Creator's Key Takeaways

I have four children with autism and we absolutely love Disney Cruise Line

The people that were more prepared had lists of things they wanted to do and generally got round more and had a bit more of a magical cruise

The guest services team in all of Disney, but especially on Disney Cruise Line are absolutely exceptional

Regulation matters far more than itineraries, and a calm child equals a better holiday for everybody

Creator's Tips & Advice

Select a midship stateroom for reduced motion
Prepare children with photos and videos of the ship before sailing
Contact guest services to request a private dining table at rotational dining
Arrive early on embarkation day to avoid travel stress
Use ear defenders during muster drill for children sensitive to noise
Utilize the accessibility area for deck parties if available

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Overwhelm from crowds and noiseUse ear defenders, arrive early, and retreat to the stateroom for breaks
Difficulty with queues for characters and activitiesLeave an adult in the queue, use planners for entertainment, and book royal gathering for princess meets
