Things We Wish We Knew Before Our First Disney Cruise

Disney cruises are known for their family-friendly atmosphere, but they’re also a great option for adults who want to relax and have fun. Here are seven things I wish I had known before my first Disney cruise:

A Disney cruise isn’t just for kids

There are plenty of adult activities and entertainment options, including Broadway shows, live music, and adult-only bars and lounges.

Study the ship map before boarding

The Disney ships are huge, and it can be easy to get lost. Taking a few minutes to study the map before you board helps you find your way around.

You can request to sit alone to dine

If you’re not interested in dining with other people, you can request to sit alone. Just let your server know when you make your dining reservations.

You can order room service for breakfast and enjoy the quiet or the view

If you’re not a morning person or just want to relax in your room in the morning, you can order room service for breakfast. This is a great way to avoid crowds and enjoy peace and quiet.

The pools aren’t the greatest, but the slides are fun

 The pools on Disney ships are small and crowded, but the slides are a lot of fun. If you’re looking to cool off, the slides are a great option.

I wish I had brought magnets to decorate our stateroom door

Disney cruises have a tradition of decorating stateroom doors with magnets. This is a great way to show your Disney spirit and meet other cruisers.

Castaway Cay is the best. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay as long as you can

Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. It’s a beautiful island with white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and plenty of activities to keep you busy. If you’re looking for a relaxing day at the beach, Castaway Cay is the perfect place for you.

I hope these tips help you plan your next Disney cruise. Have a magical time!
