Creator's Key Takeaways

We are very close. We're under 50 days till we get on the Disney Magic on July 6th.

I'm having an internal debate whether I want to do the Aqua Dunk or not because of my back.

I think Disney Cruise Line... I think that was a big mistake because I never see people talk about the aqua dunk.

I'm totally excited to get on the ship. It's got so much we're happy to take bring you to Hawaii on the next.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓For runDisney expo, go later in the day to avoid crowds and possibly find restocked merchandise.

✓Use the complimentary water park on your resort switch day to maximize time without going to a theme park.

✓Book a pontoon cruise for a special celebration, but consider scheduling it for the second or third night to avoid travel day stress.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

runDisney expo logistics for an international guest — Go later in the day, follow signs, and enjoy the atmosphere; buses are efficient from French Quarter.

Heat and weather for a runDisney race — Plan for warm weather, climatize beforehand, and be prepared for potential storms.
