Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that the Contemporary, I in my opinion, has one of the best views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the room.

You find out your rotational dining when you get to the port it'll be on your key to the world card.

I would do night three because you're typically going to repeat that restaurant either the day before or the day after.

Don't go to Terralina. It's worse than Olive Garden.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a theme park view room at the Contemporary for the best fireworks views.
✓Check your rotational dining schedule on your key to the world card at the port.
✓Book Palo on night three of a four-night cruise to experience all restaurants.
✓Use the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique pirate night makeovers to find out when pirate night is.
