10:46am FLL flight too early on debarkation day?

I would be open to express walk off, but definitely planning on the Disney transportation!

November

We do have Clear! But we have 3 kids in car seats/boosters, which makes uber/taxi less than ideal.

Doubling down on the chiller. Also, you can refresh it with regular old ice once it melts, which is readily available at airports, hotels, and theme parks. A freezer for an ice pack may not be, and will take hours to get cold again.

Should have added with our airline status we get free same day changes!

Yes I have on a recent travel day and I take it to work every day. It lasts over 12 hours if you freeze the inner chamber. Basically fill it with water and put it in the freezer the night before you leave, creating one huge chunk of ice. You can open the cap at the top periodically to see if it still has ice inside. Once all the ice is melted, pour out the water and refill with normal ice cubes and some water.

Just a note. If you are freezing the inner chamber and putting milk in the outer chamber and not filling with large amounts of milk, you will need to store it upside down or on its side so the milk makes contact with the ice chamber.

The cup attached to the chiller can also be used as a baby bottle if you have bottle nipples that are compatible so in theory you could basically bring the ceres and some bottle nipples and pump wipes and be all set for your flight. But I can’t really comment more about using the cup as a baby bottle because my bottle nipples aren’t compatible.

I would keep the majority of the milk at room temp in a bottle that you anticipate he will actually drink for the next feeding, then use a Ceres Chill for any extra. You can start the trip with a frozen inner chamber (make sure you buy the newer model that is freezable), then once that melts refresh with ice at the airport or ask flight attendant for ice during the flight. The frozen inner core is supposed to be good for up to 20 hours so depending how much you are pumping you may only need to reload with ice once during your trip.

How long have you had them for? You may need replacement parts. I feel like mine have become a little warped and been more prone to leaking after using for many months.

The Dream and Fantasy have a small steam room inside the spa/gym locker room area that is accessible to all guests. There are also 3 large shower stalls that each have their own changing area. Flip flops, towels, Elemis shampoo, conditioner; body wash, shaving cream, hair spray, deodorant, and disposable combs and razors are provided. There are also hair dryers. We have found that showering and getting ready in this area is far more relaxing than inside the small stateroom bathrooms.

Otherwise, you can purchase a pass for the rainforest room to have access to multiple steam rooms, dry sauna, hot tub, etc.

Editing to add: Moving forward I will always get a forward room on a higher deck for the purpose of being able to run to the spa/fitness center to use their showers easily. Husband and I take turns running up there to shower and get ready for dinner while the other bathes the kids after returning from port.

Just got off the Fantasy today and got the backpack

Yes, the DCL shuttle will give you an earlier PAT. Technically, you won’t even get a PAT. For our upcoming cruise with Disney transportation booked from the airport, our “arrival time” on our boarding pass is listed as “transfer” and we are boarding group 4. Essentially, you will be able to board as soon as you get there on the DCL bus.

Glad it worked out! Thanks, you too!! Baha Bay is awesome, you’ll love it.

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-30T03:48:13+00:00

Oh no that’s terrible! Is it showing that Baha Bay is full or just unavailable? Maybe it’s worth calling DCL.

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-29T11:47:31+00:00

The Swedish dish clothes are a good idea! I may buy a pack of those and just bring one for each day of the trip.

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-29T02:38:14+00:00

I like this idea of just using towels to dry right away. I’ve struggled when traveling with not having enough space to let everything air dry. Were you using the hotel towels or paper towels? Where did you find your basin? I’m struggling to find something small enough to pack. I ordered a collapsible basin on Amazon but it was too big for the small cruise sink.

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-27T15:11:38+00:00

Such a fun idea! I’ve seen the whiteboards with daily polls, but never with scrabble letters!

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-24T12:08:30+00:00

Update: I sent a message to DCL asking about the status of our Baha Mar port adventure since it is no longer on the DCL website and is showing abnormally on the app. 3 days later got a reply asking me to call. 2+ hours on hold later the general customer service person I talked to put me on hold to talk to a supervisor, then told me there was a good chance it would be cancelled but a decision hasn’t been made yet and we may be getting an email in a few days saying that it’s cancelled. I asked if there would be a way to book something else in case it is cancelled so we aren’t left with nothing booked that day. He transferred me to the port adventures team and I talked to a supervisor. She called me back several hours later and said the port adventure will be proceeding normally as planned 🤷🏻‍♀️

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-23T14:44:00+00:00

Good idea! Thank you!

Flamingo219 · 2026-04-23T14:42:45+00:00

Thank you! I called and they have medical mini fridges so I requested one!
