    Sudden Illness and upcoming trip

    My 11 year old was just diagnosed with Lyme. He has had good days and not so good days. We are heading to Universal at the end of the week. I suspect I had better have a wheelchair for him along with some reasonable expectations. How do I go about finding a small wheelchair to rent at the...

    Oasis of the Seas : Paying For Stuff With Cash

    We have had issues with the sea pass card and ROYAL. First, you can not "not allow charging" on a minors card online or at checkin. You must do it in person at the guest service desk (which means you have to wait in line). Then, there is NO way to disable the charging ability for the arcade...

    Please explain sleeping situation for family of 4

    On the Oasis class ships, the ocean view rooms and many of the interior rooms have the sofa and a pullman. The balcony rooms have the double sofa. I was stunned that our room for 4 on Harmony only had THREE beds. We have been on every major line and NEVER had this issue before. We are...

    Crowd Question

    If you are staying at one of the "official seaworld hotels" that will change my answer. Generally my answer will be do Aquatica for the first 3 hours of the day and then do the rest of the day at Seaworld

    Wait..I need to bring that too??????

    We don't do cruise line excursions. It is a VERY small risk, but should you not make it back to the boat, having your passport make life a little easier. Honestly you NEVER know what is going to happen when you leave the ship. (injury, accident, illness, arrest...) The ID suggestion is less...

    Cruise reservation cancelled - need advice

    Alaska is the one place I would not take 2 insides, period. You need at least a window. If your TA can not get you that, I would be inclined to insist she refund your airfare, or at least cover the change fee, and book it again for the next summer. The views are stunning and you don't want to...

    Please Help Me! To date, we are the anti-Harry Potter family!

    had I not the books first, I would not have been able to follow the movies. There's just too much left out. However, the audio readings by Jim Dale, are fantastic! I did not think I would love the books. But I really do. Overdrive from your library should have them available, and they are well...

    Help me give my husband a crash course in HP :)

    The audio books read by Jim Dale are AMAZING. I would have him listen to the first book in the car. The books are so much easier to follow than the movies. You can get the audio books at your local library through Overdrive.

    SeaWorld FL and Super Grover passes

    They are, but technically you have to activate you card at your home park first. I know others have had success, but it may be a problem.

    Terrified of tired kids and being miserable (all of us)

    When they were young, generally touring until 5 or so and then getting take out dinner on the way home was the key. We did not do many sit down dinners after a long day. I also agree with the above, keeping ahead of the hungry is the absolute key. When they are ready for lunch you can not be...

    Oasis of the Seas HELP

    I know this is a little late and you are likely gone already but I would stay on the empty ship in Nausea. I would take a cab to Paradise Beach in Cozumel and I would do the water park in Costa Maya. We spent 4 days in Cozumel during the Hurricane and Paradise Beach is a GREAT deal for a sea...

    I want to do it, but....

    I have a few thoughts. We have done both DCL and RCI. We have also done a few trips with NCL. RCI was the only one that made disabling my kids charge privileges tough. Like you can't do it online and you can't do it at check in. You must go stand in the REALLY long line at guest services...

    Don't forget to do this when planning your trip....

    About 60 days before your trip consider your children and what they are like, when hot, when frustrated, and with noise. ESPECIALLY with noise. It never dawned on me how many attractions feature darkness and thunder, until I was there with my 3 year old and he was a mess. If dark and loud is...

    Creating a quiet sleep space for toddler in hotel room?

    What my kids were that age. They slept in a tent. Small play when you could even pitch on the second bed. He might be able to get one large enough to put a pack and play in. But at Young 3 the pack and play maybe too small. And you may be having to explore other options anyway. I will also say...

    Do I need the plastic card ticket if I have magic bands?

    It is smart to have both. It doesn't happen often but if that magic band falls off unnoticed. You'll be really happy to have that plastic card in your purse is you run between your Fastpass attractions.

    They have a handle and I have clipped it by the handle to my purse or pack a few times.
