Hello, I am a retired CM from DCL and I never miss going to the Spa first day to see what they offer plus they do a raffle on the first day. I’m actually going on the Disney Dream tomorrow and can’t wait because it has been 2 yrs and a half since my last cruise. The Spa also have good offers on Port Day and I always get the facial and back massage combination.
Great suggestions in here! Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Thanks so much for sharing! Will definitely follow suit.
~DDH~
If you buy a bottle of wine at dinner and dont finish it, they will re-cork it and store it for you to have at the following evenings dinner. Good to know if say, you finished a first bottle and were thinking of ordering a second bottle, but didn't think you could finish it.
Morning coffee on the veranda is truly special.
It really is.
When you said 'start bonine before you leave' it sound an awful lot like British slang for something and had me burst out laughing on the tube, so thanks hahaha
I have to be careful with that one!
We recently took our first cruise, ever and it was a DCL cruise. While I'm reticent to say which ship I'll say that it was a great time. I found out that I served part of my Air Force career at a base in the home state of the Cruise Director and I had the chance to speak with the Director about this and to let him know how much I loved the people of his home state. It turns out that his home city was just north of the base. At the end of the cruise he left us a bag of goodies and a hand written not thanking me for speaking with him about my adventures in his home state and my kind words and that he'd love for us to come back to his ship. A great personalized touch.
As for the Cabin Hosts and the Servers, we found that we loved to find out about their families. Our Cabin Host was fun to joke with. She even pulled pranks with us in our cabin after she cleaned it. So much fun! We left her a huge tip because of her fun times that she had with us. When she would see us walking down the hallway she would yell at us, which would embarrass us, in a fun way. We fell in love with her and her antics. We'll definitely go on another DCL cruise.
I would also add to see the shows every night while on the ship. They are very well done and done right.
What a fun story! Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing. It is these types of interactions that add so much more Magic to the trip.
I had never heard of the charms before. My goodness i thought I was a pro 😅
Excellent Pro Tips! 👍🏻👌🏻 Thank you!
Thank you!
These are fantastic tips! Glad I watched it! 😍
Thank you so much!
I really appriciate that you were traveling with a teen boy. I searched and searched for vlogs of families with teen boys. There were very few. There is so much information about what kids enjoy and all the amazing imagineered experiences there are in the kids club. My 13 yo ended up going to Vibe and he loved it, but I was very anxious leading up bc I didn't have much of an idea of what to expect. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Thank you for sharing your perspective as well. I had the same issue when searching for our first cruise. I am so happy it was useful for you!
Thank you!
I was surprised at the family table on our first dinner. I was like huh??
We quickly changed it for the rest of the nights.
Good tips❤️🥰
Feeling pretty good I didn’t know I was a pro 😂😂. U did tell me 2 I was not aware of Thank you planning my 3rd cruise for 2023 on the Wish and I’m sad the Dream is going to Miami now ☹️
Haha there is a lot of information! Which were the two?
Great tips 👏🏻
Thank you!
Ty I’m going on a Disney cruise in 5 days so this helps
So glad it’s useful. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

We were just on the Magic in mid January and the fish extenders were back again.
They are so fun. Thanks for sharing!
when we sail out of port canaveral we fly into orlando a day early. many hotels have complimentary shuttle. we select a hotel that has complimentary breakfast included. get up have relaxing breakfast. take the shuttle back to airport. shuttle driver dropped us 30ft from cruise line bus. about an hour to dock.
Good idea! Thanks for sharing!
Great tips. We consider ourselves DCL pros and even we picked up a few things here - thanks. Question tho - we've never seen Goofy sleepwalking b4 but have heard it's a late night event, rather than a morning one. Do u know if it's one, or both?
I have read multiple times that he is out early in the morning, but have not yet seen a mention of him out at night.
Early in the morning vs late at night could mean the same thing honestly, like some may say 3am is early morning some may say late night
Also our boarding is at 3:00 pm. We’d like to be on board before then. What’s the earliest time to get on board and settle in. Also is daycare for toddlers included or an extra cost if so, would you know the rates?
