Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first trip ever to a Disney private island.

I think that might be my favorite thing I've done on this cruise so far.

This is more the animal kingdom version of a Caribbean island resort.

I would say for me now that I've done an itinerary that had both on it, it would be very hard for me to go on a cruise that only did one or the other.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get all the towels you need when getting off the boat.
โœ“Take the tram to save walking time.
โœ“Buy souvenirs early as inventory is limited.
โœ“Rent bikes early at Lookout Cay.
โœ“Grab oceanfront lounge chairs early on larger ships.

Long walk to tram at Lookout Cay with little kids โ€” Use complimentary wagons for little ones.
Limited inventory at gift shops โ€” Buy souvenirs early to avoid sizes selling out.
