Creator's Key Takeaways
So, no more park strategy, no more 20,000 steps, no more deciding where everyone wants to eat.
For most families sailing out of Port Canaveral, I recommend two to four nights at Walt Disney World before the cruise.
The best overall pick for the Magic Kingdom is probably the Contemporary or the Polynesian.
For families or groups, I would choose Disney transportation.
