    Better Late Than Never: 6/11 DCL Alaskan Cruise Trip Report

    After the party, we stayed on deck for awhile to enjoy the scenery sailing out of the harbor. Sailing under the Lions Gate Bridge was quite an experience. We had early seating for dinner, so we went back to our cabin to change. We were in Animator’s Palate the first night...

    Better Late Than Never: 6/11 DCL Alaskan Cruise Trip Report

    Tuesday 6/7: Embarkation Day It was much colder today and overcast. It made us very thankful for the gorgeous day we had yesterday. Since we had only one suitcase and one backpack per person, we were able to easily walk to the port, although we did get rained on! After we boarded, we had...

    Better Late Than Never: 6/11 DCL Alaskan Cruise Trip Report

    At Stanley Park we took a horse drawn carriage ride. Totem Poles in the park: The city was going CRAZY over the Canucks hockey team....someone even put a jersey on this famous statue. After our tour of the park we went to the Vancouver Aquarium. I got faint and thought I was going...

    Better Late Than Never: 6/11 DCL Alaskan Cruise Trip Report

    I meant to write this report over the summer, but life got in the way and I have not found the time until now. Better late than never! I’m going to stick to highlights. The pics are mostly of scenery because my husband prefers not to have his or our kids pics online, and since I am usually...

    Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex?

    My family likes T-Rex better. Part of the reason could be that we've gone to Rainforest so many times both at Disney and in our home state, but I personally like the food at T-Rex better.

    Do the parks before or after the cruise???

    We did the parks first then the cruise. We also spent one more day/night at WDW after the cruise. You have to get off of the ship very early and our flight home would not have been until late afternoon, so we decided it would be less stressful for us to just spend another night at WDW. It...

    Cinderella's Royal Table

    Yes, there will be princesses there at dinner. Since February 2010 dinner is exactly like breakfast and lunch. They did away with the Fairy Godmother and mice. Cinderella greets you in the lobby and there are four princesses (a few weeks ago we had Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and Snow...

    Cinderella's Royal Table

    This is the way it used to be. I don't remember exactly when, but sometime ago (at least a couple of years ago) they changed dinner to be exactly like breakfast and lunch (princesses instead of Fairy Godmother and mice). And Cinderella most definitely is in the lobby for dinner....she was...

    Wilderness Lodge! We took a break from the WL and stayed at the Poly three trips in a row, but then went back to the WL on our last trip and it made us realize how in love with it we are!

    You know that Happy feeling you get...

    Congratulations! :sohappy: I just made my final payment this week as well. It will have been 1 1/2 years since we've been, and our first full week at WDW in three years (our last two trips were just a few days at WDW in addition to either a cruise or beach trip) so I am SOOOO excited!!

    After wishes magic goes away fast

    If we know we want to leave asap after Wishes, then we watch it from Town Square, or at least the front part of Main Street. Problem solved. We beat the herd of people doing it this way every time. Sure, there will still be a bit of a crowd, but it is nowhere near as bad as if you are trying...

    Facebook Newsfeed?

    Facebook is now deciding which posts from pages you've "liked" show up in your newsfeed (why on earth they don't let us choose is beyond me:fork:). The more you interact with a page (by commenting on and "liking" posts), the more updates will show up in your newsfeed. I've tried and tried to...

    Has anyone ever used CARES?

    If the four year old is under 44 pounds, then yes, she can use CARES (it is for children 22-44 pounds). My six year old is very tiny and still uses it....she only weighs about 38 pounds. We've been using it since she was around 2 1/2 years old. Children that are under 44 pounds can slip...

    Can you really bring your dog to a park?

    Yep. I have a friend who moved to Hawaii and did not want his small dog to ride in the baggage compartment for the long flight, so all he had to do was fill out a form saying the dog was a service dog and he was able to take it on the plane with him. :hammer:

    need for anything more than flip flops on Disney Cruise?

    Here is the "dress code" for dining on a DCL ship: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/faqs/onboard-dining/dining-attire/ As you can see, the only place that specifically says "no flip flops" is for Palo (or Remy, depending on which ship she will be on). I have worn "dressy" (leather with...

    Question about a 4 yr old on a cruise...

    I'm probably one of the most overprotective, paranoid parents you will ever meet....and I had no problem leaving my kids in the kid's club on DCL (my youngest had just turned five on our first cruise). There are kids clubs on other cruise lines and at hotels, etc. that I would not let them go...

    best time out of these choices?

    Agreed. Go the first week of June. Crowds start to pick up by the second week and continue to get worse. We were there the first week of June 2010 and it was not bad. After a few days at WDW we went on a 4 day cruise and then came back to WDW and the crowds were soooo much worse than they had...

    Unique items to keep kids busy in lines

    I intentionally never brought anything to keep them busy while in line....I wanted them to learn at a young age that standing in line is part of going to Disney....lol. :ROFLOL: But in all seriousness, I understand it can be difficult for really young ones to wait in long lines. We had a rule...

    Best restaurant for Christmas Eve and/or Christmas

    I second this! The Wilderness Lodge is the most "Christmassy" resort in my opinion, and since the Whispering Canyon has an open wall that overlooks the lobby, you can enjoy the amazing Christmas decorations while you are eating.:xmas:

    Thursday or Saturday? Does it matter?

    I am going to be going to Islands of Adventure sometime during the first week of December. We plan on going for only one day, so I want to make the most of it...which means I'd like to choose the day that would probably have the least crowds. My choice is between a Thursday or a Saturday...
