Creator's Key Takeaways

The rainforest room we did the weeklong package... I think it was 119 for this particular sailing... I will do on every Disney cruise that I do.

The walkway really wasn't all that bad. The tram ride is nice... I'd rather have the walk than the tendering any day of the week.

Find what's going to make you the most happy... It's what you put into it that's what you're going to get out of it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a split stay to utilize water park options on check-in day.

✓Pack patient pants and get ice cream on deck 11 as soon as you board.

✓Do the rainforest room for relaxation; it's worth the cost.

✓Take the stairs on the ship for exercise and to avoid elevator waits.

✓Go to the sit-down breakfast on debarkation day to say goodbye to your servers.

Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-sdg6e-1852d9b Today we are headed down to Louisiana to speak with Listener Stephen about his amazing trip to Walt Disney World and his first cruise on today's show! They spent the Mardi Gras break with a group of 14 road-tripping to Florida, with a split-stay at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to start the trip! Then, they headed over to Port Canaveral to board the Disney Fantasy for their first cruise experience as a family of 5! Hear about tastings, dining in each restaurant, character interactions, kids' clubs, trivia, Palo Brunch, missing Castaway Cay, and much more!
