Just booked our first Disney Cruise. Can anyone give insights to the DCL subscription on Touring Plans?

6:18pm on 6/26/26 by ebcooper

Look at the Forum, which has a DCL section with lots of knowledgeable people.

7:20pm on 6/26/26 by Ali Ababwa

I like reading the unofficial DCL book but there's nothing really from subscription. I ended up mostly asking questions on here as I get lost in the forum. What ship/ itinerary are you doing?

26 min ago by hodg

@ebcooper, if you want to look at the forum, at the top of the page you can choose your category. Just set that to DCL and all threads (latest top) will be there. You can also search that thread only if you want. Pictures are there too,

Finally made it to MCO Hyatt, left home more than 33 hours ago. May as well start our Shenkel list. 1. First time one of our bags didn't arrive, lucky I put pjs in my carryon. 2. First stay at MCO Hyatt, convenient with all the delays today.

"Welcome!" As Epcot music from around the world and firework is heard and seen:)...

6:34am on 6/14/26 by vmorrison63

All shout Hooray! Looking forward to your shenkel.

6:41am on 6/14/26 by Magicalday2011

https://youtube.com/shorts/8rVBHV6yFso?si=Sv4FA_enMYo-McJv I think this everytime I hear welcome home now. ET was the best ride at Uni by far.

8:05am on 6/14/26 by popupcamper

Have a great time!

8:17am on 6/14/26 by goofygrandpa

Thanks all, having a slow start today after our super late arrival last night.

8:55am on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Welcome back home! How long will your trip be in the bubble? Maybe our paths will cross:) we are in the bubble starting 6/27

9:29am on 6/14/26 by IMarriedMyEllie

Woohoo!

9:56am on 6/14/26 by JJT (staff)

Welcome home! Sorry about the luggage- hoping you get it soon! May the rest of your trip be smooth!

11:22am on 6/14/26 by Tinkerminnie

Welcome home! Can't wait to follow your trip!

11:42am on 6/14/26 by MicheleandtheBeast

@IMarriedMyEllie we will still be here then, we fly home on the 3rd.

12:33pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

@Tinker luckily we have an owners locker and my Amazon sunscreen delivery just arrived, so I'll be fine.

12:36pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Are you going to any of the World Cup matches? Have a great trip! Will miss you by 70 days :)

3:25pm on 6/14/26 by jules_fletch

No we're not going to any of the games @jules. Maybe we'll catch up with you next time.

4:20pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

3. First stay at POFQ and in fact any moderate, such a nice resort and the CMs are lovely. 4. Beignets, nice but filling. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZlv5cykbLEvzPXb2Jx6Dd5FRtRwtpk9i7l0aU0/?igsh=MXVtcjN2eDN6aml4YQ==

10:34pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

Looks promising for suitcase arrival tomorrow.

10:35pm on 6/14/26 by LandDownUnder

5. Muppets RnRC, I liked it. 6. Boatwrights, really good food, mediocre drinks. 7. Scat Cat's, also not the best drinks sadly but our server was nice. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZoHarwEY4JywQbUG6xk3CUbef2HWUmRfT1dZM0/?igsh=ZHV4b2RxdThhOHF3

8:37pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

Also, my suitcase arrived today which was exciting.

8:39pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

You can can fill it with beignets for the trip home now!

8:51pm on 6/15/26 by JJT (staff)

No doubt we'll manage to fill it with all sorts of goodies. We have a full carryon of Aussie chocolates, alcohol and other treats for friends we catch up with while we're here, which gives us lots of space for purchases!

9:32pm on 6/15/26 by LandDownUnder

So glad you got your luggage! I haven't visited Scat Cat in years, shame the drinks weren't great. I feel like some lounges don't have the variety anymore. We are here till Saturday. Maybe we can catch up again.

6:33am on 6/16/26 by youcanfly

@youcanfly, that would be fun.

6:14pm on 6/16/26 by LandDownUnder

The chocolate martini was fab back in December. If you drop into Scat Cat again - give it a try!

7:46pm on 6/16/26 by gatomiller

8. Wolfgang Puck, really good bruschetta and nice drinks. Also did the new Buzz and BTMR, both fun improvements. Lots of places effected by power outage at DS. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZrBl0yjTkZxDkwfGDNnTgJWHa_3qazvfxWlWs0/?igsh=NWtiY2drb2QwYzhl

11:47pm on 6/16/26 by LandDownUnder

That popup rain was intense with lightning! We were running to get to CR. Took a while for monorail and smaller boats like the one for CR/WL to start back. Tonight we have a whiskey tasting & dinner thing at Polite Pig and trying to do the 1am MK closing

9:47am on 6/17/26 by youcanfly

We were lucky we were in our room getting ready to go to DS when the storm started so we just waited it out. We'll be at HS AH tonight. Enjoy Polite Pig, we keep meaning to try it but haven't got there yet.

