Creator's Key Takeaways

A Disney cruise is supposed to be one of the most magical, amazing, incredible experiences for you and your family.

The shows are insane. And case in point, we went to go see Beauty and the Beast when it toured in Dallas.

You don't have to do everything. Look ahead and see what is on board your ship. Figure out what is a priority to you and your family.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Fly in a day early to avoid flight cancellations and delays.
βœ“Board the ship as early as possible to enjoy a quiet ship and explore.
βœ“Book the free Royal Gathering character experience in advance as it sells out fast.
βœ“Use the Disney Cruise Line app and website simultaneously to avoid glitches when booking.
βœ“Decorate your stateroom door with magnets to participate in the community and potentially receive pixie dust.
βœ“Try specialty dining, specifically Palo Brunch, for high value.
