    Tips/tricks for cruising with toddler/baby

    You'll need more diapers than you think. We monitored our daily usage prior to the cruise, and even tossed in extra. Not sure if it was the food, the fun, or the rocking, but we had used all of ours by day 3. We stopped at a local convenience store in port to get more, cheaper than on board. I...

    Why did Disney Destroy the Magic & Wonder?

    I find it difficult to grasp that the reason someone wouldn't sail on a ship is a lack of a second staircase in the atrium. The magic and wonder have an additional staircase right around the corner to the aft. It's quite nice actually. We just spent 14 nights in a row on the Magic and wouldn't...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    Hey friends; long long time since I checked in. The 101 Dalmatians finally broke me. Despite using gems on all of the premium attractions and characters, plus purchasing tokens for one hard to drop puppy I was unable to complete the event by obtaining Cruella. This was one of my criteria for...

    Honeymoon Cruise Stories

    The fact that most cruises are like a 1:1 passenger ratio means you'll have a great trip. You'll have the opportunity to get many photos without anyone else in them. If you have it marked on your reservation, you'll get a special dessert plate at least at Palo if you dine there.

    Place Holder Question

    I thought I read that if you just completed your first cruise you could rebook another to be completed in like 11 months. A special welcome to silver castaway club status. I can't find an article about it however, so I might have been dreaming.

    Bedtime snacks?

    Used to be on the dream and fantasy that the adult district would have a mini-buffet of appetizers, sweets, and tapas type of foods. Not sure if it exists currently.

    Leaving a minor on board?

    Link your reservations to theirs. Give DCL the authorized sheet to allow them to disembark with her if necessary. Luckily Key West is an American Port and you should easily be reachable by cell phone, but in my opinion always be prepared.

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    For the first Frozen Event it was Elsa for me, her drops were terrible. As a result it was my only DNF event as I never got Hans and he remains forever in the shadowland. Duh, leveling is to make money. Take a chance on some chests or buy this $4 bundle. Come on, you know you want to...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    Still 2 relics short of upgrading the cruella car. This is reminiscent of the Elsa drops from that event - beyond horrible. I have 8 of 15 ear hats. However that plush dog token.... 32. Really a shame. This might be the event that breaks me.

    EBPC is a GO, no under 12s

    Disappointing for sure for anyone unable to meet the requirements because of the under 12s. Hopefully an approval will come out for the younger groups 3+ ages soon. That would help people next year. What surprises me is that Disney wanted to salvage the West Coast at all this year. A small...

    Where's the Wonder Nov-Dec 2022?

    I believe it was 2016 dry dock when the ducktail was added to the Wonder. It is correct that it could not travel the old locks with the modification, but it can now. I don't know the technical rational for not including the aquadunk but it might be a combination of things. It didn't test well on...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    You are totally in the right section to ask questions. Any attraction that does not given tokens is a good candidate. Some attractions like astro orbiter is an attraction that kids wish for, so you have to keep that one as well. Anything really big is another good candidate for removal. This...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    200 Gems for Penny the pup. SHe needs to be at level 2 to be useful. Very few tasks that don't involve Pongo 1hs task. But don't worry because after his 2 1hr tasks, you build a 500 EC house attraction which takes 6 hours. I suspect that after the house you wait until more characters unlock...

    Rebook now or later ?

    If you were on the Magic or Wonder I would consider waiting for FCC since neither vessel is currently approved for US sailings. But since you want to go from Fantasy to Dream I would consider making the switch now if you don't think the Fantasy will work with your flight schedule. The...

    Anyone done back to back on Dream since restart?

    Two hours isn't bad at all. I find that to be on the low end of B2B and we have done a few.

    Reusable Straws

    I took a silicone straw and cut off the ends and attached to my metal straw. This way it doesn't make a noise in my metal cup and it is a joy to have in my mouth. The metal ones are super easy to clean and I don't drink when I walk, so I don't think I'll sustain any injuries.

    B2B Embarkation Covid Testing

    This change to do another round of testing for unvaccinated persons would be somewhat inline with the new 5 night disembarking testing requirements they also rolled out.

    Excursion cost?

    Tortola is a BVI. They require testing in advance for all persons no longer than 5 days prior to arrival. Right now that would be an issue for some people. It's 3 days (Embarkation, 2 sea days) until tortola. Some people travelling for the cruise might need additional port day testing to be in...

    Disney Magic Kingdoms

    This tower challenge is the pits. People are complaining about the inflated costs of Gord, the inability to use previously collected tokens to purchase him, to the fact that there isn't anything for anyone who already has everything. I'm sure this is nice for people who are missing a few...

    B2B and Parking at terminal

    Good to know about the change. It used to be that you paid on the way in. They didn't monitor how long your car was parked there, so you could park for back to back no issues. But if you pay upon exit, they will most certainly see that your ticket is a bit longer than most other people.
