Creator's Key Takeaways

We almost didn't go back. Today, we're sharing exactly what changed and why we're about to sail that same ship again.

We just realized that, okay, for this to work, we're going to have to adapt a little bit and do it differently than what we initially anticipated.

Prioritize and be really honest with what your priorities are. Have that conversation with your partner.

Do thorough research on ship amenities, food options, and activities before booking.
Start with a shorter itinerary if you're new to cruising.
Have honest conversations with your travel partner about priorities and expectations.
Use your priorities to guide research and decide what you're willing to sacrifice.

YouTube Video Description

In this video, we’re sharing the honest story behind why we almost quit Disney Cruises — and what ultimately changed our minds. Our first experience with Disney Cruise Line wasn’t exactly what we expected, and for a while we weren’t sure it was the right type of vacation for us. But we did some reflecting and realized our part in things not going well. Now, not only are we cruising with Disney Cruise Line again, we’re about to sail on that same ship in just a few weeks. In this video, we talk about what didn’t click for us at first, what we see differently now, and why Disney cruising eventually became such a big part of our lives. If you’re planning your first Disney Cruise, wondering if Disney Cruise Line is worth it, or just curious what the Disney cruise experience is really like, we hope our story helps you decide. 👉 Subscribe to follow all four cruises we have booked in 2026 plus you never know when we might book a 5th! 👉 Comment below and tell us if you are booking a Disney Cruise in 2026? 👉 Stick around for more Disney Cruise Line vlogs!
