    Concierge Perks?

    Regarding the alcohol during happy hour, if you have a preferred brand of something, ask if they can get it for you. If it’s on the ship, they generally will. For instance, I like La Fin du Monde (beer), and they stock some in the lounge for me. Same for Moët Ice. My son asked for a more...

    Dole Plantation

    It is very much a tourist trap, but it's a nice way stop between Aulani and the North Shore. You can, however, walk away without spending a dime--at least you could when we were there 5 or so years ago. We did enjoy walking around the gardens and looking at all the different types of pineapple...

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Platinum cruisers...did you get what you wanted? I hear that the cabanas are all sold out.

    I would love to see them add an Aquadunk or Aquaduck.

    Segway tour excursions....worth it?

    We have not done the ones you mention, but did one in Munich while waiting for our son to join us from his semester abroad in Italy. Well, our trip ended that day, as DH swerved to avoid a young woman who stepped in front of him, and he broke his leg. An ER trip, 6 days in the hospital, surgery...

    Concierge 2 BR Pricing

    And, honestly, having stayed in the 2BRs and Royals on the Magic and Wonder, as great as they are, I don't feel they are worth $32K. Fortunately, we were able to stay in them before they started asking for our first-born (though, we would have been happy at the time to "pay" that).

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Our boys are older now, but we’ve done it. We also got the nasty gram from the ISD, but the teachers were fine with it. Our boys each wrote a brief report of what they did. It is so worth it! Our boys still talk about their cruises, and they haven’t been on one for 9 years.

    platinum port checkin

    I'm fairly certain they cannot check in with you, nor board with you. You can, however, wait until their boarding number is called and board with them.

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Hi Megan and welcome to the thread! We're DVC as well. This will be our 12th cruise, but our "boys" 9th. I say "boys" because the youngest will be 21 when we sail. This is our last "Mom and Dad are paying" cruise. Time for them to cruise on their own nickel! We've never done a Merrytime, so...

    DVC Question

    We were on the 4/20 Dream. Goofy was at ours before the presentation started. We, too, had to pick up our hats afterwards at the DVC desk. We didn’t get anything else except a drink and bottle of water.

    So, PandL, where in Texas did you move?

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Well, as it is a holiday week, it will be expensive. Since we drive to Galveston, and I haven't flown into Houston in a long time, I can't say how expensive. The sooner you can book, the better you will be. Think about traveling off-peak (early in the morning, late at night). Traveling on...

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    You will see definite differences between the Fantasy and the Wonder. We finally went on the Dream--our first on one of the newer ships--and I personally prefer the feel of the smaller ships. There were just SO many people on the Dream! We are surprising our 3 "boys" (the youngest will have...

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Fantastic information! While I haven't sailed out of Galveston or done a Merrytime cruise, this cruise will be our 12 on DCL. I've been on the Wonder 4 or 5 times. Hopefully, we'll get more DISers here, so we can share all this knowledge!

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    It just seems so far away!! I’m so happy we have one before then. Even then, once we are home, it will still be over a year before the double dip :(

    Current castaway club gift on the Magic?

    Thanks! That's what we got on the Dream in April. I read somewhere that gold also included luggage tags, but we didn't get those. :(

    Disney Wonder November 29, 2019 Double Dip from Galveston

    Awesome! What number cruise is this for y’all? It’ll be our 12th. We just finished our 10th last month and are doing the WBTA in September. Then, we have the long wait until next year!
