Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally being somebody that has taken numerous Disney Cruises don't think that that's necessary I think it's great for first timers

so we've got a little bit of time before we actually can go check into our room which is around 2:30 uh and we said earlier but I don't remember how much was actually captured

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Carry as little luggage as possible since you have to carry it all day until your room is ready
βœ“Use the app to chat with crew members instead of waiting in line at Guest Services
βœ“Bring a key to the world card to turn lights on in your room
