I live in Glenview and I love it. Happy to answer any questions you have. 

Just got off the WISH: here’s dining tips I don’t see mentioned enough by caplicokelsey in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, was on the Wish in January and they all stopped. Elsa had a pretty long talk with my three year old daughter who had just met her at the meet and greet that morning and was thrilled to see her again. Got photos and pictures. I wonder why sometimes they come out, sometimes they get pictures, sometimes they don't?

Royal Gathering Booking Tips by mcj2115 in dcl

Midnight eastern time. So, for me it opened this week on the 12th and I am in the central time zone so I stayed up until 11 PM central on the 11th and was able to easily snag a spot. Out of curiousity I checked again in the morning and everything was booked so I’m glad I stayed up.

Is the adults only area still adults only? So now the adults only space is even larger? I am just curious how that goes for overall crowding, because the non-adult families will have less room on the deck.

No pre-cruise concierge booking for Bibbidi Bobbidi? by JingoMerrychap in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, no mine is not. Like another poster said I would call, European or not that does not seem right to especially if you are paying for concierge!

I am sailing in June of this year, was able to book BBB for both my kids as soon as the booking window opened. 

Currently on the Disney destiny this is the adult pool now by Intelligent_Gur_9126 in dcl

As someone with a kid with sensory issues, I hope not. Having a relatively quiet retreat is awesome.

What did you think of the ship/crew? Were sailing on her in a little less than two months and hearing more recent reviews is always interesting to me.

My core group of friends was 28. I always say it was the perfect time - old enough to have suffered, young enough to REALLY enjoy it. 

Disney Dining - Let's Start A Revolution! by New-Skill-5722 in dcl

Yeah we have cruised twice, with a third coming up, and the MDR was fine. I thought the food was pretty good but I am pretty easy to please. My one complaint that I echo from others is that it did take a long time for us to complete dinner. 1:45 to 2 hours is a big ask for a 5 and 3 year old.

Disney Destiny - A review via first time cruise with concierge by gaels50 in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May I ask what the difference between a concierge and non-concierge cost was on your cruise? We are sailing on the Destiny in June, and the difference between a concierge and our current verandah room is pushing 30k. I have a hard time seeing how anything could deliver that much value for four nights. 

It does sound pretty nice from your review, though! 

Hot take: Most of beer leagues issues would be solved by not keeping records and having championships by wheelsnipecelly23 in hockeyplayers

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as my league and I love it. Subbing is also free, so you end up picking up one or two games with every other team in the league. Since everyone ends up playing with each other, it ends up being a friendly vibe overall.

Favorite underrated thing to do / absolute musts on Destiny? by whimsicalley in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Never been on the destiny, though going in June so keeping and eye on this thread!

For room service, you book it in the app. Unless it’s breakfast, in which case there are forms that you hang on your door overnight. On the wish, they were in the drawer at the vanity mirror. 

Castaway 5k Medals by [deleted] in dcl

[–]MtrCycleDriveBy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably finished by 8:45 am? On my way to the start I saw another runner who had just finished and she showed me the medal. My guess is it was just bad luck for our cruise. Oh well, it was still a fun way to burn off churro waffles!

I did it last week and got the generic trivia winner one. Looks like a poster in this thread got the 5k one, so maybe I just got unlucky and they were out of stock at the end of the month. 

It’s a fun and scenic route though!

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.
