Tip for sweet tea drinkers: In your refillable and insulated drink container, you can add a small amount of hot water to your sweetener of choice to make a syrup and then add the tea and ice!
I was just going to post this same advice! Great minds!
Yes, I was to sat that too. Use a foam cup so not to get burned.
Or make a very sweet hot tea with only half a mug full of water, steep for a few minutes, then pour that over ice
👍 good to know
Here's another idea, when at the dining room ask the assistant waiter for simple syrup. I did and he made me sweet tea. I had it for all 7 nights. This sometimes works with other lines.
Am I going on my fifth disney cruise in a few months? Yes Did I still watch this as if I know nothing about DCL? Also yes.
The request a character call is the most sweetest thing. If you have kids of ANY age do this. If you have multiple kids with many characters, get mickey and minnie, it will definitely pull some tears of excitement:)!!!
Bringing an old card to use for the lights is a good tip. But better yet, glue a magnet to it. Then you can stick it to the wall above the switch when you pull lit out, and not have to try to find it when you come back to the room. And this tip isn't (or at least wasn't) important for the Magic and Wonder. They did not have the key switch, you just turned lights on and off normally. As far as I know that's still true, but I don't promise that those ships weren't refitted when I wasn't looking!
My parents and I got the drink of the day so much when we went on the Wish. $5-6 for a drink is a great deal
Emma cruises (great UA-cam channel) recommends a daylight/sunrise alarm clock for inside cabins so you can get that increasing light levels in the morning so that you get a gentle wake up into something other than pitch black!
Or maybe you can bring a nightlight or leave the lights on?
My son picked up the stomach bug while at the nursery. Disney was great about his care! They provided extra entertainment in the room, and had the dining room send up meals for my husband and I. It helped since he was confined to the cabin.
They don't have the Pirate night buffets anymore. I sailed in January and in September of 2023 and they didn't have it on either sailing. I was told they stopped that not too long after they started back after Covid.
Idea for carrying food on a windy open deck...take a collapsible food tent that has a bottom. Put your food inside and it helps it stay put!
The Oceaneer Club stops at age 10 years now. It was recently dropped from 12 years.
What do they have for over 10 yrs old? My son is 11
Edge and vibe
He would go in Edge
Piggybacking on the dining thing. You don’t have to order off the menu of the restaurant you’re at. All three restaurants have the same kitchen so don’t be afraid to look at the other menus if you can’t find something you like. I was even able to get some Buffalo wings off the room service menu. Just keep in mind that you can’t get anything off of the special menus like pirate night except during those nights.
Great advice and this is why Disney cruises, kitchens, and the servers are the best...On our Dream cruise I loved the Black Truffle Pasta from Animators Palate so much and was raving about them to our server. The next night (at a different dining location) our server just came over with a big smile on his face and put a plate of them in front of me! (I didn't even have to ask) WOW!
The Wish has separate kitchens from what we were told the times we've sailed on it.
Always get at least the basic medical insurance for your cruise. So many incidents happen that require airlift at sea, very expensive.
Love the Chanel, I have been binging all of your cruise videos in preparation of my second cruise they are very helpful
Thanks AJ and your wonderful crew!
Thank you for all these tips! I’ve been on many Disney Cruises and I still forget to bring some things. We’re cruising with Disney to Hawaii next week, the destination I’ve been stalking and planning for over a year. These tips will make our trip almost perfect…(because I will forget something…🤦🏽♀️ I just know it.)
We’re so pumped for our first ever cruise in May.. thanks for sharing these amazing tips
Excited for this video I'm going on my first disney cruise this April :)
Great video!! Going on my first Disney cruise in Oct so this was very helpful!
I'm very much looking forward to the Wish on the 1st of April (didn't realize that Sunday was Easter when I scheduled that, we're going to do a super-early egg hunt before our flight out!)
BTW.... there ARE buses that run from Disney World to the cruise terminal (and back!). Just be sure to ask/book in advance!
Fun Fact: "Debarkation" is not the official term -- it's "Disembarkation". But call it what you wish...
We all know that you can check in at the Disney Hotels, but you can also check in at MCO. I have been doing that for at least 15 years. Disney cruises: Magic 10/2000 &5/2005, Wonder 10/2008, Dream 10/2013, Fantasy 9/2022. Grand Circle Tour, 10/2017 DLS & DLHK.
Scissors can be brought on board a DCL cruise as long as the blades are 4 inches or less in length AND have blunt tips-like they usually are in travel sewing kits. I was glad to find this out before preparing for a cruise.
I heard that they aren’t enforcing the new duck rule. It’s also a thing that royal Caribbean started and has moved to different ships
Thank you this vid was very helpful!! Some I knew but some I didn’t. We’re very excited to sail again in 30 days. 😎🚢
Definitely gonna look into a Disney cruise for next year. I’ve been on celebrity a few times and carnival once. Disney and royal Caribbean are the two next ones I wanna try out .
The thing that's so crazy to me is that we've just completely dominated the ocean environment.
