Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm really excited for this trip. We've never done a back-to-back or a side-to-side.

It looks absolutely fantastic.

The food at the Local on the Bliss was better.

I love the fact that there's a cigar only bar, place to go smoke cigars.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to Headliners to book dining times as soon as you get on.
Start at the back of the Garden Buffet to avoid crowds.
Book your time in advance for the Ice Bar.
