Creator's Key Takeaways

I love these kinds of videos because I get to talk about the mistakes that I make when I'm on my trips and I get to warn you about the stuff that really threw me for a loop and surprised me on my previous trips that I just took.

The moral here, if something happens while you're on one of Disney's Aqua Coasters, stay where you are and wait until a crew member comes over to tell you what to do next.

If you can skip over the checked luggage procedure and stick with just bringing a carry-on, it's so much easier to keep track of.

Don't be that room. Before setting sail, everyone, and I mean everyone, is required to attend the mustard drill.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a carry-on instead of checked luggage for easier tracking.
✓Attend the mandatory safety drill on time to avoid delays.
✓Explore the ship post-drill to avoid elevator crowds.
✓Double-check quick service hours on the Navigator app.
✓Skip checked luggage and use express walk-off for disembarkation.
