Creator's Key Takeaways

You have to ask, especially in the disability space, Disney offers things that they don't say online.

Don't leave a toddler in your room alone. This is a PSA. Do not do that.

WhatsApp is a great way for you to stay in touch with others back home, but also people on the ship without having to buy the internet package.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get on board as early as possible to talk to guest services, kids club, and dining.

✓Always carry medical equipment with you through the boarding process.

✓Use the allergy paper (pink slip) for food orders to ensure safety.

✓Ask for accommodations; Disney may offer things not listed online.

✓Join WhatsApp groups for community and communication without internet.
