Editorial Summary

The creator discusses her decision to book a Disney cruise despite previously considering the brand to be outside of her budget. As a budget cruiser, she explains the specific strategies she used to make the trip affordable. These methods include sailing from a different cruise port to save money, traveling outside of school holiday periods, and opting for an adult only trip rather than bringing children. She also mentions booking a cabin without a specific location to reduce costs and taking advantage of an ocean view cabin that became available at the same price as an inside cabin. The creator notes that she will be sailing on the Disney Magic for a short itinerary in the British Isles, which allows her to avoid the high costs of flying to the United States. She concludes by reflecting on the higher nightly cost compared to her usual cruising habits and mentions that the decision was inspired by the advice of a late friend who was a massive Disney fan.
