Creator's Key Takeaways

The Dream was our very first Disney cruise and we are finally back on this ship and it's our daughter's first time on a Disney cruise.

One of the best parts about a Disney Cruise Line vacation is the bed. If you know, you know. It's extremely comfortable.

I would recommend, you know, putting that request in early.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Show up later for embarkation to avoid crowds.
Request a diaper genie early when booking your cruise.
Buy merchandise on the first day to avoid size sell-outs.
Use the nursery for evening shows if traveling with an infant.
