    Edge on castaway after club age changes

    Wanted to give an update in case anyone else searches this in the future. There were organized Edge activities on the island. Just had to ask any youth club counselor for the schedule (we asked at scuttles cove where our 5 year old was) and have the child meet them there. Ex: they were at...

    Small USB Fans Allowed?

    Piggybacking on this question: Do they have to pull these aside for engineering to inspect and we get them back later or do they automatically go through if it’s usb? I’m trying to decide which bag to pack our USB fan and sound machine in

    Edge on castaway after club age changes

    We are cruising with an 11 year old, who now doesn’t have the option to go to club/lab. I have no problem with this and am not looking to debate the age change, but am now wondering what they offer for the Edge kids at Castaway? My husband and I have gone over to serenity bay for a little...

    Favorite cup/ mug for ship?

    We prefer something lightweight with a lid that I can secure on without worrying about spilling. Then I can either clip onto my bag or just drop it in. Nalgene type bottles are great, but anything with a screw on lid works for us. I’m not concerned about keeping ice for days in my water. And...

    Distance from port night before

    I wish we could. That’d definitely be more ideal. But one of my kids has a school event 2 nights before the cruise that he can’t miss and we don’t do well driving late into the night (we are usually all in bed asleep by 9:30pm).

    Distance from port night before

    Thanks! I didn’t see the ring on the map I’d looked at, I think I wasn’t zoomed in enough. That was a map lesson for me too, I didn’t realize the difference between 2 and 3 numbers, now I do!

    Distance from port night before

    We aren’t risking the whole drive. 12+ hours of driving in one day is a lot with 3 kids, especially when I’m the primary driver who will do majority of it. So we were thinking of getting within a few hours of port the night before then driving the rest the morning of. Not a huge chunk, just...

    We do not have a port arrival time yet, we have 97 days before sailing.

    Distance from port night before

    Thanks! Looking closer, I do see that Lake city is not directly on the route. I'm not 100% sure where we are going through yet, was trying to figure out how far from port is a comfortable, safe bet before making that decision. Most likely not Deland, that didn't pull up on the map directions...

    Distance from port night before

    Thats about 3 hours between lake city and port canaveral. Is that enough time morning of cruise to drive in? We’ve never driven so don’t know how many hours we should give ourselves.

    Distance from port night before

    This is our route in. We want to stop somewhere after we exit I-10 in Florida (taking either I-75 or I-95 and getting a room right off the interstate/turnpike/hwy 528). Bonus points for suggestions of what city to stop in 😉

    Distance from port night before

    For driving in the morning of the cruise, how far is too far? What’s your comfort zone as far as distance to drive to port the morning of the cruise? We are driving from Louisiana the day before our cruise out of Port Canaveral. It’s our first time driving instead of flying in. With stops...

    Blankets in gift shop

    I was looking at stateroom gifts and the one with the blanket and pillow caught my eye. I don’t absolutely need/want it set up and ready when we arrive and the pillow doesn’t interest me. I just want a blanket or 2 for a souvenir and for my girls to use at nap time or when lounging around the...

    Gift Card for Fish Extender Gift?

    I would definitely find ways to use a gift card if it’s our FE gift, but wouldn’t be super excited about it. Maybe if you are in an adult only group it’d be different, but if you signed up for cabin gifts and they have children I’d vote no. I have young children and mainly signed up for FE for...

    Less than 6 months on passport

    I’ve already checked the department of state’s travels website for the countries we are visiting. How would I double check with Disney’s guidelines? I didn’t find anything on their site regarding this.

    Less than 6 months on passport

    I did check the department of state website and none of the countries require 6 months. I wanted to be sure DCL itself won’t give me problems.

    Less than 6 months on passport

    We are taking a western Caribbean cruise (Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Mexico, Bahamas). My daughter’s passport expires 4 months after the cruise. We’ve always made sure our passports are valid another 6 months before flying internationally, but have never run into the issue with a cruise. Is it...
