For me, I'm not a roller coaster fan because I hate the way I get "butterflies" in my stomach on drops. The 1st time I road Goofy's Barnstormer many years ago, I recall going down the 1st drop shouting "T H I S I S W H Y I D O N ' T L I K E R O L L E R C O A S T E R S". However...

If you are staying 'on property', one of the easiest ways out of MK is the bus... because it picks you up right at the gates of MK. I can't tell for sure simply looking at maps, but is also looks like someone can pick you up from the bus area as well... For sure in Google Earth I see what looks...

I'm not sure what might have changed in the last several years... but at least for the 1st decade of DCL existence, the price you paid thru booking with DCL directly was the same as booking thru a travel agent. The only exception to the rule was when companies (like the sponsor of this web...

One of the tricks to packing is to utilize all that cavernous space INSIDE the shoes. If absolutely nothing else, you should be able to stuff your socks inside the shoe, or stuff anything you don't want touching the inside of the shoe inside a sock first. There's all sorts of stuff you might...

If you open a thread, there is a link to "Watch Thread". But is there something you can do to "Ignore Thread" so that it doesn't show in your list of threads when you do things such as click on "New Posts" from the menu?

I would simply either pack a lunch or plan on counter service. Don't remember the name, but it seems like there is counter service in the area of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Star Wars Star Tours (and the Star Wars kids experience) that has be burgers and chicken fingers the kids usually eat.

Having done both Disney World and Disney Cruise before and after children, I can say that I've enjoyed both with and without kids, and without kids, things are simpler.

With the exception of a 4-night cruise, we've always taken advantage of the on-board laundry room. And when we've traveled with kids, we've usually found one suitcase per child to be good enough for the bulk of their cloths, and use their allotted second suitcase for the rest of our stuff. It...

We did one of the two week Panama Canal cruises with a 2-1/2yo in a veranda cabin. Worked great for us and never needed a Pack-N-Play. For various reasons, we had to pull Jr. out of the crib at an early age and let him sleep on a mattress on the floor. Since he was already used to sleeping on...

In the snorkeling lagoon, there shouldn't be any inconsistency. If you enter the lagoon you must have a snorkeling vest. Even if you bring your own snorkeling equipment, you still may not enter the lagoon without a vest, but the vests are available at the lagoon for use free of charge. If you...

I would say go while you can still pick cheaper dates rather than waiting til kids are in school. Many schools today strongly discourage taking kids out of school for a week to go to Disney. So if you wait until kids are in school, you may find yourself having to limit your trip to a time...

It's mostly differences based on the location of the stateroom on the ship. For example, I believe the difference between 6A and 5A is that 6A is on a higher deck than a 5A. The difference in a 6A vs a 6B might be in the style of the veranda (solid railing vs plexiglass).

Can't you cancel up to 30 days in advance without any penalty? Seems like you could also purchase the travel insurance. For course you'd have to review the terms of the policy to determine if the death of this family member is an eligible event for which the insurance kicks in should you be...

OK, I see that now... I've already got a reservation for 5 next year for CBR, and when I tried for fun to add an infant, it wouldn't let me. But I tried changing he dates and now I can (so apparently the dates for which I made a reservation for just one month ago are now booked full).

How did you get 6 people booked into a CBR room? From what I've seen in the past, if a room only sleeps 5, Disney won't let you book the room for 6, even if one of the 6 is an infant.

Loved having a diaper genie that someone else emptied for us. Didn't need a pack-n-play. Our 1yo was able to sleep on the couch/bed just fine, but then we got out of a crib and onto a mattress laying directly on the floor at an early age. If you're bottle feeding, I was a bit turned off by...

While there are openings, the lines you see between the paddle lagoon next to the dock and the family snorkeling area are the nets designed to keep large marine animals from the snorkeling lagoon. The nets should keep out large sharks swim in the area (like the 6' reef shark I saw below while...

It's been many years, but here's a picture of a shark I encountered while snorkeling in Serenity Bay. Look close and you can see his outline at about 9 o'clock on the left edge. Back when I first published this image here in the forum, others that looked at the image suggested it was a reef...

Can't speak to multiples either... but our experience was in taking our 3yo while pregnant with #2, and returning once #2 was born and #1 was 4yo. Our experience the 1st trip was really good. The 3yo seemed to really enjoy it, not many issues. But when we returned and he was now a 4yo, we had...

Where do you find this announcement? If I login to my Disney Visa, I can only find the link for "View Disney Offers" from which I can select "Limited-Time Offers". But I only see things like buying VIP seats to various shows, 20% off at Disney Music Emporium, 15% off at select new Disney...
