Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm taking you through everything you need to know about imbarcation day. Everything you'll expect step by step, plus top tips for maximizing the magic as you set sail on your Disney cruise.

The peace of mind you're going to get by getting to the port the day before, allowing plenty of wiggle room for traffic or flight delays or whatever you may have to deal with, it's just going to let you set sail on your cruise feeling that much calmer.

If you take nothing else with you, I want you to double, triple, quadruple check your passports and travel documents because pretty much anything else you could buy, you could pick up, you could replace if it got lost or if you'd forgotten about it.

Once you step onto the ship and then the smell, the Disney cruise smell hits you in the face and it's amazing. You know you're back on board and my children go wild for it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive at the port the day before embarkation to reduce stress and account for delays.
βœ“Double-check passports and travel documents before leaving the house.
βœ“Complete the mandatory health questionnaire sent via email 24 hours before embarkation.
βœ“Use the welcome aboard lunch as your first meal on the ship for a special start.
βœ“Attend the muster drill on time and take it seriously for safety.
