Creator's Key Takeaways

We've now visited the island three times with varying degrees of success due to weather.

We'd really recommend this and we'll definitely be doing it again next time we visit this island.

While this is a beautiful island, you really are at the mercy of the weather, and it can make or break your day.

The key thing to note though is that these do book up fast, so make sure to book as soon as your window opens.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book activities as soon as your window opens due to high demand.
βœ“Get off the ship early to secure your ideal beach spot.
βœ“Check the Disney Cruise Line app for kids' activities on the island.
βœ“Be prepared for weather changes that can affect your day.
βœ“Watch out for birds that may try to steal your food.

Weather affecting the day β€” Be prepared that it doesn't always go as planned; third visit was lucky with a glorious day.
Finding a spot on crowded beaches β€” Get off the ship early and get your ideal spot; it varies by ship size.
