Kids might not miss Animators as they could possibly eat there since they are not allowed in Palo's if on the same night.

What on the menu of Remy's was that bad. There was nothing that stood out to me a THAT different than what is served in the other locations just much better (Chicken, Fish, Lobster, Veal, Beef, Vegetables). Heck, if I could afford to eat there every night I would (except for the Animators night, it is a fun show for kids and Adults - I talked back more than the kids by us).

The kids would be free to eat at Animator's, even if you're up at Palo or Remy. Note that, if your rotation has you visiting Animator's more than once, only one visit will include the "show" with Crush and friends. IF your first visit to Animator's coincides with Pirate Night, they'll do the show on the second night you're there.

That is the opposite of me now.. Growing up in Nebraska, everyone considered me a very picky eater.. Turns out I just had a California cuisine taste (which helps now that I live in CA). I now will eat or at least try anything (NE was basically just meat, potatoes and canned veggies).

On the ship, I order almost one of everything on the menu (main and dessert) and then sample each one, finishing what I really like. I do the same at Palo's and Remy's, it is always fun watching the wait staff react that first night and try to fit all the dishes on the table especially, since our tablemates (traveled with them on the last 8 cruises) do the same thing as he taught me.

Question Need help

Trying to plan a cruise on the Dream next year however having never booked a cruise I'm unclear of what's included and what's extra. I want to have the best experience which means saving enough moola! I've looked on the DCL website but couldn't find specific prices! Ex, dinners,snacks,excursions,nite clubs, kids activities spa sessions etc.... Any help would be great!

All food and most non-alcoholic beverages are included in the price. Admission to night clubs, and kids activities are also included. Excursions, alcoholic beverages, and spa sessions are not included in the price. The Passporter Disney Cruise Line Guide does give a decent idea of pricing for the excursions and spa sessions.

I'm also going to be a first time cruiser.
Just rec'd my copy of the PassPorter Cruise book - and I've read it from "stem to stern" (already picking up the lingo).
Can honestly say it's an invaluable resource - as all my PassPorter books!
Really urge you to look into it.....
Happy cruising!

Kikilovely, you can't get in unless you're at least 13. Disney knows your age -- it's embedded into your Key to the World card. So no fooling them. Sorry!

Are the coolers in the rooms cold enough for diabetic medicine? Have a new diabetic and I am having a hard time remembering from our last cruise what the temperature in those things were.

Disney Cruise Line states that the refrigerators on the Dream and Fantasy are cold enough to store medications. I haven't measured that myself (recommended temperature for insulin is 35° - 45°F). I suggest, to be on the side of caution, that you bring an appropriate thermometer (should be available at any hardware store). If your fridge doesn't meet spec, call engineering to report the problem.

So if you skip your regular seating in the main dining and go to the alternative family site is it Buffet at night? If not which menu is it? If you go every night will it be the same?
