Creator's Key Takeaways

So, prepare early. Go ahead and I would say do it now if you haven't already.

Yes, we are those weird people that if our check-in becomes available at midnight, we are setting an our alarm and we are getting up, if not staying up, to do our check-in early so that we can be on board as early as possible.

I don't want to be dealing with a bunch of bags, a bunch of people, and limited space.

I promise you, all those crowds will dissipate.
