    Flight time advice from MCO

    We flew home last week, and we were not on a tight schedule... but I just wanted to share that the security checkpoint at MCO was the worst I have seen, and I fly several times per year. The line was insanely long (this was at 6 AM) and I found out why when we got up there. They were making...

    How formal is formal?

    I like dressing up, and wanted some great family photos of us all. For formal night, I wore a floor length black dress with beading, my husband wore suit & tie, my son wore slacks, tie & vest (no jacket), and my daughter wore a dressy dress. For semi-formal, my husband and son wore button down...

    Beer Mug Question

    We just got off the Fantasy on Saturday, and the beer mug still looks like this. If you get it by the pools, they give you a blue plastic one instead, but you can swap it out at any of the other bars for the glass one.

    What are the chances?

    I was just on the Oct 14th Fantasy cruise and when we booked at 75 days out, the princess and Frozen M&G were already sold out. I kept checking back but no luck. They cut off activity changes 3 days before the cruise, which was Oct 11th for us. The day before that, on Oct 10th, suddenly there...

    Disney Fantasy Cruise Port Excursions

    We just got off the Fantasy Saturday on this itinerary... my kids are younger (9 & 4) and not great swimmers so we did beach days instead of more active adventures. At Cozumel we went to Nachi Cocum. Reserved ahead of time directly with them, and then an easy cab ride to get there. It was...

    Halloween Bags Needed for Trick-or-Treat?

    We are attending MNSSHP at Magic Kingdom the night before we board our HOTHS cruise, and I bought one of those cheap drawstring backpacks for each of the kids. I figure it will hold more than the bags they give away (I heard they are small), and it will be easy to pack/carry.

    Online Check In Qs

    I don't know if it is always like this or just the night I booked... but the link to book activities was available right at midnight EST, but the link to do online checkin wasn't available until about 10 minutes later. And as previously mentioned, you can put in minimal info just to get through...

    Help me with onboard booking order, please!?

    We recently had our 75 day booking window for our upcoming cruise. If you are already silver, you will probably have better luck. I was online right at midnight EST. For the onboard activities, I was able to get in right away. The online checkin for PAT was about 10-15 minutes later before...

    What to bring back for Show & Tell?

    This is great to know! Where exactly did you go to get it when you got off the ship?

    What to bring back for Show & Tell?

    You are entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. Some of these kids have no idea that a whole world exists beyond our small town. If we can show them even a small piece of it, I think that is valuable to their education.

    What to bring back for Show & Tell?

    You guys are so full of awesome ideas, I love it!! :disrocks: I know, right? This idea was making me nervous, but from what I have heard, it's pretty difficult to get stamps anyway. So this is pretty much off the table. I LOVE this idea!! I sent the notes to them this morning (2 week notice)...

    Registering for Excursions and Dinner seating

    We are just almost at 2 weeks to sailing, and still on waitlist for first seating, and still no openings for Princess Gathering or Frozen M&G. But I will be trying for these as soon as we board. I'll let you know how it goes!

    What to bring back for Show & Tell?

    We'll be on the Fantasy for a Western Caribbean itinerary Oct 14th, and my kids will be missing just a couple days of school, since that coincides with their fall break. To make up for that, I have told their teachers that they will do presentations or do a show & tell when we get back about...

    Pillow Menu

    Makes sense, and I'll definitely be packing my own pillow now. I'll need it for my pre- & post- cruise hotel stays anyway. But it was a nice, fleeting thought that I might not have to pack it, LOL! ::yes::

    Pillow Menu

    So I'm guessing only concierge gets the pillow menu? Are contoured memory foam pillows available to non-concierge cruisers? That could save me some packing space if I don't have to bring my own.

    Registering for Excursions and Dinner seating

    We booked in February (non-concierge) for our upcoming October cruise - 2nd seating was all that was available and we are still on the waitlist for first seating. When our 75 day booking window opened, I was online right at midnight EST and excursions were readily available, but Princess and...

    Packing for the cruise

    I'm an overpacker by nature and definitely fall into the "I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" group. But for our upcoming cruise, I'm really trying to pack mostly dresses than can double as swim coverups and still nice enough to wear to dinner. And just a couple...
