🚢 Everything I Wish I'd Known Before My First Disney Cruise

Creator's Key Takeaways
We're ready to embark our fifth Disney cruise on the Disney Fantasy this summer, which is quite exciting because we will leave the ship Gold Castaway Club members.
The first thing I wish I'd known before our first Disney cruise is that you can book directly through Disney, but it's not the only way you can book.
Room service breakfast is included in the price of your cruise on every morning other than the very last morning, which is debarcation day.
A placeholder is where you give a deposit for an upcoming cruise before you disembark the ship... you have 24 months from that date to sail on your next Disney Cruise and enjoy a massive 10% off.
