    APH Rates Are Currently Available... [UPDATED 07/27/18]

    Checking daily really does pay off! We upgraded to seasonal passes during our trip in June and have decided to visit Nov 17-21 in order to see everything Christmas. In an effort to save money we will stay offsite this trip. With increasing crowds leading closer to Thanksgiving the idea of a...

    'Like, Father' on Netflix - filmed on Harmony of the Seas

    Double check my information- but I am pretty sure I saw a Hallmark commercial for this same movie premiering this weekend. Maybe you can catch it there. Edited to add- I just found my information was incorrect. The Hallmark movie is different from the Netflix movie. Both were filmed on HotS...

    Adventure of the Seas Panoramic Ocean View Rooms

    I have one of these rooms booked for our Southern on FotS in June. We lucked out and got room 1864 that is a corner room and has 5 of the windows instead of just 2. Same price as the normal room layout so it was an easy choice. On Disney we normally have a oceanview on deck 2 with the large...

    VooDoo Donuts - City Walk parking?

    This was my initial plan in early June. By the time we got in the garage at 6 and made our way to Voodoo the wait was more than 45 minutes. Checked back before leaving CW and it was more than 1.5 hours. Made the decision for my husband to drop off me and the 10 year old the next morning. Began...

    Motion sickness and universal

    No information on where you can buy it but wanted to chime in as a motion sickness sufferer. I take full formula (the drowsy kind) of Dramamine and other than the first day I have no sleep side effects from it. On cruises I have no issues (other than once going in to Cozumel where there was a...

    Besides going to the parks?

    We started our trip last week with a day at Kennedy. It was AMAZING! We spent over 6 hours there then took a quick trip down to Cape Canaveral to walk on the beach and see the ships leaving port. One tip for Kennedy- head straight for the bus tour when you arrive. The park opens at 9 and the...

    Looking for current info on refillable mugs

    I was in the parks last week and the cup we bought at IOA was able to be reactivated at VB on our 2nd day. I will say that I liked the look of the cups from VB more than the ones from the other 2 parks.

    Ticket vs. annual pass... seems too good to be true

    Yes you can. I asked the same question last week at GS inside the park when I was upgrading my tickets to Seasonal Passes. It was free for us to upgrade to the lowest level AP but we might head back down next year for Spring Break which would be a blackout period. They said we can upgrade at any...

    Express Pass Unlimited... Harry Potter first or do rides in order?

    There were lots of times that it didn't have fire but the growling was still on the 10s.

    Anxious about Gringotts? Try it!!!

    just returned home from our first trip and we LOVED Gringotts. We rode 4 or 5 times over 4 days. The best ride was in the back row of the 2nd car. Made the drop much farther and faster!!

    VOLCANO BAY.....INFO AND QUESTION THREAD........

    I was at VB last Monday (June 11th). We stayed at RPR and were waiting at the bus stop at 7:25. Got on a bus at 7:30 and had to pick up at SF before heading to VB. We were standing in line at the entrance by 7:45. I have a KYSS bag so no need for a locker so we headed straight for the chairs to...

    Rate decrease after booking

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I was ready to post this exact thing but you beat me to it. Very hard to track prices when you aren't looking at a specific category room but just a broad room type.

    CARNIVAL VS DCL: The discussion and comparison thread!

    I am still in early stages of research for Royal but from what I can tell there is not enough extras to jump to the cost level of DCL. There are more restaurants for a cost but you don't have to eat in those. You do pay for sodas but it isn't that much for a length of cruise package. You are...

    CARNIVAL VS DCL: The discussion and comparison thread!

    On my cruise (June 9, 2019) my Ocean View Panoramic is $2,964 for 2 adults and 1 child (age 11). I just priced the lowest category balcony and it is $3,500. The OV Pano is also not the most expensive in the OV category. There are still spacious family OV rooms that are more expensive. No...

    CARNIVAL VS DCL: The discussion and comparison thread!

    We are making the jump to RCCL for a Southern Cruise on Freedom of the Seas in June 2019. I was able to book my family of 3 in an Oceanview Panoramic room and just happened to get the corner room that has 5 windows instead of the normal 2 and has over 280 sq ft. I am not sure I will be able to...

    Princess Gathering AND Royal Court Tea?

    On our Fantasy cruise in 2015 we had booked the tea for my daughter (7) and niece (8). The tea was on day 6 of the cruise and we had already met the Princesses MANY times. On the morning of day 5 we were hanging out in the Atrium as the Princess Gathering was ending and managed to catch each...
