Creator's Key Takeaways

We went into Disney Cruise Line Facebook groups, pulled genuine questions from current and future cruisers, and gave our honest, unscripted answers.

You're going to be safe. Matter of fact, I would say you're probably in the safest spot to deal with a hurricane on board the ship.

We've never done fish extender groups... But we love to do pixie dusting. Our version of pixie dusting is we have pictures on our door and you can take one.

If you weren't able to secure a reservation for something you're wanting to try... make sure that you go to... the excursions desk... you'd be surprised how many times you can actually end up booking those... the day of embarkation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Disney gift cards purchased at Target or Sam's Club to save money.
Bring a reusable cup for drinks to reduce waste.
Book adult dining or excursions on embarkation day if you missed reservations.
Bring a lanyard for your key to the world card, especially on your first cruise.
If flying in the day of embarkation, take the earliest possible flight.

Getting charged for gratuitiesDisney automatically charges your card daily, but only after hitting a limit ($300 for under six nights, $500 for six or more).
Not having a lanyard for key cardBring your own lanyard, as first-time cruisers don't receive one; it's useful for carrying your key to the world card.
Missing out on reservations for dining or excursionsCheck for cancellations on embarkation day at the relevant desks; there's still plenty to do even without reservations.
