If you go to Cheesecake Factory to have your dinner, remember to buy for sharing. The portions are huge.

Actually not only there. All the portions in restaurants are huge by our std. Even the fast food meals. Always order to share (even in Disney and universal). Can always get more later if not enough. Save money and don't waste food.

Check out what you want to buy from Amazon and buy online when you reach there. Put name of hotel when you reach the hotel and have checked in.

You don't even need to do that only when you get there. You can buy while still in Singapore and have it delivered to your hotel so that it is there when you arrive. I have done it many times with diff hotels in diff cities. No problem at all. We'll need aqua shoes for this trip for DC, and it's much cheaper in the US. I'm ordering them for those in the family who don't already have it and it shd be waiting for us when we arrive. No need to wait to order only when you are there.

Hi, could you point me to the exact web page and the type of aqua shoes that you are getting? Also, do you know if there is such a thing as one-time camera that can be used underwater? Our existing camera is not waterproof. Thanks.

I have bought aqua shoes in Singapore for my son who does canoeing and they are very ex. Around SGD100, plus or minus. Singapore has less choices too. Only got the ex ones, but these brands also cheaper in US.

We have booked the premium package at DC and they will provide us with a kodak disposable waterproof camera among other stuff. Shd be able to get in Singapore. Otherwise, can order from Amazon too. :idea: Here is the link

Otherwise, I think DC may sell these at their gift shop too, but will be prob more ex.

Have you decided to go DC?

Have you decided to go DC?[/quote]Do you plan to do Sea venture if you go DC? I have booked that, thought it'll be a great experience. If you decide to do Sea Venture, you can borrow a camera from them to take the underwater pictures during the adventure. Then they will put the photos into a CD which you can then buy. But quite ex. I think around USD50 for the CD, but I am not too sure.

Thanks, Dnls_mum. We will be going DC but probably not doing the SeaVenture thingy…needs to be minimum 10 years old…DS not of age yet.

DD also too young. So she also cannot do sea venture. We'll prob split up and do it separately in twos so someone will be with DD at all times

Hi Dnls_mum, does the hotel charge a fee for having the items delivered to them?
If so, how much?

It is common for the Americans who drive to their holiday destination to send things to themselves at the hotel so that they don't have to carry all the stuff with them. They sometime travel on a budget and get groceries sent to themselves too.

Thanks, Dnls_mum!

Hi Dnls_mum,


Will Disney send anything to us prior to the trip for the package that we booked? Or do we only just bring the email confirmation?

For HardRock, it is just the email confirmation right?

Thanks.
