Creator's Key Takeaways

I love these kinds of videos because I get to talk about the mistakes that I make when I'm on my trips and I get to warn you about the stuff that really threw me for a loop and surprised me on my previous trips that I just took.

The moral here, if something happens while you're on one of Disney's Aqua Coasters, stay where you are and wait until a crew member comes over to tell you what to do next.

Don't be that room. Before setting sail, everyone, and I mean everyone, is required to attend the mustard drill.

Overall though, this is your first time cruising with Disney, I wouldn't skip these rotational dining experiences if you can help it, just cuz they're cool and they're unique and they are all included.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a carry-on instead of checked luggage for easier access and peace of mind.
Use express walk-off to avoid crowds during disembarkation.
Double-check quick service and buffet dining hours on the Navigator app.
Request a booth when checking in for Palo Steakhouse for a better experience.
Bring thank you notes and extra cash to thank crew members who make your trip special.
