Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're staying at a Walt Disney World resort, it you don't even have to pay attention to these rules because they don't apply.

I think that's just a really unique to Disney experience that they have two private islands that are close enough that you can take a cruise and experience both of them.

You're paying for a transportation system. It's not free transportation. It's included transportation with your resort stay.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep checking for dining reservations a day or two before your trip as cancellations often occur.
When traveling in groups, use a 'travel with number' (TWW) to link reservations at Disney resorts.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Choosing between Disney Cruise Line itinerariesChoose the itinerary that includes both Disney private islands (Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay) to experience the full 'Disney bubble'.
Last minute dining reservationsMonitor the My Disney Experience app frequently; many restaurants have walk-up lists or cancellations 1-2 days prior.
