Creator's Key Takeaways

we have a great question from a listener in Canada about planning a day post-Disney Cruise and possibly using the free Water Park perk that is available in 2025

you can always almost always even as a first-time Cruiser get a veranda almost every sailing as long as you book within the first couple of months of release

I would definitely do Lake Buena Vista Golf Course because it's the most Disney course because you see a resort or Disney Springs from 15 of the 18 holes

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓For post-cruise day at WDW, consider using the free Water Park perk for 2025 even with one night stay
✓Book Lightning Lanes 7 days before check-in for split stays, but expect to book separately for each reservation
✓As a first-time cruiser, you can almost always find a veranda stateroom if booking within the first couple of months of release
✓For golf, recommend Lake Buena Vista course for its Disney views and resort atmosphere
