We took our first Disney Cruise last summer . . . A few cool pixie dust things happened.

- I set up a meet and greet for everyone that was going. One of the concierge guests that had a cabana asked us if we wanted it. Of course. Very, very nice.

- My 6-year old and I did the Midship Detective Agency. At the end, Peter Pan jumped out and spent about 5 minutes with us.

- The Captain came up to us in the dining room. I took that opportunity to get a picture. He asked was the cruise perfect. I said yes, except for one minor thing. He asked what it was and I told him it was minor and he didn't need to be engaged. He insisted. Essentially, one of our wave phones wasn't working. After a couple of trips to guest services, we essentially had to buy a new wave phone (long story, but I wasn't going to waste any more time trying to fix it). In 30 minutes, we had a new working wave phone delivered to our room. The charge was deleted. AND there were presents delivered every day to our room with a personal note of apology. I don't like to make a big deal of these things, but they took a minor negative and turned it into a big, big positive.

Shmoo,

 

How much is the personal meet and great with Mickey and Minnie?

I arranged a group meet and greet on the Dream Back in July. In working with Disney on the logistics, we could have a character come for 30 minutes for $500 (if my memory serves me correctly). I didn't pursue it any further as i5 seemed a little pricey for our 45 minute get together.
