    Booking Shinkansen

    From all that I have heard, a Wise card should work. It’s very easy to get. I already have one and am planning on using it as a backup. This website offers a few more travel agency website suggestions that you can book through: https://www.seat61.com/Japan.htm (I love the Man in Seat 61...

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    One packing hack that is commonly mentioned is: pack your oldest clothes so you can throw them away after wearing them instead of bringing them back. Frees up space for souvenirs in the luggage. Maybe that’s the clothes you see. 😉🤣

    November 2024 Trip To Tokyo Disney !

    One month if you want to pick your seat. I think otherwise it’s two months out, but they will just assign a random seat.

    November 2024 Trip To Tokyo Disney !

    Yes, but that’s not comfortable. For us, booking with the reserved luggage space means one less worry, so we will do that.

    November 2024 Trip To Tokyo Disney !

    Yes, I think my suitcase would fit into it. Do I want to try to get it into overhead storage? Not really! But you are right, the limits are fairly generous.

    My cruise dropped 2k

    DCL does not.

    EBTA late dining

    Not on a TA, but on a Med cruise, people were waitlisted for late dining. With long port days it was far more popular than main dining. If you look into booking the EBTA this year, the only option is late dining though, so I think the TAs follow the general pattern of main dining filling up first.

    My cruise dropped 2k

    The problem is: if you want a specific cruise, there is no guarantee that any discounts will be offered, so paying more is the price for being able to pick your specific cruise and your stateroom. If you are flexible - to the point that you would be ok not to cruise - then it makes sense to wait...

    Can you carry your luggage to your room

    Also, for ironing I would use the luxury of sending out the item to be pressed by the professional onboard laundry people. You can indicate if items are to be dry cleaned or just pressed. Pressing is half the price of dry cleaning and very affordable.

    November 2024 Trip To Tokyo Disney !

    Sounds like a great itinerary! On the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo there is now a rule that you have to reserve seats with luggage storage if you bring bigger suitcases. You might be the type who just travels with a carry on, but we aren’t and that new rule has me a bit concerned. But...

    Disney wonder and a few questions

    This very much depends on which port you are sailing in/out of. The Wonder has cruises departing from multiple ports, so you need to tell us where your cruise is located. As to bar menus: https://disneycruiselineblog.com/menus/ They are a bit further down the page.

    How hot is it on the ship in Alaska?

    I would say the inside of the ship was weather appropriate. Warm enough to make you feel comfortable about being out in the cold, but not so hot that you wanted to change clothes as soon as you got inside.

    Fantasy Springs is opening June 6th 2024

    I found the TDR Explorer’s ebook guide to TDR very helpful. https://tdrexplorer.com/books/

    Cruise line poster

    When some concept art for Epic was announced by Universal, someone found a celebrity in it. I read then that those concept art artists do use photographs as templates. I see the likeness, but also that it’s not that identical that one can’t claim that it’s not that exact person. But I am...

    MCO Car Rental Return to DCL Ground Transfer Check-In?

    You could also drop off the car the evening before, take the Mears Connect shuttle back to your WDW resort for 16$ https://www.mearsconnect.com and change your DCL transfer to depart from WDW. Inconvenient for the driver, more convenient for the rest of the group. And gets you to the port early.

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    The thing that annoys me is that there is a dress code and I try to follow it and then they randomly don’t enforce it. It makes me feel stupid for actually following the rules. I wouldn’t mind no dress code, in Germany where I am from I never heard of dress codes for restaurants before. But if...

    Disney Cruise Experience is Worth It

    That’s the difference between September and July. Summer has an incredible premium on DCL.

    Placeholder questions...

    Each of you can get one or two placeholders in the app. I don’t remember if there was a field where you indicate that you want to or if you just go and get another one after the first. The placeholder will be tied to the person whose app was used. So the other person with a different address...

    ?'s and help needed with planning Hawaiian cruise

    We did that after our Alaska cruise. It was very easy with the bus departing directly from the cruise terminal. Can absolutely recommend. We flew from Victoria to San Francisco then afterwards to see my aunt. When you are coming from Europe, it’s just around the corner. 😉

    Paying Dues in January question

    That’s great news!! I haven’t prepaid for a long time because I didn’t like the old system. I do like the new system better. This means you do monthly payments and still use a credit card. Thanks for the info!
