Creator's Key Takeaways

Sometimes the villain becomes the hero midway through the story and I think that just happened right there.

Disney is embarrassing with their technology.

The Magic was raining in the atrium for two days straight.

I finally started agreeing with everybody who said Disney has higher quality food in the main dining halls.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive at least one day before your cruise departure.
Go to True True One at Lookout Key for shorter lines.
Use the egg station at Cabanas for better breakfast options.
