    Trip Report Quick Birthday Trip, but in style-Grand Floridian!

    So we went to the monorail and took the resort monorail to the ticket and transportation center, then rushed to get on the monorail to Epcot. This whole process took about 40 minutes and the end of our fast pass window was looming closer. But we made it in the park with 15 minutes to walk to...

    Trip Report Quick Birthday Trip, but in style-Grand Floridian!

    So the alarm went off at 5:45 am and my husband, myself, and my daughter were out the hotel room door by 6:20am. I admitted then that I went a little overboard on the alarm. Could definitely have slept till 6/6:15. We're pretty quick at getting ready. We went down to Gasperilla, the quick...

    Trip Report Quick Birthday Trip, but in style-Grand Floridian!

    As a place holder, I will use standard photos of the Grand Floridian (better than my sorry I-phone photos anyways): I loved the smell!!!!!!!!! So elegant! Our room was in the building on the back left. It's not like Riverside, this is a less than 5 minute walk from the main building...

    Trip Report Quick Birthday Trip, but in style-Grand Floridian!

    So I arranged with my boss to work through lunch and leave at 4pm on Friday. We were on the road by 4:30 pm and drove up the center of the state in the back roads (this is really only 5 minutes savings from taking I-75 and I-4, maybe less, but my husband enjoys the drive better). We stopped at...

    Trip Report Quick Birthday Trip, but in style-Grand Floridian!

    August 18-20, 2017. First, a little background. We live in Marco Island, FL, about 4 hours south and west of Disney World by car. We just returned from our amazing, magical 12 day Disney Cruise through the British Isles near the end of July. Our plan was to get annual seasonal passes again...

    Trip Report -12 day British Isles Cruise on the Disney Magic-June 9-June 21, 2017

    Day 3 on Cruise-Stonehenge (Portland, England) So we woke up still a little wore out from the day before, but we knew we had a shorter shore excursion this morning, even though it started bright and early again at 7:15am! (The good thing is, we got an extra hour of sleep due to the time...

    Trip Report -12 day British Isles Cruise on the Disney Magic-June 9-June 21, 2017

    Day 2 on the Cruise-Le Havre (Disneyland Paris) So we have never been to Paris and I've always wanted to go, but Le Havre is 3 hours (minimum, as we would find out) from Paris and the shore excursions to the city itself seemed rushed. Also, when deciding what to do, I considered my 8 year old...

    Pre-Cruise-Day 2 in London After a nice long sleep we woke up a little later than anticipated at 8:30am! But we felt good and on the right time! We had free breakfast at our hotel (a pretty big breakfast buffet, which was good!)! Then we set out towards the Tower of London. The streets...

    Trip Report -12 day British Isles Cruise on the Disney Magic-June 9-June 21, 2017

    I just returned from our amazing 12 day British Isles Cruise on the Disney Magic! I figured I would try my hand at a trip report since I didn't see many on here for cruises prior to my trip. It will take me a few days to get through. The players are myself (Jen), my husband (Derek), and our...

    One day cruise excursion in Disneyland Paris/Walt Disney Studios

    Thanks for the info! Hmmmm.... I'll have to talk to my daughter and see what she wants to do. She watches the ride videos on you tube and said that she thought it was a 2 seater so she was willing to go on, but I don't want to scare her too much.

    One day cruise excursion in Disneyland Paris/Walt Disney Studios

    Thank you so much! I will definitely fast pass Big Thunder as soon as I get in Disneyland. Sounds like it shouldn't be missed! On Hyperspace Mountain, do you know if people sit next to each other, or behind each other like in Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom. My daughter actually likes roller...

    One day cruise excursion in Disneyland Paris/Walt Disney Studios

    Thank you so much for your input! I think as soon as I get in Disneyland Paris, I will get a fast pass for BTMRR. My daughter loves that ride at Magic Kingdom, so sounds like we should definitely do it! Good advice about reading the Phantom Manor synopsis ahead of time!

    I'm going on the British Isles Cruise on the Disney Magic. Our first stop in Le Havre, France, where we have picked the excursion for Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios. I live in Florida, about 4 hours south of Walt Disney World, so I have been to Disney World many times a year and feel...

    Question For Experts and Med Cruisers

    On our Norwegian Fjord cruise, they did a Frozen party and made it "snow"! It was very cool - literally (it was a very cold night) and "cool" in that it was really fun! But I have never been on one with the Pirates night for comparison as that was my first DCL cruise. Note that I assumed...

    Tipping on European cruises

    I did the Norwegian Fjord cruise and ordered Danish krones (for Copenhagen) and Norweigian krones (for Norway) ahead of my cruise from my local bank. I don't know where the exchange rate is best, I just always feel better going to a country with their currency in my pocket. I used it for tips...
