    What are you FAVORITE Disney Cruise Tips & Tricks?!

    • @RohdeFam
      @RohdeFam ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great tips! I would suggest that any new cruisers take some time to get to know the app and how it works. Maybe while sitting at lunch or unpacking in the room. I know it’s harder with littles to wrangle around, but knowing how it works will save you time in the long run. “Heart” the things you want to do because you may find something you didn’t even know was an option. You can also filter it. I wanted to find Donald for a picture during my last cruise and I filtered it for him and it listed all the dates, times and locations where he’d be. It was awesome. Also, with that is to always ask for help if you don’t know. I specifically wanted Donald in his Christmas outfit and I asked guest services when those times would be, and they told me. Those “special” outfits are limited and I would have been SO bummed if I missed it.
      If you have little kids or enjoy the “extras” during a show, make sure you’re always on the main floor of the atrium and the center orchestra of the theater. This is where you’ll get the confetti, “snow”, etc. Prepare to arrive 30 mins before the set time.

    I'm glad I found out that paying for your cruise using Target Red Card to buy Disney gift cards to pay for your cruise, you pay 5% LESS cuz you get 5% off using Target's Red Card! Since Disney cruises are so expensive, you can save a few hundred dollars!

    We've been cruising DCL since 2012 and only recently realized that Cove and Vista food is included, and I had no idea the coffee punch card is good for future cruises - good tip!! I also got a good tip which we will be using in our upcoming trip on the Fantasy - in addition to the pop-up hamper, bring a collapsable box (you know those cubed fabric ones?) for shoes and pool stuff. Something to note about the magnets on the walls and doors, they have to be the strong magnets in order to hold anything other than a hat or lanyard. Ours were just sliding down the walls! 😆
    Hot tip - before or during the Pirate show, if you hang out by the elevators, you might get a quick interaction with Jack Sparrow. It's happened twice now. I go head-to-toe pirate costume, and the first time, I got a hat tip and a "M'Lady..." and the second time, he tip-toed around my son like he was vermin. LOL

    Great tips and tricks. On our first cruise, we brought a wooden anchor and permanent marker and had the characters sign the anchor. It is now a cool decoration in our bathroom.

      They also used to do the pillow cases. Sadly, they stopped all of it. It became overwhelming to Guest Services cause folks would bring MULTIPLE items, and there just wasn't enough time to do them all. Secondly, folks were requesting only certain characters and not others and would get upset when it didn't happen that way. 😮

    magnetic hooks work on the walls as well. They use bleach on the towels when they wash them so if you have clothing that might be harmed by bleach, beware. Learned that the hard way on a rainy trip to Castaway Cay. Pop up hamper in my Amazon cart. Thanks for that one! Have always had to call DCL to use our placeholder for the next cruise. If there's a way to use it on the website, please share. Regarding sharing tables at dinner. You may or may not have great table mates. Stay magical regardless. Hope to see ya'll on board one of these days.

    I love any talk of Disney cruise!
    When I sailed in December on the Wonder, the way to do a placeholder was only through the app. I’m sure guest services could help, but the future cruise desk was always empty! I always book my placeholder on the last night of my cruise because your placeholder ends 2 years from the date you booked it. I figured that there may be a cruise in the future that I really want and if I did my placeholder even the day before I may miss it. Of course, you don’t know 2 years in advance, but I think the more wiggle room, the better. 😊

    You actually have 30 days after your cruise to claim a place holder. You can absolutely call DCL within that time frame and still get up to two place holders. FYI

    • @OurZRoll
      @OurZRoll  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey there! You might want to double-check that. We called Disney Cruise Line right before filming this video. They said, “to make a placeholder reservation it has has to be done on the ship.”

    • @DisneyMom2011
      @DisneyMom2011 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@OurZRoll we sailed on the Wish in November and kicked ourselves when we got home for not getting a place holder. When I called DCL, she assured me it wasn’t too late, and that it’s a little known fact that you have 30 days. We took advantage and are going on the Wish again in April. I really enjoyed your video & hit subscribe right away! I’m anxious to watch all of your DCL playlist 😊

      Yeah, that's not correct. If you try to get a placeholder after the cruise, you won't get it. You do have 30 days tho to have the placeholder transferred to your TA. Maybe that's what this is in reference to.

    Tips: Book your Disney Cruise as soon as possible. The cost generally goes up the closer it gets to your sail date. Pack a set of clothes including a baiting suit in your carry on bag. It might be a while before your luggage gets to your room. This gives you the opportunity to changed if you need to

    I prefer to tip in cash as you never know what Disney is doing with the electronic tipping. It may be like what Grubhub or another food delivery service was doing, where tips added were going to the driver's but not actually being added on top of what they would normally get, instead you were subsidizing the payments that Grubhub was giving (i.e. the drivers were getting the same amount whether you tipped or not, but if you tipped you were basically helping Grubhub and not the drivers. Wouldn't be surprised if Cruise ships do the same with their mostly 3rd world staffers (not the American cast members who I'm sure get treated better).