You can select your boarding time when you are doing your online check-in. The early ones go fast though! The earliest for general boarding is around 11am. Sometimes a little earlier. There is an additional cost for the nursery.
Some good tips, thank you. We don't drink so all the info like bringing on six packs, alcohol before breakfast, and hangover tips didn't apply. Never thought of Disney as a Booze Cruise but to each his own.
Thanks for letting everyone know that a particular tip didn't apply to you. We were all very interested in your beverage habits.
You can’t check in @ 75 days. You can choose port excursions. Big difference.
Yes that has changed post covid. All activities and reservations are 75 days in advance for 1st time cruisers, with check-in and port arrival time being 30 days in advance.
When does the Rainforest room become available to book? I didn't see it on any of the days under the "Onboard Fun" category.
It’s a bit different right now. You can only get it for 90 minutes for your party only. And it’s only available to book once you are on the ship.
@@disneeds thanks for the info
This has been so very helpful. I have a question my fiancé and I are cruising in April but we are having trouble finding a place to keep our car during the cruise. At what hotel did you keep your vehicle? Any tips?
Thank you so much, I’m glad they’re helpful! Which port are you cruising from?
@@disneeds of course! And it’s the San Diego Port. I looked into some port parking areas. I had no idea that was a thing. Is that my best bet?
That’s my favorite port!! The airport is about 2 miles from the cruise port. We got an Uber from airport to hotel and then walked for dinner, and from our hotel to the ship. I went to our cruise group and found this link regarding parking. Hope it helps! www.portofsandiego.org/coming-and-going/parking-and-transportation/long-termcruise-parking?fbclid=IwAR2kxrU6sihCkKsVwcg_r5Lzcf1DjFUpZ5leimzl6le0pQTuZ8cwPKP4-_Y
@@disneeds you rock!! Thanks so much. This helps a ton 😁👍🏼
Hi do you know about the Christmas cruise? How do parents with young kids handle Santa’s gifts for Christmas morning?
It’s an individual decision. Some families will bring presents and some will tell the kids that they asked Santa to leave their presents at home for when they get back. Santa and Mrs Clause will make appearances but gifts are an individual family thing.
Any suggestions on a hotel near the ship in Port Canaveral?
We stayed at Country Inn & Suites right by the port and really liked it! I’ve heard people also really like the Radisson at the port. Some also stay at Cocoa Beach, the Marriott and Four Points are popular there.
Perfect I selected Country Inn & Suites💙
which hotel would you recommend that is close to the port? Thanks :)
For Port Canaveral? Last time we went we stayed at Cocoa Beach, which was fine but I prefer a port and ship view. We typically stay at Country Inn & Suites but I don’t have a top recommendation. Except for a view of the ship from your room!
Want to point out the the Mimosa and Bloody Marry cart is only for the Wish and only for the inaugural sailing.
I think the cart has phased out on the ships but they do have the $5 drinks at the pool bar until noon.
I think I'm getting a bit confused... We are supposed to do $13 per day per person plus $2 every time I would get room service and the gratuity which I'm assuming is above 10% that goes to the servers in dining?? I'm really asking because that seems like a lot of preparation to do before the actual cost of the whole Cruise.
This should help. Do I REALLY Need To Tip on Disney Cruise Line?

Thank you!☺️
Do you know if Sleep Walking Goofy is on the Disney Fantasy? I am going on the Disney Fantasy in about a year and was just wondering. Thanks!
I don’t actually. I have yet to find him but I hope you do!
@@disneeds Okay thank you so much!
Do you have a video about booking a Disney cruise for first timers? I’m nervous I’m gonna do it wrong. Would it be cheaper to go through a travel agent?
Actually we will have one next week. In the meantime we have 10 Mistakes Newbies Make also.
@@disneeds thank you!
@@dayrich I posted a video today on booking your first cruise. Hope it’s helpful!
You said that we can take 6 beers or two bottles of wine aboard. Are coolers considered wine? Beer? Can you bring a couple of them onboard?
Their website states Beer only for the 12 ounce, and wine or champagne only for the wine. I have seen the coolers or white claws get confiscated.
