OP here. Thanks for the responses. I think I will not bring up the Teen Club at all and just encourage them to find things to do together. They are very close and I don't see them wanting to split up.

Loved your trip report! I am curious how far in advance of your cruise were the Up emails sent? And if you don't mind me asking, how much per person did you pay to upgrade to the Jr. Suite?

I am traveling with two teen girls ages 15 and 18 next spring. This trip is a graduation present for the older teen. I am just realizing how tricky it will be to travel with one teen and one "adult." I am thinking that the 18 year old will not be allowed to join the 15 year old in the teen...

Are the strawberry kiwi water, the mango water and the lemonade sugar free? Are there any complementary non-carbonated sugar free options available besides iced tea (no drink package)?

OP here. THANKS all! I talked to Mom last night and encouraged her to think about renting a mobility scooter for the 3 days we are at Disneyland. She is open to this idea! I think we will purchase the Hungry Bear counter service meal as we are also traveling with two teen girls who are not...

We are adding on 3 days at Disneyland following a stay at Aulani. Is there any way to secure seats to watch Fantasmic? Years ago we did a Dessert package and sat in folding chairs. Is that still offered? My Mom would love to go, but can neither stand for the show or sit on the ground. THANKS.

Great question! I believe I am going to forgo the drink packages and just bring Crystal Light packets to mix with ice water.

THANKS for the advice! You confirmed what I was thinking. I will let the girls decide about the soda package vs. the refreshment package. If they have a soda package, will the servers bring them soda in the main dining room? At Windjammer?

THANKS for all the replies. It really helps to be able to anticipate what will happen. ORION - Do you also recommend Charleys's for the VIP Meet and Greet or another service?

We are sailing on the Symphony next April. I am doing some advanced planning and have some questions about the Refreshment Beverage Package. I will be traveling with 2 teens. If the teens want the Refreshment Package, must I also purchase it? The girls are not big soda drinkers, but I am...

I plan to use Charley's Taxi from the airport to Aulani. Can someone tell me how this works? If I make an advanced reservation, is there a driver waiting at bag claim? Do we need to collect our luggage and wait at a desk or kiosk? Do we call someone when we arrive to let them know we are...

I only get a handful of Trick or Treaters, so I buy something I like and will use later. Its always chocolate! (I already have a bag of Kit Kat bars which I have not opened!)

I pay $95 to clean a 2 bedroom condo every 4 weeks. It takes between 3-4 hours to clean. If she doesn't finish within the 4 hours she leaves me a list of what she didn't get to and I try to do that myself before the next cleaning.

For us its about value, not cost. I am willing to pay a premium if I believe I am getting a good value for what I pay for. But Disney has increased costs at the same time they have reduced services. So yes, our next trip will be our last one for several years.

Okay. So I just got off the phone with my Mom. She said her goal was to make sure our childhood was as happy and normal as possible despite her (our) grief. She accepted assistance and promised to pay it forward which she has done in spades! She has baked and donated thousands sf cookies to...

My Dad died when I was young. He was injured in a horrible truck accident which left him disabled for two years before he passed. My Mom was left to raise 4 of us. Money was always tight. Our church, family, and friends helped us out a lot. My younger brother was invited by a friend on a summer...

We pulled kid out of school for an annual trip for several years. The assignment was always the same. I would buy her a new spiral notebook and she would decorate the cover as My Disney Journal before we left home. Each day, she would draw a picture on one page, and write about her experiences...

A couple of visits ago I was waiting for my family to ride 7DMT sitting on the cement wall as you enter new Fantasyland. After a few minutes a family of 5 - Mom, Dad, Boy about 6, Boy about 4, Baby in stroller come next to me. Mom proceeds to haul baby out of stroller and lay her on the cement...

We almost always stay on-property. But a few years ago, we rented a 6-bedroom vacation home in Emerald Island for a trip of adults mixed with older teens and early 20 somethings. It was the right choice! The "kids" were used to having their own space and weren't too keen to squeeze into...
