Creator's Key Takeaways

We're joined by returning fan-favorite guest CT (aka “Tin Foil Mouse Ears”) for a festive trip report from his recent adults-only Very Merrytime sailing aboard the Disney Magic out of Galveston!

We're eight time cruisers with DCL. We try to spread out as far as we can.

It departed on December 23rd, returned on I think the 29th.

Disney Cruise Line did not disappoint the very high bar that Disney does.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Tip crew members generously, especially during holiday sailings, as they are working away from their families.

✓Use magnets, not adhesives, to decorate your stateroom door.

✓Consider bringing small, collapsible Christmas trees for stateroom decor.

Booking pre-cruise activities and dining — It was very easy; got everything wanted due to fewer high-tier loyalty members on this sailing.

We’re joined by returning fan-favorite guest CT (aka “Tin Foil Mouse Ears”) for a festive trip report from his recent adults-only Very Merrytime sailing aboard the Disney Magic out of Galveston! CT and his wife cruised over Christmas, and he’s dishing on everything from pre-cruise planning and Galveston excursions, to their Palo brunch experience, a ghost tour, and their favorite moments onboard the Magic. From the unexpected quiet of sailing opposite the Disney Treasure’s fanfare, to spreading a little holiday joy with cast member gifts, this episode is a great reminder of why adult-only cruising with Disney still brings the pixie dust.
