set up there.

    How are the lines to meet Anna on Fantasy?

    All depends on when she's around. We had the late seating the week of Jan. 11, and Wednesday night came out of dinner at about 9:30 right as she came out for photos, and there were only two families in line before us. Generally if she's around in the evening, that's your best bet. Also, she's...

    Which Broadway-style show is best?

    They really are just the best...I don't know how Disney finds them all. My wife and I both do theater, so any time we get a chance to chat with some of the DCL performers we always geek out. Shame we're a little too old to audition ourselves...although the guy who was Friends With Jafar was...

    Which movies are playing on Fantasy now?

    Frozen is honestly one of those movies where you hear how much all your friends love it, and how it's the awesomest thing in forever, so you're a little leery when you see it...and then it still ends up being better then even everyone said it would be. Saw it two and a half times on our last...

    Which Broadway-style show is best?

    Wishes, Believe, and Aladdin on the Fantasy are all incredible. Wishes especially, and I'm not just saying that because I was on the Fantasy two weeks ago and met the 3 leads and they were super-duper awesome and friendly and magical.

    Magic Band and parking

    I don't know that that's true. I was just there last week, and they still give you the paper for your dashboard when you check in (we stayed at Wilderness Lodge)...so I imagine if you flashed your band but didn't have the paper on your dash, they wouldn't wave you through. Also, as the above...

    what are the best parks at night

    Easily one of the greatest times I've ever had in WDW is one night at Magic Kingdom where my wife and I were the only two people on a Jungle Cruise boat. We cracked up at all the corny jokes and silly puns, and it was just the best thing ever. Kudos to the skipper, because even with a smaller...

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    I'll keep that advice in mind...thanks. Here's a question for more knowledgable folks...this probably shows what a novice I am to cruising, but what does the Cruise Director actually do? Like, day to day, besides making announcements and appearing before the show?

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    Jealousy achievement unlocked! That's incredible! I'll have to ask on arrival for our 7 night Fantasy if there's anything similar.

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    It was a total geek moment for me, to get to talk to a someone in a more casual setting, about what the contracts are like, what it's like to perform on a ship that's moving and sometimes shaking. I would love a Keys to the Kingdom style tour to come to the ships, to get a look behind the...

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    And man does a good Ensign Benson make or break "Golden Mickey's". The first one I saw totally sold the part, to the point where at the start of the show I believed she was an actual crewmember. The second one, though, seemed much more actressy, and so she wasn't as good. If we're talking...

    Who's the Cruise Director on the Dream?

    I think the Cruise Directors are part of what makes the Disney cruises so much fun. I mean, I'm sure Carnival and the rest have them too, but the ones on the Disney ships just seem to have so much personality (like Christian, who we had on the Dream this past January...his pre-show banter was...

    WDW before or after cruise?

    I was just going to comment exactly the same thing! After our first cruise, my wife and I did 2 days in WDW. We did dinner the first night at Rose & Crown and when the bill came, our eyes popped! Of course, if you were getting a full bill for everything you'd put away at Lumiere's, it would...

    Watching cruise line special...

    You have NO idea how jealous I am of you! The 14 day Transatlantic is on my bucket list for sure. What were the days like crossing the Atlantic...like, did the water seem different then it feels when you're cruising between islands on a regular cruise?

    Watching cruise line special...

    We're really looking forward to the Fantasy...we're a childless (for now) couple, and the nighttime district on the Fantasy sounds a little more enticing to us then the one on the Dream. And we're really excited to do a full 7 nights. What we'd really love is if they revisit the New York to...
