    Disney cruise line Bus

    We're cruising on the Wish next week, and we booked the DCL shuttle to the port the same day we booked our cruise, which was 9/05/22. Not sure why the cast member would say it's too soon. I did book through a Disney TA, so maybe it depends on who you booked through?

    Reserving a table for two at Homecomin'

    It's just DH and I, like you, we enjoy trying new spots as well, so we've decided to keep the Biergarten reservation. We're staying at the Boardwalk Inn, so the plan is early dinner (4:40pm) at Biergarten, take the monorail to the TTC, then either the monorail or boat to MK for the night, and...

    Reserving a table for two at Homecomin'

    Thanks for the heads up on booking Homecomin' for 4 and modifying to 2! I have been trying for a reservation for 2 since our booking window opened on July 7!! I was able to book Homecomin' using this 'trick', and Steakhouse 71 now shows up when booking for 4 as well. I did end up booking...

    Drinking straws

    I believe the straws were in wrappers and marked 'Agave - composable', but when in doubt, ask. They can also be made with sugar cane fibers and corn husk fibers.

    Drinking straws

    Amazon also carries compostable straws made from sugar cane fibres and some from corn fibres. Our preferred is the agave type, but lots of different types and sizes came up when I searched for them.

    Drinking straws

    Can't stand paper straws. In 2020, we ate at Homecomin' in Disney Springs for the first time. When we ordered drinks, we were surprised they came with 'plastic' straws. We were even MORE surprised to find out they were made from agave fibers and composable. We love them - they feel like...

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    We’re also booked on the Inn side the first week of September. We haven’t received any offers to move, but it would definitely be a tough decision to make.

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    I'm curious - we're booked for a garden view room in September, but now I'm thinking we should have booked CL. Are we able to upgrade at check-in (subject to availability of course), or do we have to make a decision prior to arrival? Thanks!

    Sunshine Flyer or Mears Connect?

    A blogger that I watch had been using Mears since the Magical Express stopped running. He was having pretty good experiences until last October when the Mears bus sat at MCO for over two hours, and finally getting them to their resort over three hours from when they landed… not fun. I think...

    Sunshine Flyer or Mears Connect?

    Thanks Duck! My biggest concern is sitting at the airport waiting for the shuttle to leave. Our flight gets in at 5pm, and we're going to try to book the late show for HDD that night. The Cast & Crew Transportation looks great - I've book marked them to book at 60 days out!

    Sunshine Flyer or Mears Connect?

    Hello all! We're in the process of finalizing our plans for our Sept. '23 trip, with the exception of the transportation to our resort (ideally I'd prefer a Minnie Van from the airport to the resort, but I understand they're still not running). Has anyone had recent experience with either...

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    Hello all! We were originally booked to stay at the Poly for our visit in September '23, but after the summer discounts were released a couple of days ago (10% at Poly vs 30% at BWI), we changed resorts! We've stayed at the Beach Club and POR previously, and can't wait to check into the Board...

    Airmiles Armchair Chatter

    Pickings have been pretty slim for me in YYC as well. We don't get gas at Shell, so the 'main' source of air miles for us now is through air miles shops. Save On did have a decent deal for a while, 100am wus $100 on a linked mastercard, but then it went to 50am wus $100, and this week it's 10am...

    On the other side of the country, it's a sunny +7 here in Calgary. After being in a cold snap/polar vortex for about a week, this feels like bikini weather! :beach:

    We've had a week of temps ranging from -28C to -40C (overnight). Today's high is -23C, and we're slowwwwwwly moving up to a 'high' of -19 tomorrow, but -1C for Christmas Day...

    Fort Lauderdale to Port Miami

    Our cruise isn't until Feb. 23. We booked the car with Budget, through the Costco website, and it looks like the return office is in downtown Miami (2nd Street), the shuttle to the cruise port is included in the rental cost. I believe their shuttle runs to the cruise port from 8am to 130pm every...

    Fort Lauderdale to Port Miami

    We arrive in FLL the day before our cruise, so we've decided to rent a car (through Costco), and drive from FLL to MIA. It'll be nice to have the car for the day to shop, etc., then the next day we'll return the car and take the shuttle from the rental agency to the port.

    No more vaccine requirement

    My understanding is if one isn't vaccinated and they end up coming down with Covid during the cruise, then statistically they will be sicker than a passenger that is vaccinated. So providing a negative test will (hopefully) keep the case numbers onboard down.
