Things I Wish I Knew Before Planning Our First Disney Cruise | Check-In Tips, Kids Clubs & Dining

Описание: Planning your first Disney Cruise? Same, friend — and wow, the learning curve is real. In this video, I’m sharing everything I’ve picked up while planning our family’s first sailing: how Disney Cruise check-in actually works, what you need to know about port arrival times, the truth about rotational dining, and how kids clubs work (aka where your children will disappear for 90% of the cruise).
Whether you’re sailing on the Disney Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy, Wish, or Treasure, these tips will make your first cruise a whole lot smoother.
👇 Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How to handle Disney Cruise Line check-in day
• What time to expect Port Arrival Times to open (and how to get a good one)
• How the kids clubs work (registration, drop-off, age groups, rules, and “Will my kid like it?”)
• How rotational dining works and what nobody explains until you’re already on the ship
• What I’m doing differently now that I understand the system
• And a few mom-truths about planning a Disney cruise that nobody talks about
