Creator's Key Takeaways

Today, we get to talk about Disney Cruise Line platinum benefits for somebody who is hitting platinum for the very first time.

Lightning Lane at Disneyland is amazing cuz it doesn't start working till you walk through the touch points.

I would not buy park tickets this trip. You're down there to just soak up the sun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use your Platinum benefit for Palo brunch instead of dinner by informing your waitstaff.
โœ“Buy internet packages day-by-day for specific needs during a cruise.
โœ“End a Walt Disney World trip with Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic if you have Extended Evening Hours.
โœ“Consider a resort-only trip to relax and avoid park stress.
