    What to carry?

    I carry a Dyneema sling type bag and carry: -chapstick -small flashlight -bottleopener/ bladeless multitool -sunnies -ArcTeryx Beta SL -foldable cap -reusable water bottle -protein bars & gummi bears Since my bag weighs almost nothing it’s not a hardship to carry my daypack essentials. I dont...

    Ever lost or found anything valuable?

    I would have turned it in anyway. The CM had no way of knowing that it wouldnt/couldnt be returned. I have a hard time believing they would have told you to keep it.

    Alaska-What are your favorite port excursions?

    Btw I want to go back! Maybe June ‘21 will be the year!

    Alaska-What are your favorite port excursions?

    We really enjoyed exploring Vancouver on foot as well as our guided tour that included the Capilano Bridge. Also we liked whale watching in Juneau, our bus expedition to Carcross, the Red Onion Saloon, the Mendenhall glacier, & exploring Ketchikan on foot. Our Eagle expedition in Ketchikan was...

    First cruise experience on the Magic. Report, please?

    I think you meant Rapunzel but either way enjoy your cruise! I dont have one booked for this year and it’s killing me 😂

    First cruise experience on the Magic. Report, please?

    Have you been to Tiana’s Place? It’s much the same tbh but with the Rapunzel make over (obvi). It’s loud, a bit raucous, but well themed and the “other patrons” are a riot. I have a couple pics if you want to see them. I dont want to spoil anything though.

    Alaska cruise, is 3k more worth it for verandah?

    Our room was 2012 for our Alaskan cruise and it was great, but next time we’ll take a verandah room. As others have mentioned, it’s a luxury but when so much is viewable from the ship it seems worth it. Also bring good binoculars!

    Unnecessary harsh treatment of children in public spaces at WDW

    I have to disagree. We made multiple trips when our daughter was 1,2, & 3 and they were totally relaxing. Probably our most memorable trips ever tbh. We changed our day plans to make the trip work including having a plan, parent swaps, naps, and tons of snacks. Point is, it’s very possible and...

    Splash Mountain...don't want to get soaked

    We use souvenir bags on the benches bc they are inevitably wet and muddy.

    Unnecessary harsh treatment of children in public spaces at WDW

    Well, it’s like criticizing someone’s driving when you’ve never driven before. Kids lose their cool, so do parents. No one is immune to losing it, even at the Hallowed Ground known as Disney World. I dont get involved unless it escalates to a physical altercation in which case I would alert...

    Wasted food at Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

    This reminds me of a time we ate at Garden Grill. Great meal but we asked for a couple more slices of turkey and they brought us another entire platter. Character dining, guilt trip included 😂

    Best ride in all of WDW?

    How many of these threads do we need? ....and I guess Haunted Mansion.

    Rain ponchos

    I’m in the no 1 use plastics club as well. We bought good breathable hardshells a while back and they have been a good investment. Roomy enough to fit over a mid layer for our December trips and comfortable for warm weather cruises.

    VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS PARTY

    It’s fun if you’ve never done it but we wont do it again when we visit WDW in November. The wait times can be shorter after the park lets out the general admission but trying to get up Mainstreet at 5 pm was painfully slow. The parade is ok but not as good as the Halloween parade IMO. The treats...

    When did fireworks at sea start?

    Dunno but they sure are great. We counted 5 rival ships in the distance around the Fantasy, so I guess others like it as well.

    Got home from Disney on December 25th 2019 cold/sick/flu

    Like a few others in this thread we are pretty OCD about our hygiene at the parks or on DCL ships. Airborne for a month before hand, lysol wipes in the room (including inside drawers), hand sanitizer, and being careful to sanitize after touching railings and rides. As for airplanes, they...

    Thoughts on The Plaza?

    We ate dinner at the Plaza with low expectations but it was surprisingly good. That being said, the menu has been revamped since we went and it looks like the prices have gone up dramatically. Not sure it’s worth the price now tbh.