10:19am on 6/17/26 by LandDownUnder

Thanks, yall have fun. I've booked the last HS AH in September. Look forward to hearing how it goes. For the price for this thing tonight at PP i hope it's fantastic.

10:40am on 6/17/26 by youcanfly

9. Gaston's tavern, not sure why we've never made it there before, was a good place to cool off. HS after hours was good last night too. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZwLLBdjSIgmtMWi-wR3pg1nUtTVHEW72--cX00/?igsh=ZDl3ejFraXR2NjV6

11:43pm on 6/18/26 by LandDownUnder

10. GEO-82, expensive but really good food and drinks. 11. Martha's Vineyard, decent. Moved to BWV yesterday and ran into @youcanfly and her DH. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ1MIbrEZtGIty6idto2NWKuryjGaQwCPLdtwA0/?igsh=MWJobTZ5b2phYWRlag==

No pic of @youcan but I spy @LT!

9:17am on 6/21/26 by evamarie320

I rarely remember to get a pic with @youcan. We had fun hanging out with @LT.

10:47am on 6/21/26 by LandDownUnder

Yes, I completely forgot too. I hadn't seen @LT in years so it was nice to see your pictures.

4:24pm on 6/21/26 by youcanfly

12. AP lounge in Epcot, great place to escape the heat. https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ6aPISkX7pyhpgFBDOkqbaZ39rYYyLqr-Kj0w0/?igsh=MWI0M3JxbzQ1dWNoNg==

Enjoy that Grand Villa!

9:29am on 6/25/26 by youcanfly

Oh cool you met up with...twinkle toes? I can't remember her liner name. Famous for high heels in park, baking macarons, and joining Club33. Enjoy!

9:54am on 6/25/26 by evamarie320

@eva yep she's @ladysparkleshoes

1:35pm on 6/25/26 by LandDownUnder

As the lovely Quantus castmembers said to us after we missed our flight from Sydney en route to Canberra, "No worries, mate!" Welcome and have a wonderful time!!!

5:47pm on 6/26/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

@hodg we booked it and have friends staying with us. There are 5 of us here for 4 nights.

11:46pm on 6/26/26 by LandDownUnder

That's fantastic! Enjoy

For a rainy and hot trip (next week), are there any sandals that are both comfortable and waterproof? I hate wet feet. I have shoe covers, but they get your feet so sweaty in the heat. Please share what has worked for y'all!

9:53am on 6/26/26 by sivako4750

collapse thread

The problem with most sandals is the absence of arch support will result in tired sore feet more quickly. Look at Tevas.

10:32am on 6/26/26 by Ali Ababwa

For rainy days, I always wear Tevas.

10:33am on 6/26/26 by HeiGirlHei

I like my Teva's. They are sturdy and supportive. I also like Crocs. Years ago I would carry crocs with me, but that was when we had a stroller and storage room.

10:35am on 6/26/26 by MrsNesbitt05

I wear keen whisper and Tevas. I switch my shoes each day.

10:39am on 6/26/26 by simba77

Tevas here too.

10:56am on 6/26/26 by jenc45

Be sure to select the more expensive Tevas with wide straps. I have a less-expensive cuter pair of women's Tevas with narrow straps and they lack arch support and slice into my feet like most narrow-strap sandals.

12:04pm on 6/26/26 by Ali Ababwa

Looks like I'll be shopping for Tevas today! Thanks everyone

12:20pm on 6/26/26 by sivako4750

I have a waterproof pair of my normal park sandals and wear them sometimes even heavy rain is predicted. https://a.co/d/0cd98gOW

I live in Crocs sandals in Disney

1:14pm on 6/26/26 by LaurenInWonderland

I love a good @Fatty Amazon link!!!

1:15pm on 6/26/26 by jbreen25

Yay crocs. Yesterday im I accidentally left the house wearing my Eeyore crocs. (I dont normally do that.) was driving and looked down and was like OOOP.

1:23pm on 6/26/26 by Totsypooh

My DD31 just bought new Tevas. Arch support. Unlike older style. I'm a Keens Newport woman. Flat is good for me. Sometimes with socks in the evening

1:23pm on 6/26/26 by Magicalday2011

Yes crocks in my backpack

1:48pm on 6/26/26 by burfe1501

Keens, both H2Os and Rose sandals

2:40pm on 6/26/26 by Elaine5715

Big FitFlop fan here for comfort, but they have never been great in the rain. Just got the water resistant Hykers on sale and am hopeful they will be better for summer rain. Not the cutest sandal but definitely super supportive and comfy.

