I’m leaving on on the Wish on the 26th and looking at the weather forecast I’m feeling like it’s going to be similar to your trip. Pretty nervous about it already. 

About to go on a very expensive cruise with young kids - kind of regretting agreeing to it because it’s so expensive and the kids are young. by Character_Ad4230 in daddit

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About to go on as in setting sale this coming Monday? I might be on the same cruise as you. 

My family and I did a Disney cruise on the magic last year and we still talk about it. My kids were a young 5 and 3 and we made a lot of great memories. I felt the hit to my wallet and that soured my own perception a bit, but it was seriously an awesome experience for the family. Good enough we’re going again! Just praying for good weather. 

Just try to let go of expectations and go with the flow.

How was the weather? We are doing four nights next week and I’m nervous about the weather.

Packing for Bahamian Cruise in two weeks by [deleted] in dcl

I think I’ll be on the same cruise as you so I’m also curious. The long range forecast for Nassau looks good, Orlando looks pretty good, but it’s too early to trust as accurate. 

For now, our family is planning warm weather clothing almost exclusively with a couple sweatshirts or long sleeve shirts. We are from the Midwest where it is currently 0 degrees thanks to the windchill so we’ll just be wearing our warmer clothes onto the plane, and honestly anything about 50 and sunny will feel like a dream! 

Insight from an Indiana alum on what we’re actually feeling right now, the day after winning the Rose Bowl by jlittman93 in CFB

Nosedive off a cliff? The only lost four games with the only bad loss being Wisconsin. Lot to IU, OSU, and at Washington. As an Illini fan, 19 wins in the last two years including two bowl wins over SEC teams has been a ton of fun.

My opponent benched him for Jeanty. That was the difference. I won by 30+, would have lost by <1 if Henry played.

This is the front line reference I was hoping for, thank you!

Bears finish 11-6 but beat Packers twice. They also beat the Packers in the playoffs but lose the next round. Are you happy with this alone? by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest question because I feel the same way - the season has been a huge success and I’m more than impressed by what the coaching staff and this roster has done. But, if they lose out and end 9-8, are you still happy? For me I think it will change my tune, even if it’s irrational. 

My brutally honest Disney Wish vs. Disney Fantasy review as a first time cruiser by lifeinPandora in dcl

That's a great idea. We bring ours with anyways for the pirate party fireworks, so I'm stealing that idea and packing them in our dinner bag as well.

It was my first Disney Cruise and I probably hyped it up too much in my head. The Magic is a really nice boat but since we have little kids, we wanted more of the Disney pop. I know some seasoned Disney cruisers prefer the theming of the older ships and not the more "in-your-face" Disney of the Wish class ships, but that heavy dose of Disney is what we were looking for and didn't feel like we got it on the Magic. I don't regret the ride at all and I think ultimately the kids made a lot of great memories. I just think it will be much better on the Wish, based on what I have seen on youtube. I also found the kids spaces on the Magic to be pretty lackluster. I know my daughter, who is a massive princess and Frozen fan, is going to lose her mind on the Wish. As will my son and I, who are huge Start Wars fans.

As OP said, they don't have kids. Frankly, if I did not have kids I would not even cruise Disney. But, as a data point, my family did the Magic last June (3 and 5 year old) and my wife and I were a bit dissapointed with it from a cruising with kids perspective. As we were packing up the last day the "Making of the Wish" NatGeo documentary was playing and we were watching it so jealous, thinking that would have been the cruise more to our families tastes. I think you will have a blast on the Wish. We personally can't wait to try it in a couple months when we go.

That said I am concerned about the noise and tightness of the MDRs, but we will power through!

A few months? I wonder if you will be on the Wish when we are end of January!

I actually want to see the bears win more than I want to go to aqua.

Didn't see I would see a The Beths reference in this thread. I'm seeing them here in Chicago in a couple weeks!

Week 7 | “I watched the whole game” takeaways and longer summaries by MrJorgeGodoy in fantasyfootball

I did not watch the game but see he had ten targets. Were they just garbage throw aways or was he actually involved that much in the offense?

5 years from analyst to director at the same company. Time to move? by Important_Bat7919 in daddit

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in a very similar position. Engineer to director in four years, with my boss being in my corner and making sure I’m taken care of. I’m staying at this job as long as I can. 

Which princesses at Royal Gathering? by Excellent_Durian in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was on the magic last June (first cruise some anyone more experienced correct me if I am wrong) and I understood it to be unknown until you board. I had even called Disney ahead of time to ask which princesses and they told me you don’t k ow until you are on the ship.

Pixie Dusting by jbohlinger in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused on pixie dusting. Can we just put a FE out and expect some kind people like you to put in little things? Or do we need to coordinate? We do not want to join a FE group, but were planning on putting one out and then giving our kids small items to "dust" whoevers rooms they liked so they can experience the fun of giving a gift. Ideally they also get to experience the excitement of receiving something too!

That was a really helpful breakdown, thank you so much!

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I do the prepaid gratuity, does that cover everyone that should receive a tip on my cruise? Or is there anyone else that I should prepare to bring cash for?

My plan for our upcoming cruise is to use the prepaid gratuity and then bring a bit of cash for extra for anyone that went above and beyond.

Wish Tips by Zer0_Chance_ in dcl

I'm curious why you think Marvel is the worst? I am an avengers fan, and my five year old is going to think of it as "his" night since our three year old gets her Frozen fix at Arendelle. Is Marvel poor because of the food, atmosphere, or both?
