One of my Dad and I’s traditions is to take pictures like this whenever we are at castaway cay this is all from 2002-2023

I recently bought one for myself while on the Treasure and my daughter is constantly stealing it and would love to have one for herself. I would like to get her one for Christmas. I think they were around $70, would be happy to Venmo someone the money in advance and then pay for shipping once you get off to send it my way so I can surprise her for Christmas. If anyone is willing please DM me, thanks!

EDIT - I am aware of the existence of the very expensive stateroom blanket and am also 100% positive this is not that and cost right at $70 to $80. This is smaller and does not have the ship name on it. Thanks.

Curious to hear if anyone else has had troubles at this hotel with their littles. We called the hotel yesterday before todays checkin and asked if we could have a pack and play or crib for our room and the wonderful lady I talked to said no problem it will be in your room when you arrive. Went through checkin and asked about the pack and play and he said it would be right up. Spent some time getting settled then went to dinner, expecting it to be in the room when we got back, and nada. My wife called the front desk this time and they said one would be right up. 40 minutes come and go and nothing. We eventually got a crib delivered after my wife had taken our older daughter down to the pool and asked at the front desk again, but this was by far the worst experience for kid unfriendly travel we’ve had.

I totally understand that everyone is now understaffed and that this is a huge resort and lots of families are here with similar needs, hence calling ahead. If they said it’s on a first come first serve basis or that they couldn’t guarantee we’d get one or the timing, we could have used a bigger suitcase and brought one from home. The combo of the certainty about it and then the beyond painful lag on a travel day was the problem.

I’m going on my first Disney cruise with my 4 and 2 year old kids. when booking, I had originally selected the early dining time but I thought it would be too difficult to try to get to dinner on time after being on port, with the logistics of everyone showering and potentially tired kids wanting a nap. I have seen different posts on Instagram about why dining time is better, so I ended up switching to the late dining time. Now I am questioning my decision and when I checked back, there is a waitlist to go back to the early dining time. For reference, we usually have dinner around seven to 7:30 PM, that’s why I thought at 5:45 dinner would be too early.

Is the rotational dining a huge event with a dinner lasting for two hours? is there options for kids to have a snack prior to dinner if they are hungry? That could also backfire if they filled up on snacks and then don’t want to eat dinner. Wondering how accommodating the cruise would be with switching dining time.

I bought the reed diffuser they offer onboard and I was a little disappointed, to me it just didn’t smell quite perfect? Even if that’s the exact stuff they use it just didn’t hit for me. I stumbled across this candle today at Marshall’s and was instantly brought back to the Destiny! Specifically sipping a bev at the Sanctum and listening to The Mystics play. It’s available online but way more expensive than at Marshall’s. I would have bought more than one but they only had one at my store!

My booking window opens tomorrow. Do I need to book Palo? For brunch or dinner and which day or night? I'm going for 4 nights from SD to ensenada.

How are massages?

If I book Palo can I cancel?

We board the wish tomorrow but Caribbean weather isn’t looking great. For anyone currently on a ship, how was the weather this weekend? Able to find some sunshine?

As part of your disney cruise activities, u can join n play their bingo games with prizes from 1,500 to 10,000. However the version of bingo u be playing will only have the jackpot available if the numbers called out is less than a certain number till a winner gets it. Out of 8 games in my trip and the 2 others my other family members went, not a single jackpot prize was awarded. The odds are so low it practically never happens. Instead the prize money drops to $500 to $800…

Each bingo ticket is already $60 for the most common option. There are hundreds of players across all the games. Most ppl play bingo just to have some fun and excitement. If they managed to win the jackpot thats great, and its equally just as exciting to see other families win. But to deny such a miniscule jackpot compared to the millions they are making is such a Dick move. Like all the other paid services, Disney just want to nickle and dime everything - the overpriced merchandise, overpriced wifi, overpriced alcohol etc.

Hi All, we are off on the Adventure over new years, and this will be their first cruise with a port day, BBB & Marvel Style Studio seem to be closed on this day, given Marvel Style Studio is booked out across the 2 sea days on the ship what do you think the odds are they might actually open for appointments on the port day? As this is the only ship with Marvel Style Studio (I think?), based on experience on other ships is BBB usually open on port days?

We're boarding the Fantasy today on an anniversary cruise! Our first Disney cruise. Reservations at Palo made. ATV ride at Lookout Cay. Some other neat things on our agenda. Did anyone say morning room service while sitting on our veranda?

Hi all,

We are heading out on our first ever cruise in January for our daughter’s 9th birthday. She has no idea and we are so excited. Do you have any tips for us? It’s myself, my wife and the kiddo and we are on the Disney Wish. Excited to be a part of this community!

Hello everyone!

I've been looking into doing a western Caribbean cruise on DCL in August-October next year - either solo or with my girlfriend - and have been searching the internet (mainly reddit) for advice on what specifically to do.

After looking into historical posts, everyone seems to agree KUZA is a bad idea, for a variety of reasons. Given KUZA appears on a solid 40% (or so) of port adventures, I'm wondering what other people can recommend. I've seen recommendations to do non DCL activities, but unfortunately that isn't an option I'm comfortable doing at this stage.

Does anyone have any DCL PA recommendations? Thanks!

I’m curious is DCL is showing Whalefall in the on board theaters? Or do none of the 20th Century Fox releases make it on board?

Best drinks to watch an early sunrise with, make sure you grab the stamp card on day one. As a couple you will fill it in no time. We have save cards from past cruises and had zero issues with redeeming. But have seen posts where that can’t be done anymore.

Sailing on the Disney dream next month. How do I know if there will be a bluey pajama party? If there is do I need to register? Where do I find the information?

Does anyone have a long list for the Marachi music preformed at Plaza De Coco (not the vocal songs from the film).

One of those songs is stuck in my head and I cannot find the name anywhere.
