Thanks for the tips! I will check out those other cruise lines. Unfortunately I really like balcony rooms and with that plus a family of 5, I am priced out of the Disney Alaskan Cruise.

I am interested in your thrifty cruise advice :) We have been on one 3 night Disney cruise and we didn't spend any additional money on board :) We stayed on board in Nassau and didn't pay for anything additional at Castaway Cay. We are planning to go on our 1st RCCL cruise (oasis class ship)...

Do you all generally recommend the RCCL Alaska cruise? I am generally interested in going to Alaska one day. My parents went there on a land-based trip (not cruise). Thanks!

Thanks again for the advice everyone!! I appreciate it so much. I am still super into the RC trip but if you can believe it I am running my first RunDisney race - Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon next weekend!!! First 1/2 marathon post kids (ages 10, 8, and 5 now, haha).

@DisMommyTX : “I recommend only 1 excursion per port, even on long port days.” Hehe that is probably actually very good advice and probably should have been obvious to me!! Thanks! Of any upgrades, I am considering dining!! Thanks again everyone!!

@starvenger thank you so much for the advice and good info!!! I really appreciate it <3. Noted on my beach plans in Cozumel in particular - you make very good points!! Thanks again!

Hi! I was excited to find this RCCL board here! I have only been on one cruise before and it was a three night Disney dream cruise out of Port Canaveral. At that time my kids were 7, and almost 5, and almost 2. Now they’ll be 11, 9, and 6 on the RCCL cruise. We loved the Disney Cruise but...

You can look at old cruise compasses on the Royal Caribbean blog and get an idea of what you can expect.

I have Sept 4-7 booked at beach club!!!

Oh haha I forgot somehow that I agreed to run the Princess Half Marathon with my sister & cousin so we will be there in Feb. for two nights, too. I don't even know if we will have time to visit the parks or what.

Hi! I am checking in to follow this report! I actually booked our next trip already - next Sept. at Beach Club! So I'll be interested to read the YC notes from you. I was at WDW the same time as you - we were there 8/19 to 8/24. We stayed at AKL and had a great time! We did the free dining...

We are going to try Labor Day weekend 2020!

Never mind I found it!!!

Hi! What board here has posts about RunDisney races? Thank you!

UGH I think I messed up and I didn't know in advance that I wanted to do a bounceback offer - I think I thought I could only use it for next August and I knew I didn't want to then, but here I am planning a Dec. trip like you. I think I could have done it :( :( :(

I just went to Disney in August 2019 (staying in AKL), with my parents, my sister, and my 3 kids (now 10, 7, and 4) (my husband had to work, and he doesn't love Disney), but I think my in-laws would like to go with us too, so now I am seriously considering December 2020 (possibly 12/18 to 12/23)...

Here are my tentative plans. Happy to hear any comments :) 8/19: Arrive, MDE from airport, check in to hotel, eat dinner, check out pool if time 8/20: AK in AM, Tusker House lunch, hotel/pool midday, DHS in PM 8/21: TSL EMM so DHS in AM, back to hotel / pool midday, 1900 Park Fare dinner, MK in...

I also want to try to get an early-ish Jedi training slot so we can get out of the park by lunchtime. Last Friday, 3/22 my friend was at DHS. At 10:39am she took a photo for me of a sign saying there were still Jedi training slots available (but who knows what times - probably later ones)...

I’m not going until mid August so I have some time on this, but we also really want to do Jedi training. Can anyone advise what time I should try to leave TSL EMM to sign up for Jedi training? Thanks!

The Disney update is that I was hemming and hawing over TSL EMM, and when I finally went to book it a week or two ago - it was sold out! But, I didn't give up and I kept checking. Yesterday to my surprise I was able to book it for the date I wanted! I did not originally want to book it...
