Creator's Key Takeaways

We lost a kid. My own kid.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book tastings and activities as soon as your booking window opens, especially if traveling with guests of lower Castaway Club status.
✓If you are worried about losing a spot in a popular activity, book it for two people and then swap one name for a friend once they are able to book.
✓Do not book multiple alcohol-heavy tastings on the same day.
✓If you get separated from your child on the ship, check at the kids club, as that is where they are taken.
✓For first-time cruisers, understand that many onboard activities, kids clubs, and pools are included in the fare.
✓If your child has check-in/checkout privileges but no phone, bring an iPad with the Disney Navigator app to communicate.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of onboard activities — Most activities are included. Only specialty dining, alcohol, and certain classes cost extra.
Safety of kids clubs — The clubs are very safe. Parents are contacted via the app if there is an issue. Check-in/out is strictly controlled.
What to do on embarkation day — Register kids at the club first, then head to the pool or explore the ship. Don't get overwhelmed; there's plenty of time.
