    Naples - short port day 8:30-4pm

    We used Pompeiin for a private tour and had an amazing day: http://www.pompeiin.com/en/Pompeii_and_other_tours.html (Trip report for 2018 Med on the Magic in my signature has a rundown of that day.) Honestly, for a shorter port day, you might just want to do Pompeii. It looks like Pompeiin...

    Port adventure recommendations for all three ports - Mexican Riviera

    In PV I recommend Las Caletas. There are so many activities to do there. It would be helpful to know the age range of your traveling party.

    Searching DVC availability Tool

    Sometimes I use this one: https://tools.dvcvacations.com/points-calculator Even though I'm an owner and can use the DVC site, I feel like with that tool it's really easy to quickly see availability across a variety of resorts and room types. Then I log in and see what's available for real and...

    I banked my points to book Aulani but it's not available. WWYD?

    Awesome! Thank you! We are planning a couple of resort-only days so we can just chill. My daughter will be almost 16 and I think she wants to see what teen activities there are. The rest of the days we are definitely going to go out and explore the beauty of the island and its cultural...

    I banked my points to book Aulani but it's not available. WWYD?

    Update: we are fully booked! :) Yesterday I was refreshing for the umpteenth time when lo! One of my nights was available! I snagged it. That made four of the five nights. I had a WL set for the fifth night, the middle night. Today I got that blessed email that Disney couldn't wait to welcome...

    NCL leaves passengers behind in Africa

    TBH, I can't recall ever hearing of this happening before now. Yes, I know cruise ships leave passengers behind sometimes, but they are not usually on a third party excursion, they usually lose track of time whilst drinking over at Señor Frogs. In all the cruises we've done, we've only ever...

    The Official VILLAS at DISNEYLAND HOTEL (Discovery Tower) Owners and Fans Info Thread

    Oof, this is a big thread, wow! We will be going in June (Standard View Studio - me, DH and DD almost 16). We own at Riviera but booked at the 7 month mark. It's been YEARS since I've been to Disneyland so I think I'll need to head over to that forum to figure everything out because I know...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Y'all I am KICKING myself. I logged into my Chase account to try to figure out why I didn't get my CB from the Home Depot Chase Offer. I used the wrong card. UGH. Mega head desk. It was on my Freedom and I used my SWA card. I feel like SUCH a moron. So I ordered again with my Freedom card so now...

    What is Ft. Lauderdale like during spring break?

    It's absolutely HORRIFYING. We accidentally ended up in the middle of it the night before a cruise some years back. Never ever ever again. We got almost zero sleep. So loud. It was a party all night long outside our hotel.

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    I hope you're doing well and can celebrate being done with everything in Feb. My first cruise post-treatment was emotional! I'm almost one year past treatment. It's not always easy (it seems like even when you're done having cancer, you're never really done having cancer) but it's easier than...

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    I do this anyway so that I can get credit card points on my medical spending. My out of pocket max is $6k and we will hit it (thanks cancer). That's a lot of Southwest points! ;) At least something good can come out of all this medical spending.

    Flight time from Barcelona

    From DCL here is their official guideline for that sailing: Earliest departure time from Barcelona International Airport on debarkation day: 12:30 PM From this page: https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/guest-services/ground-transportation/ I would go with DCLs recommendations, even if you...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    No. You have to have the offer and then Activate it in order for it to work. I have it on my Freedom but not on my Southwest. Not all Offers are on all Chase cards for whatever reason.

    Disney Magic in 2024, still worth it?

    I just sailed the Magic in January. If you told me that ship was 25 years old, and I didn't know, I wouldn't believe you at all. It's our favorite ship. I love them all. Well, except the Wish. I didn't love the Wish. It was fine and I'd sail her with the right itinerary, but she's definitely in...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Has anyone bought DL tickets lately? A couple of months ago I wanted to buy some and sent all the info to my TA. I mathed it out and it's actually a better deal for me to just buy direct than to use UT or something with all the deals I've gotten with buying DCGs. My TA hasn't been able to get...

    Conflicting onboard credit refund info

    One of those threads you referenced was mine (the second one) and I provided my data points and how things worked out on page 2. This was a cruise in January of this year so definitely recent experience. It was eventually refunded. If you need the money back right away, I don't recommend...

    private transfer: civitavecchia PORT to civitavecchia TRAIN station?

    I don't think you can avoid that first shuttle, but I may be wrong. It's the way the port is configured. Honestly, it SOUNDS much more annoying than it is. It really wasn't a big deal.

    4n magic animation magic?

    Those restart sailings were doing all kinds of weird stuff. It's definitely not a normal occurrence but it does seem to happen now and then, apparently. What's funny is that after I responded that I had never heard of this, we were on a 4-night on the Magic in January and our table mates were...
