Creator's Key Takeaways

We're recapping a whirlwind Disney Fantasy sailing with FOUR couples—including some Disney diehards, some DCL super-fans, and a few folks who barely knew what “rotational dining” meant.

Spoiler: everyone still had an amazing time.

The Fantasy is the top of those three ships. The Fantasy, no question, beats the other the other two.

I give Lookout right now until it kind of, I think, it's, you know, matures. I think it's a seven.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in online at the recommended time to get a good port arrival time.
Plan for shows by arriving 20-30 minutes early for good seats.
Don't snooze on the plain white backdrop for photos.
Try the churro waffles at Castaway Cay.
If you want to see a show, don't schedule something else during that time.
