Creator's Key Takeaways

Anante was amazing... they insisted that we come back the following night to finish the meal.

Haunted Mansion parlor... I could just sit in there all night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't overbook yourself with activities; there's so much to do that you can get exhausted.

✓Book adult dining reservations even if the app only lets you book for one person; you'll be fine when you show up.

✓Use any waiting time at the port to log into the Navigator app and plan your day.

✓Go into adult dining with an empty stomach due to the number of courses.

✓Prioritize your must-do activities each day and treat others as bonus.

Motion sickness — Use a scopolamine patch; it helped his wife and she never got sick.

Overbooking activities — Don't overbook; there's so much to do that you can get exhausted.

Seasickness during rough seas — The first night was the worst; it gets better as you get your sea legs.
