12 Things that SHOCK Disney Cruise Line Guests 

If you mean staying at separate resorts, no problem. Just make separate resort reservations for before and after your cruise. Of course it's simpler to book your cruise entirely before (or entirely after) your resort stay, but that's up to you! FWIW I strongly recommend using a travel agent for trips that involve a cruise.

Thank you for this, I am looking to do the park and cruise.

If you have the money, splitting your stay at different resorts allows you to take advantage of location. Maybe before or after the cruise you stay at AK Lodge, so you can quickly get to AK. For the other split stay, Caribbean Beach or Swan/Dolphin so you’re walking distance to EPCOT and HS.

Land and sea trips are fun and easy to plan. We do land and sea trips every year and don’t use a travel planner. Super easy to do

it's definitely a thing! almost every time i am traveling through orlando, i run into someone who does a "land and sea" package

Four of my five Disney cruises have been solo. No regrets.

Have so much fun!!

Totally understand. I was once stuck on an elevator for 30 minutes, and ever since have (almost) totally avoided elevators. I have carried my suitcase up several floors of stairs on a number of occasions!

This is our 1st cruise... I'm doing the walk around for both teens... 16 and 14 so they know what to expect. Also, they have $150 US credit so they can have room service and buy things in their budget.

Imagine being a DISABLED PERSON with no other options but waiting for a minimum 15-20 minutes for an elevator. 🤷 Disabled folks know they HAVE to start travelling at LEAST 45 minutes prior to an event on ships, to even have a chance. All those disabled folks that the selfish shove aside are disabled kids, including plenty of "Make-A-Wish" kids, grandparents, people in pain, dying people, and VETERANS. Funny how so many love to show off & talk big about *supposedly* being supporters of sick & disabled kids and "wounded warriors"... Until they have to use the stairs - then they trample disabled folks into the dirt. Then their REAL personality is revealed by the tiniest of challenges. Their bigoted behaviour reveals what those Disney cruisers REALLY ARE. Money doesn't hide a lazy, selfish, repulsive, bigoted soul.

I wouldn’t do the swimming part

Yes literally came to say this!

If it is your first have a magical time🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m going on my 12th on a 9 day in September

Not at Palo anymore. When I went a few months ago, there were people dressed pretty casual. Not in flip flops or shorts but there were several people in jeans and button downs or nice blouses. No one in a suit. They’ve actually changed that policy.

Palo allows jeans in good condition and lifestyle shoes now. Much more casual than before.

@@ArielLillian93 In fairness, I haven’t been since I was turned away twice. I refuse to give that experience my business any more because of it. So, they might have changed the dress code, but it’s still something that should have been included in the video because, as pointed out, you can’t go up there in board shorts and flip flops. For the record, both times I was in a collared shirt, khaki pants. The first time I was turned away because I wasn’t in a suit, the second because I was wearing black runners instead of dress shoes.

@@Kzorith did they give you your money back? No dress shoes in this era is rediculous. It’s not 1928.

@@ArielLillian93Palo you can do that. Remy or Enchante are way more formal.

i personally recommend the dream or fantasy as they were the best for me, I've been on 4 Disney cruises at this point and recently i just took the wish on july 28th and it was sad, the food was horrible, virtually no entertainment, and the aqua mouse breaks constantly. But the dream and fantasy are this but 1000 times better in my opinion

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the 12 Disney cruises I’ve been on and I don’t have kids or grandchildren. I sure beats the cruises I used to do before on ships that were painted grey.

Have fun🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m going on my 12th in September for a 9 day

@@potatoking8468going in September as well! Fantasy for our first. So excited!

I enjoyed my Alaska cruise even more than the Caribbean ones. I STRONGLY suggest you investigate the possibility of an excursion to Butchart Gardens in Victoria. I know.... formal gardens aren't your thing. They weren't mine either, but I was SO glad I went! I don't take a lot of photos, but I took over 100 there!! I still have them....

@@richardmercer2337 Sorry but we don’t have the time to do it & we have been too Butchart Garden twice when we visited Victoria two times

We are going on the Wish a few days before but will hopefully be in magic kingdom on Halloween!

You can afford it!!! Right now you can book a cruise up to February 2025!!! Plan far in advance and pay on it each month! I’m a single mom, i don’t live in Florida and we’re Gold on DCL!!! It’s definitely doable

Have a good time 🎉 🎉🎉 I’m going on my 12th cruise with Disney in September for a 9 day. Also they have a bike ride that’s a 5k I’ve done it it was nice

Suggest you ask on the ship -- try the excursions desk. IIRC there is no advance registration before the cruise. Very likely you just show up at the starting line. Hope you have a great time!!

The tea party is an extra charge. It is about $220 per child plus $70 per adult.

How you opt-out ?

Her name is Brea

@@laurallewien2165 I legit can't thank you enough it's been KILLING ME FOR DAYS

Typically yes. There are a few rules to follow, like having them factory sealed and rules around how you bring them on. All the specifics can be found on the DCL site

😱 bed bugs are you SERIOUS?! I would have thrown a fit

@@Empressranda dead serious. Disney doesn’t care. When you’re onboard you have no alternatives/choices. It took them 6 hours to get the right people there just to inspect, and they said “we’re not sure”. Only POST cruise, after I contacted very senior management at the cruise line did they shut the room down and do a full spraying…we were already flying home at the time.

That honestly happens on all cruise lines not just Disney. It’s worse when it’s adults they should know better.

We take my mom in her wheelchair on a Disney cruise every year and have not had bad experiences. Most people (because there are always rude people in the world) recognize that you don’t have an alternative when using mobility devices and will help prioritize getting on the elevators. We’ve found every ship EXCEPT the Wish very accommodating to chair users. I will say that because of the way all ships are built, the thresholds in hallways and going out onto deck are a little difficult to navigate. We just go backwards over them and do ok though! Don’t give up on cruising because of bad people! 😊

Use the elevator banks on the fore or aft, they're not nearly as busy

"Not nice" 🙄

oops....not for this channel..sorry

stuck at 720p

This may be a singular experience. Been on a couple and although many have been from all around the world, only maybe one (Wish) was limited in verbal English. Being able to communicate with the passengers is how the wait staff can hope to score more than basic gratuities, so, possibly just a newer wait staff employee?

We loved our wait staff last August in Alaska.
