Deck 5 vs. 8? Really big verandah! Party Time!- Dining onboard - <br> meal at Palo was excellent as was the food everywhere - very good - both Ian <br> and John were pleasantly surprised.- Animator's Palate <br> is a giant Turtle Talk in the round - very cool! Meal there was the best of <br> the rotating restaurants.- Living Artwork on <br> board - pictures come to life. Neat touch.- Secret/Magic <br> Porthole Rooms - we're so ready to stay in one. Even liked the layouts <br> better. High def screens are an effective illusion.- Skyline night <br> club - Huge monitors made to look like windows on the world. The menus there <br> also glowed - very easy to read in low light.- Mel wanted to <br> know about the tween areas - Edge- The Aquaduck - <br> John and Ian decided for seperate floats. All in all, not too scary despite <br> being "see-thru". John had issues getting out.- Fireworks show <br> onboard - only ship to be doing it right now.- We LOVE Castaway <br> Cay. Couldn't be nicer.- Take one for the <br> team - Senses Spa Cabana Massages &amp; Shave/Facial/Chair Massage. Ian snores. <br> Right around $100 - very reasonable.- Villains show was <br> funny, entertaining and very Broadway. Hades was a riot.- The Greycliff <br> Tour - Cigar Rolling and Rum Tasting - A two person tour. The wine cellar <br> was amazing. 260,000 bottles of wine - the third largest in the world. One <br> rack was worth over a MILLION DOLLARS alone.- Had dinner at <br> Senior Frogs - nice spot with a neat view of the harbor.- The challenges of <br> getting home. Ian got stuck in Orlando.- Other night clubs <br> - Pink, 687 SportsBar, Skyline, Evolution- The crazy <br> transporter bathroom near Evolution. The ceiling is a mirror. It's a cruise <br> ship bathroom time machine!- Every day, <br> there's a cocktail of the day on special.- Tons of <br> characters and character accessibility.- The coffee was <br> good! Very important to the Insider Live Staff- Soft Drinks were <br> free on board via the soda fountains on deck. This saves you a bunch of <br> money vs. a soda card.- We like how <br> gratuities are handled via ticket stubs and envelopes.- Ian saw the value <br> in the Disney Cruise Line and was looking to book once he got home for 2012.- John doesn't mind <br> cruising in January - 70 is better than 13.- INTERCOT Best of <br> Disney Dream... Ian says Castaway Cay. John liked his huge verandah and the <br> dinner at Palo.The Magic, <br> Memories and You.- Mel was <br> pleasantly suprised - not at all what she thought it would be. Runs between <br> parade and Wishes. Colors are incredible.- Use Photopass - <br> maybe you'll get on he castle.- Ian loves the <br> commercials as part of the ad campaign.- INTERCOT's Best <br> Of Disney Memories. John recalls sitting on Main Street USA alone watching <br> the Electrical Parade. Carol remembers her first trip to Disney and her son <br> was chosen to pull the sword from the stone. John also mentioned the "Son's <br> of Liberty." Ian has two - the Contemporary game room and Eticket nite &amp; no <br> one in Liberty Square. Mel gets some alone time with Aladdin.- Thanks to <br> everyone for sticking with us and thanks to Jason and the Disney Cruise Line <br> Public Relations department for inviting us to be onboard.
