    Single Day Rainforest Pass $ Increased today!

    Not to pile on with everyone else, but just to add, I felt like Rain Forest Room Daily passes was one of the few things that felt like a good deal to me. So many things on DCL seem pricey, but barely worth it. I suppose from a marketing perspective that is the perfect price point. But from a...

    Are there places of worship on the Disney Wonder?

    If she really wants a "mass" with communion, and not just a passenger led prayer service, she might be disappointed, unless, as was said you are going during a big religious holiday. Of course, depending on where the ship is on Sunday, you might be able to find a church as the port you are...

    Embarkation - where do you go?

    We love to "counter program" the crowds as much as possible. So we eat a big (and late) breakfast, so that when we get on board we know we won't be eating lunch until 1:30. At 1:30, Cabanas is EMPTY. So is the sit down. Meanwhile the rooms and hallways are swamped at that time so we avoid...

    Why hasn't Disney solved the main/late dining debacle already?

    Sure. A lot of people want this. But there is also a good reason why cruise lines try not to do this. It is the same as any land restaurant, only much worse. If you show up at 6:45-7:45, along with the lion's share of everyone else, what do you get? Lines. Waiting. Etc. I've been on...

    pin trading

    Understood. I was just informing new people what the rules are, so that hopefully they will expect and uphold these rules themselves.

    How fast do excursions book up?

    The other thing to keep in mind when hunting for "sold out" tickets. The website answers the question you ask. So if you say, "I want 4 tickets", and it only has 3 available, it will tell you that you can't have 4. It will NOT tell you that you could have had three. So it is often helpful...

    Sons best friend, what to do

    I'm not sure it is helpful to continue this, but I do want to make a comment to some of these, "I had/heard of an experience where kids were treated unfairly and it was terrible." I'm sure that is true, and my condolences for your pain. However, in those situations where the parents/guardians...

    Sons best friend, what to do

    I want to echo this in spades! I know that people are just trying to look out for the kids and give helpful advice, but what we have to remember is that whatever OP manages to do about this cruise, they are doing an amazing thing. Something that many of us could never manage to do for three...

    Deck Chair\Lounger Etiquette

    Can we all agree that going to the bathroom or getting something from quick service or heck even swimming in the actual pool is fine? What people are complaining about are the people who get up at 8:00 AM (or whenever) throw a bag of clothes and a book on four lounge chairs and then treat the...

    What time does booking activities online begin?

    You don't need to adjust anything. If it is the part of the year that is in Standard time, then it is 12:00 EST. If it is the part of the year that is in Daylight Time, then it is 12:00 EDT. That is why the previous poster just said 12:00 ET, because it doesn't matter if it is currently...

    Outlook Lounge on Dream

    I've only been in the one on the Fantasy, but I gotta say it was a nice space. High up, so a good view. Open most of the time (toddler time is the thing that closed it the most, which was not often). Think of it like a cruise ship library space. No, they don't put books or games there, but...

    Love bug swarm on the Dream

    Back in the 70s, they seemed to be a lot worse than most years (other than this one) now. I remember most cars having screens on their fronts so that they could keep operating since there were SO MANY it would clog the engines if you didn't have a screen. I'm not a Florida resident though, so...

    Clothing is required in Rainforest Spa on Dream, please!

    At least hot tubs have chlorine. That does have an impact on bacteria.

    Loaner toll road transponders

    This was my experience as well. Not every Rental agency does this, but some do. I have NO PROBLEM calling that gouging. I understand having to pay the rental company a small fee in addition to the actual toll (though really, just paying the toll should be enough), but to have to pay an extra...

    Rainforest day pass...

    The primary reason (other than the scrubs) is that the day passes are usually only available beforehand, whereas the length of cruise pass is generally only available on board. Since you are on the DIS and know your options, you have options. If you were just finding out about the RF room on...

    Ordering off menu at dinner?

    No one wants to make things hard on the crew, but you have to take your cues from them as well. When we cruised, my wife was abstaining from dairy and gluten. It wasn't hard for her to find choices on the regular menu for meals, but when it came to dessert, she was mostly stuck. She was going...

    Dream Rainforest Room

    You can really only be seen by people on the other side of the room. The showers are lined up on each side (three per side, I think). So you can't see people on the same side of the room as you. It's really not a big deal. Of course, if there were a ton of people waiting in the middle of the...

    Oh nooo!! Love Bugs are back.

    If I remember right, it is late August, early September so your friend should be in luck! We always used to go to Florida in late August, which means we were out of luck.

    Second thoughts (I've read too many reviews)

    My attitude, on CC, Trip Adviser, etc. is to look at WHAT they are complaining about. If they are complaining about bugs in the room or mean employees, those are complaints that I care about. If they are complaining instead about a little bit of wear on the carpet or drapes, or that a $100...

    So once I check in online....

    For check-in, they will ask you all those questions (Passport, Credit Card, Flights, etc.) but all of these can be updated later. All you really need is to put in the basic information so that you can get your PAT (Port Arrival Time). So if you don't have access to Passport, just say Birth...
