Late August/Early September may not be an option for dogsledding on a glacier. Its my understanding that those end (weather) earlier in the season. I may be wrong, but I'd definitely have a backup plan. Actually, I'd have a back-up plan for a helicopter/plane excursion no matter what in case...

1) How many times have you cruised DCL? TWO 2) How many times did you participate in the FE? TWO 3) How did you find out about the FE? Disboards 4) Did you find out about the FE before your first DCL cruise? Yes! 5) Why do you participate in the FE? Fun for my kids 6) Did you make or...

We rented a car and drove to Kennedy Space Center. We had a great time. (The driving was actually quite easy.)

I'm really having a hard time understanding what you need to bring that requires more than one suitcase per person for a 4 night cruise. (Unless you are bringing a baby as they require approx. 500 outfits per day, and diapers, and formula and....) We had 3 suitcases for 4 people for 11 nights...

Never felt the need to secure my stuff. Phone is buried deep in my beach bag. No need for cash on island. FWIW, whenever I go to the beach here I never secure my belongings either. I lock my wallet in the glove box BEFORE I leave, my beach bag really only has my keys and phone. (I'm not too...

I don't know what days you are looking at, but Coastal Helicopter Tours, Temsco and Northstar Helicopters have lots of availibility. Some days/times are sold out, but not all. Alaska Shore Tours/Excursions are just major consolidators. (Its similar to booking through the cruise line.). For...

I just had a flashback to half of my husband's family nearly missing our wedding! They were flying in the day before, planning to arrive in time for the rehearsal dinner. Instead 3 or 4 couples (flying different airlines/airports) all missed the rehearsal dinner and were driving a good way...

Yeah, places like Viator are probably not much better than Disney! They still take a cut from you! They are a good places to nose around see what choices are out there, though. Just look around and book directly. Its really not that hard.

Yes, you should fly in early. It won't take much of a flight delay to miss the ship completely. Weather, obviously is the big one. Not just at your airport, but at the originating airport. Thunderstorms in the summer cause delays just as much as snow in the winter! Mechanical issues are...

I look at teh cruise websites for ideas of what we want to do. If its an established place, you can go directly to their website. (Atlantis in Nassau, we did that for Carambola Beach Club in St. Kitt's.) If its an activity, just google it and see who is offering excursions. Then look at their...

We always to private excursions. We just basically make sure there is enough of a time buffer. For example, if all-aboard is 4:30 and the beach is 30 minutes away, we get picked up around 2:30 or so. In both Alaska and the Caribbean, operators fully understand how cruise ship schedules work...

We went to Carabola Beach Club on St. Kitts. The beach was lovely and it was an easy taxi ride away. We made reservations ahead of time.

On St. Kitt's we took a taxi to Carambola beach club and had a nice day.

Go back to Rome. There is almost certainly something you missed!

We are doing Princess this summer. We are booked into a mini-suite for half hte price of Disney. A little concerned that Princess skews old, but I've heard that lots of families do Alaska because of Glacier bay. They also have park rangers come aboard, etc. Literally half the price of...

Megan's Bay definitely has plenty of beach chairs for rent. You can totally take a taxi there and DIY.

That is true, but... I've seen this proposed for the family that: a. Had their flight cancelled (and didn't have insurance) b. Had a family medical emergency (NOT COVID) and didn't have insurance. You are clearly proposing this as a work-around for people who don't have insurance. None of...

Just that uncomfortable feeling that comes from lying.

We had no problem with mid-afternoon drop in time. (I suspect dinner is busier.)

Like others said, its potty independent, not potty trained. For what its worth, at our child's kindergarten orientation about 10 years ago, the number one thing the teachers stressed for kindergarten readiness was potty independence. Our 3 year old did short stints in the kids club (not potty...
