Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Hank’s Travels.

  1. Rope drop Conservation Station early to catch the Wildlife Express train before it potentially leaves early.

  2. Use mobile ordering at Satuli Canteen to save time.

  3. Take the back bridge from Africa to Pandora for a quicker route.

  4. Pick traditional dining instead of my time dining to avoid long lines and ensure a smoother entry into the dining room.

  5. Pre-purchase arcade credits in the Cruise Planner to save money.

  6. Explore the ship early in the morning to avoid crowds and learn your way around.

  7. Book your shows in the app as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss anything.

  8. Use the Pearl Cafe to avoid the madness of the buffets for breakfast.
