Creator's Key Takeaways

We are leaving our home in Tampa to make the 4-hour drive down to Fort Lauderdale where we are getting ready to board the Disney Dream.

The taco bowls are here on the Disney Dream. We love it.

This is definitely one of the larger stateaterooms that you can get before actually being in concierge.

These are definitely the roughest seas we've had for an imbarcation day in a while.

βœ“Use code TPX10 at checkout for 10% off Magical Day Creations orders.
