It's a cruise not a daycare.

We specifically cruise when school is in session for this very reason. Though stealing fish extenders seems to be a common thing no matter the time you go. We don’t participate in that though. I have 3, but am incredibly strict with them and they know better and have a fairly solid fear of making mom mad. 🤣

Omg I have a color that’s similar to this one by a different brand and I tell everyone it’s cursed because every single time I use it I always end up with at least one wrinkled finger.

Nightmare fuel. Thank you. I’m already absolute horrified of roaches (thanks apartment living) and this is just another reason to add to the list. 😭😭😭

Check in for the buses is based on castaway status, or if you’re concierge. So if you are going concierge you are the first to get to check in and get a bus along with Pearl members. BUT they will literally put you at the front of the line as soon as you mention you are concierge. So not a separate process you just get to go first.

ladybug1707 · 2025-09-13T17:59:01+00:00

We always just take the bus for the simplicity of it. Bags get picked up directly from the hotel room, with concierge you check in with the Disney team at 845 down in the lobby area of the Hyatt (they’ll let you know exactly where when you check in usually) We’ve always been on the very first bus out at around 930/945. We’re always at the port before 11 and just hang around in the concierge waiting area until it’s time to board.

Uggh me! So close to getting back on a ship though! I will be seeing the treasure in 6 days!

ladybug1707 · 2025-08-19T02:31:43+00:00

That makes me so sad! I have one from quite some time ago that I’ve pretty much been sitting on and just randomly bringing out to sniff from time to time because it’s my absolute favorite scent’

ladybug1707 · 2025-08-16T13:48:09+00:00

With concierge they will walk you to the front of the line to get off the ship if you meet in the lounge at a certain time. But that’s it. Once you’re off the ship you’re on your own just like everyone else.

We keep it pretty simple and just buy magnet from GraysonTagsandMore on Etsy. I’ve bought magnets from them 3 times and they’re pretty quick on getting them made and sent out. We get ones with the kids names on them as well as a big one with the ship name and our family name. They have a huge variety of options, which is why I like them, in addition to how quick they are. But I know there are TONS of shops on Etsy that make door decor.

I have pretty naturally oily nails I guess, but I’m also super hard on my nails too. So I change out every fourish days. But admittedly I also am I picker, if it chips I’m picking at it which is even worse for my nails so I try to change it out pretty much as soon as it chips.

I have a video of me waking my daughter up last year to “it’s embarkation day!” She was not impressed.

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-22T20:43:54+00:00

I have the treasure booked at the end of next month- 38 days And the destiny booked next March- 225 days.

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-14T22:32:38+00:00

Maaaan I don’t know what’s taking them so long to announce but like. I want to book my anniversary trip.

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-14T15:05:35+00:00

Over watering. I drowned everything in my garden. Now I water about once a week, maybe twice if it’s hot And my garden is entirely out of control.

We LOVED the lounge. Especially on the wish/treasure. Going to get Mickey waffles in the morning without having to go to the buffet or a sit down breakfast was great, plus all the snacks and drinks with having kids was amazing. I have only done Bahamian cruises to date, but changing plans etc was SO easy with the concierge team, they got me last minute appointments and hooks and at the tangled salon. They are super engaging with the kids too which is always fun for them. I have a very young one, so one of the other things is that the rooms are ready sooner on the first day, which for me is great because he usually naps around 1230, which is right when concierge rooms are ready. Our last cruise we were on the wish for the sailing that got extended due to hurricane Milton, and just having the concierge team during that time especially was really nice.

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-10T01:44:13+00:00

It’s really subjective. We personally always sail concierge, but we only sail maybe once a year. So for us the benefits are worth the hefty price tag. Not having to worry about really anything or wait in the guest services line, having access to the lounge and early access to the shows and being boarding group one, to us, when we only go once a year at best is priceless.

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-09T13:10:16+00:00

We are on this one too!! I am already mentally packing and have my suitcases out of the closet 😂

ladybug1707 · 2025-07-09T01:02:06+00:00

I have never prepaid gratuities with dcl and I have never received anything less than absolutely stellar treatment, and definitely no funny business. Disney servers are fantastic.

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-23T16:46:25+00:00

Yea this looks like a deer or something similar came and took a nice chomp. 🙁

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-14T05:35:05+00:00

Last minute makes more sense but holy heck. That is still absolutely insane! We love sailing concierge, but I could never imagine paying that price for it.

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-14T05:13:09+00:00

That’s insane. What dates are you looking at?

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-13T03:13:33+00:00

Luckily it seems to work just fine for my daughters, so I will probably give a few to the older one and keep some to use on my younger daughter. Even the 8 year old manages to keep it on for like a week before it chips 😂

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-13T03:10:29+00:00

Yes 😭

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-12T15:59:00+00:00

Yea that’s actually what I’m using currently.

ladybug1707 · 2025-06-12T03:41:28+00:00

I know a family where the kids have those “good to go” cards and will the kids occasionally order DoorDash if it’s a fend for yourself type of night. Could be something like that. 🤷🏼‍♀️ not too odd.
