We are going on the 7 day western carribean cruise in January to Key West, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. What are the better excursions OR which ones should we stay away from?Disney Cruise Line Excursions?
We literally just finshed with this Disney 7-day Western Casribbean itinerary. There are just tons of shore excursions, and a lot of this answer depends on what you want to do -- relax? tour the islands? do sports? have adventures? Also, since you're taking a Disney cruise, what age(s) are your child(ren)? Disney's excursions are divided into ages and difficulty levels to help determine if your party can enjoy the excursion. This was our 1st time to Key West, so we took the Conch/Trolley train tour. We brought our 4-year-old, who slept the whole time (kinda a waste of $$). The tour was good, but maybe we should've done something a bit more exciting. My brother said the pirate museum was good, as was the aquarium (but lots of city's have good ones) and the butterfly exhibit was good, too. This was our 2nd visit to Cozumel, and again, we tailored the excursion to our 4-year-old, so we did the Ocean View Explorer visiting the coral reef right along the shore of Cozumel. Many of the shore activites, including snorkelling, diving, submarine, etc., visit this same coral reef. If you like the idea of seeing some undersea life, any of these are great. But honestly, Cozumel has a nice shopping strip (bargain -- do NOT pay the first price they give you!) if you don't want to pay Disney's high prices for excursions. This was also our 2nd trip to Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman is an expensive island (unlike Cozumel), so in all honesty, don't pay for Disney's excursions here. Just take a tender (boat) from the cruise ship to the dock and talk to the folks at the end of the peir hawking tours. Everybody speaks English (it's a British island), everybody takes dollars, and you can negotiate a MUCH better price. Check out the list of excursions that Disney sends you in your "Travel Kit", decide what you want, then negotiate for it at the pier. Just be back by the time the cruise ship sails or your vacation will be wrecked. In Cayman, 7-mile beach is gorgeous, the turtle farm is neat, Stingyray City is neat, all are worth seeing. The shopping is expensive; unless you want a t-shirt from Grand Cayman, buy your souvenirs in Cozumel.
Hope that helps! Have an awesome trip!!!!!!
i don't know what the good excursions are. But I can give you a tip on booking them. Either book them before your cruise. Or the first day of your cruise. Otherwise they will be all filled up

Should i go to Disney world florida or Disney cruise line?
Well I have been to both, and they are both amazing and you would never regret either one! If you want to be rested and just relax i would say this Disney Cruise. They are very accomdating, friendly, and there are things to do for all ages of the family! Show, Dining, Clubs you name it! But, if you are on a roll and want to go out and explore then go to Disney World; There is alot to see, do and you will need a week to do it all. If you stil' can't decide then I suggest The 7 day/night land and sea combo. You are in Disney for about 3 days and then your on the ship for 4. It's beautiful, wounderful, and you can get "two" vacations in the same one! The disney cast members are very accomdating and there are disney cruise line busses that will pick you up from your hotel. (you will just have to check in and find out more with concierge when you get to your hotel). Any three of the options would suite you, it just depends on what your desire is! Good Luck and have a magical vacation wherever disney brings you!Should i go to Disney world florida or Disney cruise line?
Disney offers a package deal that is both. We have done both. Disney world is fabulous and so are their cruise lines.
disNey worLd 1st than reLax on tHe disNey cruIse on yoUr next vacAtion :)Should i go to Disney world florida or Disney cruise line?
disney cruise line definately its more expensive but its worth it
Go cruising! DIsney World is overpriced in itself as well as the food and surrounding hotels. A cruise allows you to have a few vacations in one because of the different ports of call. Also a cruise package usually includes all the food (all you can eat) and includes the hotel room and the different amenities,activities and shows on the ship. I've heard the Disney cruises are very nice for adults as well as a lot of fun for the kids. So in the end the price is nicer. I just went on a cruise two weeks ago and it was really nice. The only thing that you'll propbably end up paying for is excusions on the port of call (and thats optional) you can always hang out at the beach for free :)
If you have never been to Disney World before, I suggest you go there. There is so much to see and do, it will take you days to get through all of it. The cruise is very nice for people that have done all the parks at Disney. Good luck!mbusa dmv nc

Disney cruise line photos online?
Is there anyway I could view the photos from my disney cruise online?
We did not have time to purchase them on the cruise, and one of my friends told us that we could do it online. But I can't find where.
It was the Disney Wonder to Alaska, in case you were wondering.Disney cruise line photos online?
that is not true. if the pictures are not purchased then they are trashed at the end of the cruise. when pictures are taken of you on the boat, they dont have your name on them. typically you have to find your pictures and THEN you scan them onto a computer where you would then chose the ones you would like to purchase. they have no idea who these pix belong to so they would never b saved unless you purchased a picture package PRIOR to your cruise where you pay for all pix at a very expensive price. :/ sorry

Can you add Dining Plan to 2008 Disney cruise line Land/Sea package?
I just read on disboard.com that you can now add the dining plan to the cruise line land/sea package. Is this true? Is it a good deal?
This is what disboards said:
2008 DISNEY DINING PLAN ADD-ON
For $37.99 per night per person for guests ages 10 and up and $9.99 per night per person for guests ages 3 - 9, you can now add on the Disney Dining Plan during your land stayCan you add Dining Plan to 2008 Disney cruise line Land/Sea package?
You are correct, you can now add the dining plan on to land and sea packages. It is great because that was a measure downside to doing the land and sea package.
The dining plan is a great deal, especially this year when truly everything is included. This year you get one table service, counter service and snack point per day of the dining plan. Everything is pretty much included in those meals, including drinks (other than alcohol) and tip. Next year they are changing a few things. For example, some restaurants (I don't know how many, from what I have read so far it looks like quite a few) will no longer be including tip, so you will have to pay for that (18% of your bill) Also, appetizers are no longer included, some restaurants will allow you to switch your dessert for an appetizer but not all. Finally, the snack is supposedly going to be a little more limited next year. However, from what I am reading this will only be certain places that you get snacks, others will pretty much be the same as this year.
Even though you are losing quite a bit next year, and the price only went down a dollar per person, it should still really be a great deal.
With a land and sea package you are only able to add on the standard dining plan, the deluxe dining plan will not be an option.
You are only allowed to add the dining plan on to the days that are a part of the actual land and sea. The extra days you add on do not qualify for the dining plan. So, if you are doing the 3 night land and 4 night sea cruise, you can only get the dining plan for three nights on land. Any extra days you cannot add the plan on and of those days you must have the dining plan on each day, it must be included for all three nights.... Does that make since?
Hope this helps, feel free to e-mail if I need to clarify anything.
Yes! It is true! And it's totally worth it! It will save you money in the end! Disney dining allows you one counter service, one sit down service and one snack for each person for the the amount of days on your tickets. I think it is a great option, and takes alot of guess work out things for you, and you can just feel at ease.Can you add Dining Plan to 2008 Disney cruise line Land/Sea package?
yes--definately do it save some big bucks~~~~