4:31pm on 6/26/26 by CitrusSwirlGirl

For reference, I battle collapsed arches and bunions.

LOL @fatty. Those are quite something.

6:43pm on 6/26/26 by sivako4750

We're at Tokyo Disney Resort now and it's been raining the past 3 days. Dh and I have been wearing Keens (Newport I think?) which dry nicely overnight without newspaper.

2:19am by KLuck

I love fitflops too- have a pair with webbing crisscross straps which are good in waterparks/wet days. Not the regular leather ones in water tho.

NDR but aulani question -- Have never been without kids, but will be there for 2 days this september. When we went with kids at spring break, the chairs were a nightmare. Anyone have any idea how hard it is to get a seat around the adult pool?

5:43pm on 6/26/26 by VikeQueen

We had no problem whatsoever last December! The main pool was mobbed yet there was plenty of space at the adult pool. I'm so happy we had that option!

2:21am by KLuck

Anyone else feel nauseous and sick after a ride after the speedway after magic kingdom

7:01pm on 6/26/26 by WorldTraveler34

Yes it's the fumes

8:09pm on 6/26/26 by mnfc

Yes, after. Always after.

8:54pm on 6/26/26 by trishr.

Nope.

11:32pm on 6/26/26 by sragne

Are we talking about before or after?

12:34am by Fatty McButterpants

DAS- my kiddo did the live video chat and the Disney agent sent some guides/pdfs but how do we know if they were approved prior to going to a park?

7:26pm on 6/26/26 by MagicbandsandMickeybars

...view 2 more comments

Thanks, I reviewed the chat log but it doesn't say yes or no-just some pdfs. Strange!

8:09pm on 6/26/26 by MagicbandsandMickeybars

Sounds like if they sent you "guides" then you weren't approved. But could be mistaken. Good idea to follow up.

10:05pm on 6/26/26 by melodicwords

I would follow up, but we tried to apply for DAS for my daughter with migraines and they sent us the PDF's when we did not qualify. Good luck either way.

11:37pm on 6/26/26 by MrsNesbitt05

Saw a lot of recommendations to bring hydration packs for water on the trip. What ones do you recommend? We want to try some before we go and make sure we like them. Don't want ones with caffeine as would be sharing with the kids. TIA!

11:22pm on 6/26/26 by tlrg4488

I haven't found any of those hydration powders that taste good. I would instead get Mio drops or Crystal Light.

11:33pm on 6/26/26 by Elaine5715

I like liquid IV and LMNT. The second is very salty, so can be tough for picky pallets, but the grapefruit one is pretty tasty.

11:33pm on 6/26/26 by MrsNesbitt05

I like liquid IV. My kids don't love it, but they tolerate it. I won't put it in my actual reusable water bottle, I just mix it in with a disposable water bottle. Definitely helps especially if I'm feeling nauseous.

11:34pm on 6/26/26 by undone73

Just an FYI - I followed the directions posted by TP for making a room request through the chat feature and the reply I just got said they have no way to add requests to the resort system from the internet help desk. They said they will reach out to guest

5:53pm on 6/26/26 by undone73

services to relay my request. I'm still waiting for them to come back into the chat, so I guess we'll see. Just wanted to share my experience. I guess I will email the request as well and see what happens. Using the exact same verbiage.

5:55pm on 6/26/26 by undone73

By chat feature I mean in MDE. I'm using my laptop not the app

5:56pm on 6/26/26 by undone73

Keep us posted

6:53pm on 6/26/26 by JenniferB1975

Chat person replied that customer service was adding the request to my reservation. No way to know for sure I guess. I did save a transcript of the chat. I know there are no guarantees regardless. Guess we'll see what happens.

11:32pm on 6/26/26 by undone73

"What's cookin'?" Not me! I'm going to pick up some delicious New York style pizza on my way home. I'll add a quick salad to go along with it. Let's see what your dinner plans are for tonight.

Wild salmon, jasmine rice, and sauteed spinach from our CSA share.

Make your own pizzas and Kool-Aid. Snickers ice cream bars for dessert.

Ate at the Red Raven in Williams, AZ.

Is there a way to add an unusual celebration to your resort reservation? Online they give you a few very specific options. I want to add that we are celebrating our first trip as empty nesters. It's just for fun really.

6:26pm on 6/25/26 by monorailsandmagic

Thank you everyone! I wouldn't expect anything from it. Since Disney asks if you're celebrating when you book your trip, I was just wondering.

8:19pm on 6/26/26 by monorailsandmagic

@Monorail, that's just a gimmick. gets people excited and then they get a button

10:53pm on 6/26/26 by Elaine5715

@monorail Congrats!! I'm a year in to the empty nester life and I love it. What a great way to celebrate!!
