Creator's Key Takeaways

Disney Cruise Line is just the best product the Disney company has to offer and I just I love it so much.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't try to do everything or follow every influencer's itinerary; it's okay to not have a plan for every hour.

✓If traveling with toddlers, aim for age 3 and out of diapers to fully utilize kids' clubs.

✓When booking Royal Gathering, be ready at midnight exactly 30 days before your cruise.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Trying to do too much — Don't feel like the cruise is a failure if you don't do everything; relax and enjoy the vacation.

Fish Extenders — Don't let it become a burden on your first trip; focus on learning the ship first.

Age requirements for kids clubs — The minimum is 6 months, but 3 years old and out of diapers is the recommended age to get the most value.
