Creator's Key Takeaways

I just thought this is the perfect year for us to go the twins just turned nine my little girl turned seven and I really wanted to get them in under that you know the Disney Magical age of 10

I was just blown away by first how beautiful the fantasy is and then second of all I had this crazy obsession with how good it smelled

I couldn't have written a more perfect day there so that's awesome and that's and that was your last port

I told my friends anyone who's on the fence about a Disney cruise just do it it is um yeah just do it and uh you know you're not gonna regret it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a pre-cruise stay with ample buffer time for travel delays
Attend the kids club open house on the first day to help children adjust
Explore the ship on the first day to get your bearings
Encourage kids to try new foods since meals are included
Get to port excursions early to secure good spots
