Creator's Key Takeaways

We totally advise renting a stroller if you have little ones.

Don't carry the double stroller around. Don't do that. Rent the single strollers.

The check-in at Port Everglades is much faster and much smoother than it is at Port Canaveral.

If you are traveling on a Disney cruise ship and you're traveling with a stroller during peak times... I would advise taking the elevator down to go up.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rent single strollers instead of bringing a double stroller.
At the farewell party, don't line up early; go to the main level in the atrium.
Pay for parking at Port Everglades on the way out.
On Castaway Cay, activities are not pushed back if the ship docks late.
Bring all Key to the World cards when disembarking for ports of call.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Stroller logistics on the shipRent single strollers from the front desk; they are complimentary.
Character meet and greet timingDon't wait ahead of time; be on the main level during the farewell party.
Room booking with infantsYou need a five-person room even if the infant uses a pack and play.
