    First Time Cruise With Electric Scooter - Port/Excursion Questions

    We are back and had a great time! I wanted to put a synopsis on here of each port, and the excursions I did in each so if others are looking, they will have a better idea of the challenges in getting around at each port. Port 1 - Falmouth, Jamaica - I did NOT take the scooter off the ship. I...

    First Time Cruise With Electric Scooter - Port/Excursion Questions

    My scooter was borrowed from a friend, but I remember it had "Shoprider" on it. However I think it was a bit older - it belong to our friends late husband. It was a very small one, and was narrow enough that I could fit it through the doorway of a regular cabin on the ship. It also had a...

    First Time Cruise With Electric Scooter - Port/Excursion Questions

    Thank you both for the great advice. I’ve only ever seen the regular tenders in GC, never the use of ships ones/ lifeboats so fingers crossed! I think we will plan on the public beach there as well, & have DH move the scooter close to our chairs. There will be at least 4 of us there, so...

    Disney Visa Questions - Pay over Time, Spa, and others?

    One other suggestion - you CAN prepay your tips for your servers & cabin attendant at the time you pay in full for your cruise, if using the Disney Visa, & you would get the 6 months no interest on that part of it as well. You just need to tell your TA to add them on ahead of the PIF date. We...

    Staying Offsite, ECV Questions for One Day MK visit

    We’re just going to watch them march, not chaperoning, so definitely a more casual pace. But I want to spend the whole day at the park, shop, eat, etc… I just need to stop & rest often, & possibly sit. Right now it sounds like I should get there super early to ensure ecv availability. Would it...

    Disney outlet shopping in Orlando during Covid

    Note that while the local Target or Walmart both carry Disney & Universal souvenirs, there is quite a bit of difference in the goods. The outlets carry leftover/unsold/overstock merchandise from the parks & cruise ships. Target & Walmarts offerings are designed for them to fit the price of their...
