    While at Castaway Cay, get 2 large chocolate chip cookies (complimentary) and put soft vanilla ice cream between the cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. This is a Disney cast member favorite.

    It’s been a few years since I’ve been on the Fantasy but the last time I was on, I went to the showers in the gym to get ready for the day. (They’re connected to the spa.) The showers are roomier and they had the Elemis products in there. It was nice to have a little “me” time alone.

    You can bring popcorn buckets that you bought on a previous cruise or that you bought in the parks and they will be refilled for $1.50.

    • @bethburch8218
      @bethburch8218 28 днів тому

      The Sommelier Bin ? It is wine people had to leave behind from previous cruises because they could not fly it home. If you take a wine with a cork, they have to uncork it for you for a fee. You get the glasses of wine cheaper.

    Do you know what store on the ship has the Disney backpacks?

    • @livingbydisney
      @livingbydisney  3 місяці тому

      There are two main stores and they are right next to each other. Both sell backpacks of different styles and have lots of exclusive designs just for DCL. Might want to visit the first evening if there’s something in particular you’re looking for. Some popular items can sell out. 😊

    • @mapamouse
      @mapamouse 2 місяці тому

      The stores usually open 6 or 6:30 pm on the first night. You will probably have to wait in a line for a little bit before you can get in.

    • @livingbydisney
      @livingbydisney  3 місяці тому

      They do! So if you have the later dinner then you’ll see the earlier show before you eat. So either way you won’t miss it. Have fun!

      Definitely make a note of what you’re celebrating so the servers can plan some special celebration for you. And consider doing Palo or Remy for an extra special night. There are also couples massages in the spa and certain excursions have good options for adding some romance. Have a great time! 🤗
