Creator's Key Takeaways

I had the chance to sail out of Fort Lauderdale back in December and it was just a few weeks after they opened their new permanent home and uh I definitely have some thoughts on it

the experience of sailing out of Port Canaveral is just you know Disney has it down to a science because they've been doing it for so many years

the process of getting to that point was just an absolute Nightmare

once you get on the ship you forget all about that you had to wait in line 10 minutes to get in the Port

Creator's Tips & Advice

Fly into the port city the day before your cruise to avoid missing the ship
Consider using the Bright Line train from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale for a cost-effective transfer
Book hotel and transfer packages through Disney Cruise Line for a seamless experience
