Creator's Key Takeaways
I am currently sitting on, let's see, the Disney Magic. I think you can see right there. And we are boarding into Cozumel as we speak.
One of the ways we work around some of those challenges is we definitely bring snacks with us.
You can order off menu for your children. And I seriously mean that.
I definitely prefer a smaller ship with tiny humans.