It used to be that ships sank all the time. Sailing was serious business, and you had a significant reason to risk getting on a boat. Now though, blue water ocean is a recreation area.
Can you do a toddler based Orlando itinerary please!
sorry to ask but you know this area like the back of your hand!
Great video, AJ.
Can you do a video exclusively about concierge?
Thank you
I love you videos ❤❤
Love ur videos I want to know more on the new Disney cruise ship called Disney adventure
There’s not a whole lot of information out about the Disney Adventure yet, BUT we do know that it’ll be the first Disney Cruise ship to have a home port in Singapore! 🛳️
I was in the wonder and they don’t do the pirate party buffet anymore. They said since Covid
Do they do anything special if the child’s birthday is while on the cruise?
Can your channel feature the Disney cruise cake that they serve for the people celebrating their birthday?
That was the best dessert I’ve had on the Wish. It’s chocolate. Can I buy that anywhere in Disney? I just want to know what kind of cake that is. I’m still dreaming of getting another piece.
I want to take my child on a bday cruise just for a piece of that cake again.
You’re DFB. Can you tell me what kind of cake it is? Thank you.
When can you make reservations
Is it possible to eat breakfast on the last day at early seating and then return to your room before leaving the ship. Thanks
No, they ask everyone to leave
I'm considering using a TA just for the on board credit. However, I like doing all my own planning, hate delegating, and would stress out over not feeling like I'm in control of my own reservations. Any tips or reassurance that I can still manage my own booking, while using a TA? If I book with a TA can I still do online check in on my own, or would they have to do that for me?
I use a TA all the time just for the on board credit. However, I make all my own reservations and online check ins myself. The only thing the TA does is book the room and pay the reservations. Everything else I do myself! No worries, you're still in control!
Most of my clients prefer to book their own activities and I require that they do their own online check-in since they have to upload citizenship docs, give permission for kids clubs, etc. You can totally book with a TA and not give up control of the planning.
Can anyone confirm if the pre-recorded Broadway show is still a thing? I was on the Wish last year, and they didn’t have it when I asked about it.
On my first cruise, the stateroom host gave us a blank card to use for the lights in the stateroom in place of our key to the world card. Is that not the norm?
When did they bring back the post pirate party buffet back? Was on the Fantasy last year and was so disappointed when they didn't have it.
They don't have it anymore. That was outdated info. They stopped not to long after coming back from Covid. I sailed in January and September of last year and it wasn't on either sailing.
Remember if you are going to book a reservation for the nursery, you have to bring your own formula, bottles, binkie, etc.
I remember hitting up the aqua duck before the ship even left port Canaveral on the first day and almost nobody was in line.
Right?? WAY better than waiting on it for 30+ minutes 🙃
You can still hide ducks on board!! There was a rumor based on a Disney blog. There have been multiple people who have asked on board since, and they have all been told it is still okay!
The “order what you want” part is really not that clear…at least to me
He lost a toenail? I lost a fingernail once as it got slammed in one of the (very heavy) cruise doors lol. I was about to 6 and it was my first cruise 😅
I tried to download the cruise guid but all I got was downloads for the parts. 😢
My last Disney Cruise was to Alaska so we didn't have a Pirates Night, but on our previous cruise to the Bahamas, we were given free "Pirates on The Caribbean" bandanas to wear. Are they still doing that? This was on the Dream a couple of years ago.
Went on Wish last year and they did not provide Pirate gear.
Yes if there is a Pirate Night you will get one. The Wish recently started handed them out this month.
Last Nov 2023 sailing on Magic - we were not given bandanas on Pirates night. Later I found out that it was because we did not have kids with us. Luckily I bought old ones with us. Not sure of that’s a new thing or was a supply issue.
On the Wish in Jan 2023, we did not receive any even with a kid with us - so we bought them from the gift shop (we liked them better as they were black). If you have a set - best pack them and not need them.
I just got off the Wish and hiding ducks is ok. I asked a few cast members and each of them said it’s totally fine to hide the ducks.
I was changed like 2 weeks ago.
@@t.b.gonzalez3581 I just went on the cruise last week. But I had heard that rumor right before we left for the cruise. It was something my wife was really looking forward to.
👏
Do they still have the free charms?
Was on Wish last year and still had free charms
@@craftycindy3710 thank you, I received some on the Magic this time.
Yep!! Go everytime!!
my wife is a nurse and always puts nursing scissors in her luggage..is that ok?
I wonder what happens if you throw things overboard?
If caught, a not so nice talk with the Staff Captain.
My wife saw Coco early.
I’ve heard the ducks thing isn’t true.
Same I watched theme park express they asked guest service and they said it’s still ok to hide ducks around the cruise
I love your videos but some of your tips are outdated and haven't been available for awhile now.
Your WiFi tip is outdated
So is the Pirate Night buffet.
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed these
why would you need a rice cooker when you get food? Im so like what?!
Rubber ducks are still allowed, this information is wrong.
What the Duck 🦆
I don't do cruises
Ive heard that hiding ducks is still Ok
