I have a few questions... we are doing the Atlantis Dolphin Cay Shallow Water Interaction & Discover Atlantis (N47) with the Disney Cruise line.

My first question is does that include food? Every time I ask Disney Cruise line a question they don't really answer us.....

My second question is how much are the picture packages they take? We have 12 people in our group...do we each have to buy a separate package or can one of us buy all the pictures?

Last, does anyone know if u can see the aquarium and stuff with this package or what all you really can view?

My boys are ages 5 and 9....they don't go to the camp thing where they stay for the day normally (or when we go on Carnival) What is the hidden mickey thing?

IS there anything extra special you can do for the kids while on the boat, anything extra you can sign them up for like the extras at Disney world. I have two boys so I don't think the spa would work but just trying to make sure I am not missing anything that they would be doing that is hidden.

How would they know you were watching them from the balcony though? That don't make sense I don't see how its any different than watching it from the very top

Can you watch the fireworks from the balcony on the Disney Cruise? We got a balcony room thinking we could but I have read somewhere where they don't allow you to do that? Also the picture package is it worth buying the package do they take a lot of pics?

So do you recommend the Atlantis? Going to Nassau, Key West, and their private Island. We have 2 5 year olds a 9 year old and a one year old with us and then grandparents....really want to do the atlantis just want to make sure its worth the money with the water park.

We are going on our first Disney Cruise in January (20th) leaving out of Miami. I am worried about it being cold, we want to go to the Atlantis but I am troubled as to what to do. We are interested in water park or maybe even the dolphin encounter. Any tips would be helpful for someone who has been that time of the year if the water was too cold, Also I have read where we cant get on boat earlier than 1:30 now, has anyone went recently and got on the boat earlier?
