Creator's Key Takeaways

It was so wonderful being on such a small ship because it felt so intimate when we were on this beautiful ship and we are seeing the most beautiful scenery.

The lumberjack show was awesome. It was so fun. It was so engaging. It was incredible.

Layers are your friend. Make sure that you're packing for all kinds of weather because we had days that were really cold and we had days that were extremely warm.

If you have kids, you have to do Disney. There's just really nothing compared to the way that Disney knows what kids want and need and they deliver.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack layers for variable Alaskan weather
Divide and conquer for character meet-and-greets on Glacier Day
Book excursions early as they fill up quickly
Don't overschedule your day with multiple excursions
Bring extra socks for wet conditions
