Creator's Key Takeaways

I was on a five night bohemian out of Fort Canaveral on the Disney Magic celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary.

I won't do Castaway again unless I can get a cabana. I might be ruined for life.

It was an efficient, easy process for us.

I loved it. I thought it was beautiful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not fly in the day of your cruise; arrive at least a day early.
Use the Disney Cruise Line app for check-in and have a screenshot of your QR code.
If driving, drop off your bags first before parking.
Consider staying at the Hyatt Regency at Orlando International Airport for a seamless experience.
