Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our fifth Disney cruise. So, now we have stepped off the ship. We are officially Gold Castaway Club members.

The shows are so stunning and amazing. I would just watch them again, even if they were identical. They really are West End, Broadway quality, and more.

It was so much busier than when we sailed on the wish. I'm going to be honest with you. If you want a quieter cruise, then flying over to America is going to make it quieter.

Knowing about the accessibility area for D shows really did make such a difference to us. So if that's something you need to access then speak to a cast member about that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book AB parking as soon as you book your cruise if sailing from Southampton, as it sells out.
Speak to cast members about accessibility needs, such as for autism, to get help with crowds and muster drills.
If you don't get reservations for Palo or Remy, go to deck two on embarkation day to ask for spare reservations.
Purchase Disney Cruise Line towels from your stateroom host to bring home as a souvenir.

Muster drill noise and crowdsSpeak to cast members; they can let you exit early to avoid crowds.
Stock levels in shopsShops may be busy, but stock levels are generally good; go at less crowded times.
