One of the downside sometimes of getting free flights is that they tend to happen at odd times.  In this case, our flight to Seattle for our Alaska cruise was scheduled to leave Dulles at 7:00 am.  The night before our flight, I got an alert from United that our flight would be delayed by 30 minutes.  The message said that we should still show up on time, so that is what we planned on.  read more

For the summer of 2019, we had originally decided on a 10-night Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Magic.  As we got into the Summer of 2018, we came to the conclusion that we couldn’t make the cruise work with our schedule and our budget.  We already had a few cruises in the books that we had to pay for as well as a lot going on that would make it hard to plan a Europe trip.  Canceling that cruise was a huge burden lifted off our shoulders.  read more

I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on The DCL Dude podcast again for a game of “Carry It, Keep It, or Can It”!   Doug McKnight (of Rope Drop Radio), Sarah, Wes and I discuss which current Disney Cruise line amenities should be “Carried” over to the new ships, which ones are fine to “Keep” on the current fleet, and which ones should be “Canned”.  read more

Stateroom 9670
Stateroom 9670

Our friend Wes and his wife recently went on the Disney Dream in October 2019, for a 3-Night Bahamian cruise sailing from Port Canaveral. They booked a Category 5E stateroom about a month before the sailing at a guaranteed rate (GTY).  This means that Disney would assign a stateroom before the sailing.  They were assigned  stateroom 9670, which is a corner cabin with a verandah that wraps around the back of the ship.  This is very similar to the room that we upgraded to on our recent Spring Break sailing on the Wonder. read more
