    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    So... I have been reading posts here, watching videos, reading blogs... trying to get myself prepared. Our window has opened, so I have booked a few things on port days that we wanted to experience. The whole crew is absolutely pumped and ready to leave. I have another question to toss out to...

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    I am SO very happy I thought to come on here and start this thread. Y'all are answering questions that I didn't even think to ask! Ok... next question. Seeing as I have never been on a cruise of ANY kind, and I have 2 teenagers who are growing more and more independent, is there cellular...

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    Again, thank you SO much for all your responses. Next question: when we are at our Ports (Nassau and Castaway), are there any activities (snorkeling, jet ski, diving, etc) that are INCLUDED in the cost of the cruise? Or is everything (other than laying on the beach) an extra charge?

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    You folks are INCREDIBLE!!! Ok... feel great about my most primary need - food. Next up, entertainment. I have to admit, I have never done the cruise since I am overtly in love with the parks. I know they have the show "Beauty and the Beast" to see, I know one night will be a "Pirates Theme"...

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    Awesome. Thanks, Keith. So dinners will be at assigned times. Will breakfast and lunch be at my own pace, or are those at assigned times, too?

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

PLEASE help! 1st, let's start with my basic ned: FOOD - when we do the DW parks, we have the meal plan. We stop and eat QS whenever we like...

    Trip Report CrazyDisneyLady is at it again live trip report starting Saturday Sept 19th

    Is it odd that a man of his mid-40's tunes in every night to read your report, then sits mistyeyed wishing he was there with his kids? I would give anything to have the money to take my kids to WDW every year. Instead, its more like every 3 or 4 years.... Unfortunately, we went last Spring...

    Dining plan or NO Dining plan ?

    Ok.... here's my 2 cents. We'vve been blessed to able to go to Disney 4 times in 12 years. We have used one of the Dining Plans every single time for one simple reason: convienence. Although a secondary reason would be "planning." I am evidently MUCH too frugal for some folks on here. I spend...

    POLL: Disney My Magic Experience

    We were there end of March-first of April. Absolutely LOVED the My Magic Experience. Had not a SINGLE issue. As an aside, LOVED the Magic Bands, too. So incredibly easy!! Only issue we had was my son's (10 yrs old) finger print not reading. Finally on the second day, they took a picture of him...

    Value Resorts at Disney...

    Hmmm... There is great deal of validity to that... Then why not increase buses? Most providers of a service would not WANT 35%-40% of their consumers ANGRY about their experiences... Get with it Disney.

    Value Resorts at Disney...

    So... I'm chalking this one up to "lesson learned." Been to WDW 6 times, stayed on-site 5 of those 6. However, never at a Value Resort. Don't think I'll do it again. Staying at All Star Music. Nice hotel, wonderful restaurant, great pool. Negatives? Room is very small, but we're hardly in it...

    So.... parking at Downtown Disney..

    LOL No, no, no... you will NEVER see me standing in line to "complain". We parked and I walked over. It was nigt time so it was a little harder to SEE where to turn, where the cast members were standing, etc. Not complaining, just warning anyone else coming in this week or next, be prepared...

    So.... parking at Downtown Disney..

    Alright... after a 9 hour trip that was supposed to take 6 we are at DISNEY WORLD!!! And I thought it would be a good idea to "stop by" DTD. I know, I know... everyone said parking was hectic and crazy. HOWEVER... I would say "chaos" or "non-existing!" They have everyone parking away from DTD...

    A morbid (but serious) funeral question

    He probably Googled "Disney" and "funeral" and got it. I'm thinking a Disney Funeral would be a glorious idea. It would certainly distract the children in attemdance from all the sadness. Heck, you might be on to something....

    how crowded is "really crowded"?

    I will also be there at the end of March leaving on April 1st. We usually do the week after Christmas, so other than it being a little warmer, crowds and waiting is what my family of five expects. The solution? Remember... it's Walt Freakin'DISNEY! BABY!!! Charge your iPads and DS'es, and...

    Curtailing Third Party Resale

    I'm probably missing a bunch of clues in that pic, but what makes you sure he's not an employee? He has a keychain and a radio. Could he be some maintenace guy? Or a delivery person?
