We planned to spend eight days at the Disney parks before leaving for Miami for our cruise.  Because of the time of year, we expected it to be really busy in all the parks.  We planned to get in a few rides in the morning by arriving for rope drop, use our FastPasses, then spend a good amount of time enjoying the atmosphere.  read more

Time passed quickly as we waited for our travel day to arrive.  The travel itself was actually pretty anti-climatic.  The outbound flight for our trip left from Dulles airport.  We had arranged for a cab to pick us up at 6:00 am and drop us at Dulles.  We dropped our bags off and headed to the TSA Precheck line.  We had packed our carry on bags fairly full, mainly because we were sneaking Christmas presents on for our girls.  Of course, our carry on bags got pulled aside for additional screening.  Luckily, the girls cleared without issue and we shooed them away while TSA looked through the bag.  Nancy was able to tell the agent about the gifts and he discreetly searched the bag without revealing to the girls what the presents were.  After we reassembled the bags, we were on our way to the gate. read more

In March of 2016, we stayed in Stateroom 7548 on the Disney Wonder.  We were originally booked into a Category 9C Oceanview on Deck 2, but we upgraded at the port to this room for just $400.  Stateroom 7548 is a Category 05B Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah located mid-ship on the starboard (right) side of the ship on Deck 7, just behind the mid-ship elevators.  This is really the only time we’ve managed to upgrade at the port.  The rest of the sailings either didn’t have anything available or didn’t have anything better than what we had already booked. read more
