Creator's Key Takeaways
A good disembarkcation starts the day before.
If you want to get photos that were taken by the cast members on board the cruise, you need to go and buy them.
You have to keep in mind that they have to turn the ship over because new people are boarding before noon, so they have to be really fast about it.
If you put your bags out the night before so that Disney transports them, there's going to be luggage tags that you will attach to them.
