Creator's Key Takeaways

Renting a car is the best way. We looked into Bright Line as well and it absolutely works for some people, but um if you have, you know, if you have more than a couple people, here's the pros for Bright Line.

Yes, you can request this. Um, now, will it happen? Possibly. It can't, you know, obviously with requests, you can't guarantee anything, but I would request put it on your reservation early and then at the port, request it again.

I think I would cut the Hollywood and vine dining. Wasn't that one of the choices as well?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy a one-day park ticket for a first-timer to have an epic day in the parks.
Rent a car for transportation between Fort Lauderdale and Walt Disney World.
Request specific dining servers multiple times: on reservation, at port, and on ship.
Cut the Rose and Crown fireworks package if you need to trim evening events.
