Creator's Key Takeaways

The level of service is so much higher than what you get even in the parks.

If you see something that you really love and it's October and you're there and you're thinking, 'Oh, this is one of those I would get it.' Because they don't restock the Christmas stuff very often.

The reason that the service is feel so magical on the ship is because the cast members kind of have access to information to make it magical.

I would love to see Disney take some of that and bring it into the parks through the use of the technology that they have.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book table service reservations in advance as popular spots fill up fast.
Check for hotel discounts even if you've already booked, as you can often call to apply them.
For shoes, consider Hoka, New Balance 880s, or Croc sandals for rainy days.
If you have a Lightning Lane experience redemption, check the app to see if it can be used at a different park or day.
