    Aulani Vegan?

    There are options at the resort. The chefs are awesome and will help out. We picked up items at Costco and Down to Earth (a local Whole Foods type store). They are both about 10 minutes away.

    Buy DVC direct from Disney in person vs over the phone?

    Some are, some aren’t. Ultimately, if they can tell a good story, they don’t need to “sell”.

    Mom/daughter 5 night trip- first time to Hawaii/Aulani- all info welcome!

    We have been going to Ko’Olina since before Disney bought the land. We are in Florida, so we tend to go for longer trips. On our last trip, we finally got to stay at Aulani. I actually worked for DVC when the resort was announced and wound up in some of the early meetings and conducted...

    Buy DVC direct from Disney in person vs over the phone?

    That’s not the way Disney works. They will change the rules occasionally however. I assure you, the guides and sales managers have many reason$ for wanting to make the sale. It’s the sales prevention team (legal and compliance) that pulls those chains.

    Magic Bands Upgrade

    We ordered a few today. Poor implementation. It took us several attempts to get them ordered. My wife just went with a free one after the one she wanted disappeared twice.

    Aladdin on Hold?

    Unfortunately, they did not do Josh any favors on stage. He is an incredible singer, we had the chance to see him do an impromptu version of shallow with Sister, Sister. However, in the WD theater, with just a piano, it was pretty empty, and the crowd grew less dense quickly. It was not a...

    Aladdin on Hold?

    I posted in another thread. I talked to several people and the new show will be based on the live action movie. This comes from one of the directors from Toronto where rehearsals and training occur for the ships as well as onboard theater people.

    We had the chance to talk to one of the directors that works in Toronto. That is where they do the training and rehearsals for the entertainment. Also spoke with some of the onboard theater production people. The revised show will be based on the live action Aladdin.

    Just off the Fantasy...

    We were on the first cruise that Aladdin was not performed. So was the cruise line blog. There was no DCL announcement prior to that. Even shoreside DCL cms did not know until the day of sailing. I had a great conversation with the cruise director and the executive communication team when I...

    New ice cube rule

    Well, not going to an event is a change. Terrorists don’t really care if we can’t bring ice into a theme park. They do t want change. They want to cause terror. They want to push others into a spot where the other side is perceived to be the bad guy. On that front, we have certainly...

    Anyone else only sailed Disney, considered another cruise line

    After many cruises with Disney, my wife and I sailed on the Norwegian Bliss in February. Beautiful ship. She is vegetarian and I also avoid dairy. Despite numerous communications prior to the cruise, while boarding and at the restaurants, we were very disappointed with their options in most...

    1820?

    My daughter just participated in the 1820 for the first time. She enjoyed it. It’s fairly informal. I spoke with the cruise director and he shared that they are really trying to make sure that age group has a good time.

    Disney Dream has switched to pump bottles for H2O pruducts

    Marriott has stated several times that it doesn’t save them money. It’s about using less plastic. Take it for what it’s worth, I don’t really think Disney is passing any savings on.

    Disney Dream has switched to pump bottles for H2O pruducts

    Between this and straws, I have never seen so much passion for plastic products... We were just on another cruise line and they had the dispensers in the room. Not once did my mind wander to a person smuggling aboard a key in an uncomfortable spot to then have their way with my shampoo...

    Passport Expired!!

    Unless your cruise extends past the expiration date, it’s not a problem. When you do renew them, they have to be done in person. Kid’s passports can’t be done through the mail.
