I did this in November 2021. Direct flight from DC to CDG. Landed at 7am. Immigration was a breeze. Had to wait only 15 minutes for the TGV and the train ride took ten minutes. Got lost a bit trying to walk from the TGV station to Hotel Cheyenne and ending up in the main parking lot, probably...

I go to Western Europe for two weeks every year, including all the countries you will visit. The Costco Citi Visa card works beautifully everywhere with no fees whatsoever. I never use any other card. As for SIM card, I buy this Orange Holiday SIM card from amazon before the trip and insert...

My family is going to Hawaii for the first time next summer. We’ll be doing island hopping to Oahu, Maui, Big Island, and Kauai. In Oahu, we’ll be staying at Aulani. From what I read, people refer to the beach at Aulani as a lagoon. So does this mean that the beach doesn’t have any waves? If...

I did this in November 2019. I looked at a few options. The tour companies didn’t have schedule flexible enough for my Universal park touring (i. e. rope drop, leave at park closing). I ended up renting a car for the day. Picked the car up first thing in the morning and dropped it off whenever I...

I would really appreciate it if you can tell me how everything goes for you. I know there shouldn’t be any need for me to worry but I am anyway. Hope everything goes smoothly for you! Enjoy the trip!

Just because I’ve never done it before. And I never sail with Holland America so I don’t know how good their internet connection will be. And I have a flight that is dependent on that test. And if it doesn’t go well, I won’t be able to get back to the U.S. Also, my trip doesn’t actually end in...

Hi, I have an Alaska cruise coming up in July. I’m actually sailing with Holland America, not DCL, this time around. But I think my question applies here. It’s a one-way cruise from Whittier in Alaska to Vancouver. After we disembark in Vancouver, we are flying home (back to the U.S.) in the...

I just realized that I left a bathing suit in my stateroom on the Dream this morning. Can anyone tell me if there’s a way to get it back? Phone number to contact? TIA!

I’m usually in your situation when my family is on vacation. We go to Orlando a few times a year visiting all the theme parks. My husband can come with us only once a year and other times I would bring my daughters to Orlando by myself. I’ve started doing this since they were 4 and 5 years old...

I did Discovery Cove in both July and November (Thanksgiving). I liked them both for different reasons. July was warm and good for water activities, But there were afternoon thunderstorms. The lazy river was closed for a little while. November was a little cool but the water was kept very warm...

I just did this during Thanksgiving week. No need for park reservation at any park (except Discovery Cove, of course). I sometimes got asked at the turnstile if I had a park reservation. But once they scanned the card, they knew immediately that I didn’t need one.

Thank you so much for your input! I was thinking about purchasing a single-day PhotoKey during Black Friday Sale if this tour requires it. Now I don't have to. You just saved me $35!!!

I just booked the Sea Lions Up-Close Tour at SeaWorld. Do I need to buy PhotoKey for pictures on the tour or I'll be allowed to take my own pictures? I did the Wild Arctic Tour (beluga and walrus) two years ago and they asked me to put all my belongings, including my phone and camera, in the...

Following!! I’m curious to see how crowded the parks were last weekend for you. My family is visiting this weekend and would love to hear your input. We’ll probably cross path at UO!! Haha!

Has anyone ever done the stingray feeding at Discovery Cove? If so, can you please share your experience? I'm taking my two girls (9 and 11 years old) this November. We have done the Dolphin Swim three years ago and we're not interested in that this time around. I was planning to just buy the...

I got to the ride at 3.15pm today. There is no chance of shower and thunderstorm all day. The posted wait time was 120 minutes. I asked the team member in front of the ride about the single rider line and he said he didn’t know if it was open and for now I needed to get in the standby line. And...

This happened to me. They told me that they just recently updated their website so ALL the reservations that have been made prior the update wouldn’t show up anymore. But they are still valid. If you need to confirm or modify, you just need to call.

Hmmm, this is really interesting!!! I personally NEVER got turn down service at Universal hotels and I’ve stayed at all three top tier hotels many times over the years, including club level!! I always wondered why they didn’t do turn down service with this price point until this visit. It’s such...

My family just stayed at Royal Pacific Resort for ten nights in July and we had THE best stay at Universal so far. We are regular Universal Orlando visitors and annual pass holders. We always stay on-site for a week or longer every trip. Our favorite hotel is Hard Rock Hotel but we normally...

My family has been annual pass holders for years. We normally take a three week long trip in the summer and stay on-site. We have always been able to book 14 days of FP+ at 60 days since it’s inception. And once we are here, we book more days as we use them up each day. It’s no difference for...
