Creator's Key Takeaways

I absolutely never thought I would go on a cruise. I thought I would hate every second of it. I was wrong.

The hype is real with Buc-ee's. Um I'm we're from the Northeast. We've always lived in Northeast. Uh so for us, it was awesome.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. I think that was one of the ones that really convinced us, okay, we better up our game with excursions.

It's such an amazing community when people do that kind of stuff for one another.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through Disney for peace of mind and refund protection.
Pack snacks and extra supplies for long excursion days.
Use packing cubes and organize clothes by day for kids.
Consider sailing out of Galveston for potentially better deals.
