That's awesome. Thanks so much! One less thing to worry about. :) Mark

Hi, I've searched here and the Disney website to no avail... We're hoping to be there for rope drop next month and my DW will be needing a chair to help her legs heal (she's able to stand in lines, it's all the walking we're looking to avoid). I understand there's a more than fair chance that...

We'll be arriving on November 5 for a five day stay. We've monitored the ups and downs of the situation and decided to press forward... We sympathize with the locals, but by this point changing or cancelling our flights to and from HK will cost more than the money than the vacation overall. :(...

Orlando tonight, boarding tomorrow! Hope to see many fellow Canadians, fellow Disney-lovers, fellow NEW FRIENDS as possible over the next seven days! :D Mark

I saw that too and asked about it - and the guy at the desk specifically said that we'd be charged from the first day we used the toll - i.e. if we only use the toll on the third day of a three- day rental (as we intend), we'll only be charged the fee on that day (plus the tolls themselves). I...

This is fantastic info, thanks all. :) I'm in Orlando now, and hope to use one system or the other. My rental provider (Budget) will charge me $3.95 per day I use the toll road, plus the tolls themselves. If I indeed save it to the last day to use the toll roads (looks like I can get to Disney...

Perfect topic, because I need toll advice! We're coming in from Canada (from a region where we have no toll roads), renting a car on arrival in Orlando prior to our cruise, and staying adjacent to Universal Studios. I'm wondering if we can avoid paying tolls on all but our final drive out to...

Hi everyone, sorry for the lateness of this concluding post. Stuff got in the way, then I lost my document file! All of the following was not critical to the day itself, so I was resigned it wouldn't have been found, but here it is! :) Missed Part The First? Click right here! Or maybe youu...

What?! I thought it was NEXT WEEK?! Ah, NUTS!!! ;) Mark

I’m curious about this as well. Mostly because I’m not a beer drinker but do enjoy my vodka coolers and assorted ciders, and would like to bring cans of that aboard instead. Also, what about bringing your cans / bottles of your own up to the deck to enjoy? Or is it strictly for cabin/verandah...

We had a verandah on our only previous (Honeymoon) cruise and are going inside this time out (next weekend!). It was just my wife and I last time, and this time we'll have our DD8 along with us. We did use the verandah a bit when we had it, but not really to relax and read and so on. I remember...

For those of us on meds, manage them appropriately. I am prone to gout, and had an attack at WDW, exactly when I ran out of my medications to deal with the symptoms. Walking was so painful I had to be wheelchaired onto the cruise ship! We spent the first hours of our honeymoon cruise stuck in...

*gasp* You were in 2515? We're your former next door neighbors! What did we do wrong? ;) Less than two weeks to our first cruise, so excited! Mark

THREAD REVIVE! People who've been to Seito Sushi in Orlando, we'll be there on the Thursday prior to our cruise. Is this the sort of place where reservations would be recommended for Thursday or Friday? Also, I see there's a happy hour menu. Yum! Mark

One link for your answer: https://hoteldel.com/restaurant-coronado/sheerwater/ - straight up buffet with waffle, omlette stations, etc. But there's also this: https://hoteldel.com/restaurant-coronado/crown-room/ - wish I could've been there for that! Mark

The Coronado Hotel breakfast buffet is pretty awesome. :) I go there frequently for a work conference. I like to do mexican while there, and there are several places in Old Town that suit the bill IMO. Gaslamp will have plenty of places for the tourist crowd. Bronx pizza is actually pretty...

We're on the Fantasy on October 27. We're only ill that we can't board sooner. Seriously though - what kind of illness? It IS that time of year when our kids bring back and share a whole host of friendly germs in their first week of school... Mark

Question from a guy who despises sriracha: What are the spiciest foods available aboard ship, in Cabanas, the MDRs, or at Remy/Palo? Mark

We don't live near the centre of the universe (we're in Calgary) so we don't have Continental near us, I'm afraid. ;) Still, good advice! We're doing Western Caribbean next month and it's been a good decade since our last cruise, but I recall going mostly plastic on our shore time (or that it...

Newbie question: as a loose minimum, how much US cash ought we to bring for the cruise? Given that we expect to use our credit cards when possible. We know that little cash will be needed, or even wanted, aboard; but we’re thinking of cash needs when in port and before we actually set sail. Is...
