    Shipping Box Markings - American Girl

    I have purchased two small accessory items (hairbrushes) for granddaughters for Christmas from American Girl. The shipment is addressed to their dad. The dolls themselves are already wrapped and secreted away, and Mom doesn't even know about them. Yes, the granddaughters can read (and Mom can...

    Critics Are Calling Out Disney for Fat-Shaming Polynesians With ‘Moana’ Character

    What I don't get is - how is it shaming if the character is shown in a good light? Doesn't shaming mean "you should feel bad if you look like this?" If he is a hero in the film then people who look like him will feel good. Sigh...So many things to keep straight if I want to be socially acceptable.

    New Private Island?

    Of course this is all speculation...but other cruise lines are building new ships with intention of having them launched and permanently berthed in Asia. This is a very very lucrative market, and I would not be surprised if the "new" ship went straight to Asia (after maybe a few cruises on the...

    Book character breakfast and meet & greet online!

    I think that is right - I don't believe there are Character Breakfasts on the shorter cruises. (Bummer.)

    Book character breakfast and meet & greet online!

    Thanks everyone...we have some tickets for our preferred times (enough for the kids and one adult) and we will take our chances with the other reservations (all adults) that are not paid in full yet. ----Actually, what we have right now are two adults and two children (one full room.) I am...

    I think the website is just messed up right now. Nothing is working.

    Is it necessary to log on at midnight at 90 days out?

    Thanks - I am skeptical too. I don't think it is going to work out. My husband was not happy about that, even though we figured it was all a long shot anyway (even before we knew we are right on the edge.) Probably the best bet is to have daughter-in-law give it a shot while we are traveling. I...

    Is it necessary to log on at midnight at 90 days out?

    Here is my sad dilemma - maybe someone can advise. We have planned a cruise with extended family in September. We have a cruise out here on the west coast in May, just my husband and myself. After that cruise we will be Gold status, giving us a little edge making reservations for the September...

    Messaging Stuffed toy?? help.

    That's so cute! But I hope the toy works better than the webpage - I can't any of the links to respond. How secure do you think it is? - I wouldn't want some weirdo sending messages to my grandson or whoever.

    Ugh, time to renegotiate Sirius XM radio

    I did sign up online for internet access (since it came with the trial subscription on the car,) so they have my email address. I do get emails from them promoting special shows that they will have - so they know who I am. Is the negotiated price ($25 for 6 months) for All Access? Thanks - Maddle

    Ugh, time to renegotiate Sirius XM radio

    My trial subscription on my new car ends in 42 days. How far in advance should I call in order to be invoiced $5 per month ($25 for 5 mos.) and pay by check? And is that price that people have negotiated for All Access? or limited?

    First time with kids..Stroller question.

    Two separate thoughts - Character Meals: they are so much fun, and your children are a great age for them. Yes, they are expensive, but the fun is priceless. Strollers: Please, please, please...take the stroller! You will be so happy you have it. Your children will last longer. You will last...

    Soundsational Parade direction

    We have reservations for an early dinner at Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue at 4:50 pm. (Early dinner because we have little ones who won't make it to a later time.) I would like to see the 4 pm parade, so naturally i would like to view it at the beginning of the route, then scoot over to the dinner...

    Wow - tough crowd. Lots of uncalled-for comments. Sometimes you get locked into the timing of your trip by other circumstances - it's unfair to criticize the OP because she has expressed disappointment. I get the sense that the hotel is what really put her over the edge. Considering the prime...

    Big Thunder Ranch BBQ or somewhere else?

    I am trying to decipher....is the price for adults $29.99 PLUS tax and tip....or does that price INCLUDE the tax and the tip? What does the final price come to? Maddle

    Is WoC worth the time commitment?

    Your experience frustrates me - I can't think of anything ruder than someone with a child on their shoulders. i understand picking up a child and holding him/her in your arms, but I don't think the child's head should be two feet higher than the parent's head...unless the parent and child are...

    Do you use a pressure cooker? Update-I bought one!

    What brand(s) electric ones are you using? and how long have you had them? Thanks. MJ

    Where can I buy airline size booze?

    Someone will chime in with a definitive answer....but I do think Disney Cruise Line does allow alcohol to be brought on. You just have to put it in your carry on bag. Maddle