Hoooooo
What are Flo’s fries? Where can I find these magical French fries?
They are magical! Flo’s Cafe is on Deck 11 of the Dream and Fantasy, and the French Fries are ordered at the Tow Mater Grill.
meet the cruise entertainment team members as soon as possible. just like your dining team gets to know your likes, dislikes and dietary needs, the cruise entertainment team gets to know your interests, your humor, etc. and will be happy to help you however they can. if you're playing Bingo and you feel like you can't keep up (that's happened to me on more than a few occasions), one of the entertainment team members will be happy to work with you so you can keep up.
Great suggestion! Thanks for sharing!
does the ship have free wifi for the app if you have no internet service from your phone?
They do have free access to the app.
@@disneeds thank you so much for the response
Btw do you have anything to tell about the Halloween one?
Bring costumes, look for characters in their costumes, and check the navigator app for specific themed events. We also like to order the holiday blanket set. It is a pre-order from their onboard gifts and it will be in your room when you arrive. They have it available from port Canaveral if that is your port and it’s called: Halloween on the High Seas Stateroom Decor. They also have some fun themed cocktails. And most important, EnJoy!!
@@disneeds tysm
If we’re sailing to the Dominican Republic i think that’s where do we need a passport?
If you are starting and ending your cruise at the same port it’s not required but highly recommended. Typically the Dominican Republic stops are on a cruise that starts and ends at different ports and those do require a passport to travel.
When it comes to room service tips, I don't recommend tipping them with cash. The last time, I tipped them with cash, they also added the tips on the signed receipt. That's not right.
I was happy to see that they have room service gratuities available electronically now. Definitely good to keep an eye on it.
Question. How does using that app on the cruise effect the cell phone bill??
Help!!
It doesn’t, they have that fixed somehow.
@@disneeds oh really?
That's great!! Thank you
Be sure to turn your phone to airplane mode so it doesn’t try to pick up a signal. It will find the ships marine signal if you let it, and that will cost extra.
The online check-in date is now 30 days, not 75. We cruise on 12/10 and can't check in until 11/10
How are they with food allergies?
They are really good with food allergies. Make sure you note in your check-in that you have allergies, and let your restaurant team know as well. Depending on the type of allergies, they may give you the option to order the night before.
What is the palo dinner? Is that the princess dinner?
Palo is one of their specialty restaurants. It’s only for adults 18 and up, is an additional charge, and is Northern Italian Cuisine.
Thank you
Do they not give you seasick medicine at guest relations on the ship anymore?
They will but best not to depend on that.
Would love to see a video on excursions. Sadly the ones that I was intersted in for our upcoming cruise all say SOLD OUT. I have seen some people mention that you can just contact the tour companies directly and book through them. Would you reccommend doing that? I'm a little nervous about doing anything not specifically DISNEY, though I would assume these particular tour companies have all been vetted by Disney.
I would research or join a Facebook Disney cruise group to see who people are using and recommending for your ports of call. For awhile you could only do Disney excursions because of covid but I think that has changed now. Obviously you want to make sure it’s safe and a fit for your family. The most important thing with Disney Cruise excursions is that the ship will wait for you if the excursion is late getting back. If you are on your own, they will not. so just get to the ship in plenty of time :-)
Thank you!
I can't believe people pay through the nose for this torture. Stuck for days on a floating mall. It looks like hell.
My family and I are traveling for the first time on the Wonder in October! When doing the online check in do we make reservations to which restaurant we want to go to each night? 🛳👀
How exciting! You need to make reservations for Palo ahead of time, but they will assign you a rotation for the main dining restaurants. For example: Tiana’s Place on night one, followed by Animator’s Palate, and Triton’s would say TP-AP-TR on your Key to the World card.
Thank you for the info! 😁
You’re welcome!
@@disneeds another blogger said you could request a specific rotation? Do you know anything about that? The recommendation was to try to get the rotation with animators palate for two nights (on a four night cruise) because the second night they do something special?
Yes, you can request a different rotation. They don’t guarantee it but has always worked out for us. They are likely talking about Pirate Night and the animation that is a little extra in Animator’s Palate.
