Inside, Ocean View, Verandah or Concierge... Decisions, decisions! Questions that just about everyone who wants to book a cruise asks when choosing their Disney Cruise stateroom are:  1.  Should we get  a balcony? 2. How bad is an inside stateroom ? 3. Is location that important? 4. Whats the best location for the cost? Unfortunately, there are no cut and dry answers and the biggest factor in this decision will be your family's own personal preferences and budget... but let's see if I can help you out! Disney Treasure Inside Stateroom Disney Cruise Line has four main stateroom categories: 1. Inside – The most affordable, and some even feature a "magical porthole" (screen) with a live video feed of the ocean and surprise Disney character appearances. 2. Oceanview – Includes a large porthole window (some have two small ones) for natural light without paying for a balcony. 3. Verandah (What Disney calls their balcony) – Perfect for morning coffee, sunrise/sunset ...

When it comes to dinner, the seating time that you should select for your Disney Cruise is the one that works best for your family. Let's look at the pros and cons of both early and late dining and hopefully that will help you decide! Your show time in the main theater will be based on your dinner seating, so the schedule will work like this: First dinner seating starts at 5:45pm, and goes to the theater for their show at 8:30pm. Second seating will go to their show first, and have dinner at 8:15p.m. Many families with small children find the  second seating to be too late for little ones  to be eating, and they end up selecting the first seating. As a result, second seating typically is easier to get into, and has fewer children in the dining room . This also means that the  Oceaneer's Club tends to have their activities based on the schedule of the earlier dinner .  That's not to say that your children cannot attend if you are in the second seating, ...

Happy 2018, Disney Fans!!      The year decided to welcome itself with freezing temperatures all over the United States, INCLUDING here in Orlando, where it is currently in the high 30's! Brrrrrr!!! Hey, Elsa... the cold may not bother YOU, but it bothers US! Go back to Arendelle!       Well, it's a new year, so let's talk about staying healthy at Disney. Seriously. Ok, ok... I know I blog a lot about high calorie, sugary, salty or deep fried concoctions that you can snack on in the parks. Disney is, after all, a magical world. A world full of fun, adventure, entertainment, and yes, FOOD. And even though the Cast Members make jokes about it, the calories DO, in fact, count on vacation. The good news is, Guests walk a LOT at Disney, and that should help combat some of those indulgent desserts and savory sauces. But if you're more of the healthy eating type, OR if you have some New Year's resolutions that you're trying to stick to, a trip to Disn...

Happy Holidays, Disney Fans!!!!      So by this point in December, I am sure you are so full of holiday cheer, you could BUST! And maybe, if you've been  really  good this year, Santa will be bringing you a little MagicBand, putting you at the top of all of the best FastPass+ lists, and getting you hooked up with ALL of the best Disney dining reservations. (And if not, no worries... the crew here at Kingdom Konsultant Travel have got you covered!)       Here, in Orlando, my fam is psyched to get to enjoy all of the holiday fun that the parks have to offer... BUT... we know what comes with it. The price that we pay for getting to celebrate at Disney.... CROWDS. We are about to roll into some of the busiest weeks of the calendar year for the Disney parks and I thought it may be helpful to cover what some of my favorite things to do are when the crowds are big. So whether you are an Annual Passholder, looking for a break from the out-of...
