Creator's Key Takeaways

The Treasure is my new favorite. We go to Disney World a lot. We're Disney Vacation Club members, so we usually go at least once a year.

The Tale of Moana... I was blown away with the quality of it. It is so good... It's definitely my new favorite.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book private excursions for large groups for more flexibility and cost savings.
Sign up for the Imagineering tour on day one via the DCL Navigator app as it books up quickly.
Bring goggles for banana boat excursions to protect eyes from salt water splashes.
For New Year's Eve, request to dine at 1923 for a dressed-up experience.
Consider sit-down breakfast on sea days instead of Cabanas for a more relaxed experience.
