Disney Cruise Haul, First-Time Disney Cruiser Tips & COVID Restriction Thoughts

[@brendaloyd907]

I love the orange Mickey shirt. On our first cruise we got one pirate light up mug. Love it.

[@lbellebooks]

Yes to chicken parm video... Loved the Our Z roll mug on the mug shelf! Yes to videos of family hanging out together👍

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Sounds good! Love that mug 😁

[@shawnas.2968]

That is a great mug with characters as anchors! I also collect mugs on vacation. Tea and coffee always tastes better in a Disney mug. 😉

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Carrie loves that mug! And yes, they do taste better!

[@gavenmclrn]

I was on the cruise right after you got off. It was my second Disney Cruise. My family and I loved it.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

So fun!!! Maybe we waved at you while not at all being jealous 😂

[@annemarieburt3657]

Yes! I’d love to see the cooking video! We are going on the fantasy 1/29!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thx! We hope you have a great cruise!!!

[@madcapcoll]

thanks again from Downunder, see you on the Magic in 2023

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😁 Can’t wait!

[@CozySleeptimeWorlds]

Great family cruise vlogs! My family is doing Alaska next week!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

We hope you and your family have an amazing time!!

[@CozySleeptimeWorlds]

@@AdventuresinMillerland thanks so much!

[@brianpettit8951]

That purse is so cute

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks!

[@AuburnHuhmann]

I love that mug too! We got off the ship without buying one but it was a close thing. Many years ago they had a mystery pin you could add to your purchase onboard and the collection was the characters as anchors just like on the mug! It was so cool to see those designs brought back on the mug. I don’t regret not buying the mug…not yet at least. 🙃🤣 Great tips Millers! You did such a great job on this whole series. Very helpful and very organized. Well done! 🎉👏🌻

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks Auburn 😊 That’s so fun to know they were pins at one point. Having fun watching your PC cruise vlogs!

[@Debbieolson52]

Great video of your haul from your Disney cruise from your friend in Illinois……btw a cooking video would be great.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thx Debbie 😊

[@KateSpiller]

Great tips!! Will store them away for hopefully sometime soon when my family and I go on a Disney cruise! Yes, to the cooking video!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thx!!! Hope you guys get to use those tips eventually 😊

[@christinekilgore1992]

I’d watch a cooking video. That would be fun to see all of you cooking it together👍🏻

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Great! Hope you can check it out!

[@Denise-xm8mn]

Your review and excitement are so great. Yes, ABSOLUTELY do a cooking video!!!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thx! Look for it in December 👍

[@cynthiam6038]

You guys are the best. Glad you enjoyed the bag! Cynthia & Joe “Bob.”

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

☺️🤣 Thanks!!

[@samandkellealbrecht9034]

Yay! Another adventures in Millerland Vlog!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks! Love the excitement 😊

[@tammydahl386]

We have done both first and second dining and second seemed to have a more relaxed, less rushed feel. It's been fun to watch your cruise vlogs!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks again Tammy! We can’t compare it with early seating, but we loved it.

[@carriecramer3612]

Good to hear that everything exceeded expectations. Totally agree that cruises seem "safer" now than the theme parks, which was why we chose to go on our very first Disney cruise in February 22. Totally would have bought BOTH mugs, collector myself. And of course you should share the chicken recipe, how fun is that! Yup, seen Hamilton, multiple times, totally on board with all Hamilton references.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Yup - agreed! We hope you have a great cruise in Feb!! And the mug regrets are real! And thx for the feedback about the chicken recipe. Looks like we’ll be doing it 🤞

[@rebeccasills2995]

Y’all’s shirts are so cute! I love your haul and all the goodies you snagged especially THAT MUG! Then again I collect coffee mugs so that’s right up my alley. Thank you for sharing!!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks!! I (Chris) love collecting mugs! I probably have a few I should pass on to some friends at this point though 😊

[@DeannaSteinle]

Love this video! I also love seeing your prospective!!! The sticker exchange made me laugh so hard.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

😂 Glad we could bring a smile and a good laugh your way!! Thx Deanna 😊

[@carolsehmel3503]

Yes, make the chicken video!!!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thx for your vote of confidence

[@gandsmeyer2957]

I wish Disney cruiseline would give out a deck of dcl playing cards as a gift instead of multiple backpacks.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Great idea! There are so many useful gifts they could give out for repeat passengers.

[@misschris4395]

So excited for this vlog!!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks Christine!!

[@zholayne.granados]

Thank you for your videos. We're going on the Wonder next week and it will be our first Disney cruise. I'd be happy to get you the mug and mail it to you. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks again!!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

That’s so exciting!!! Thanks for saying hi! We hope you all have an amazing time on your first cruise with Disney 😀 That is so kind of you to offer 😊 Thankfully, I had a friend who was on a recent sailing on the Wonder and he picked one up for me! Thanks!!

[@janitabeckford2871]

They have free dramamines on the ship.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

We heard that too. I believe they are the kind that make you drowsy I think. We like to bring our own do others can get those 👍😊

[@JessiiOrtega]

Great tips! Def make the recipe!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks! Carrie is pretty sure she’ll do it!

[@TheMangerinoAdventures]

Overall thoughts about the cruise sounded amazing and yes the shopping onboard has been hit hard due to covid. There would have been lots of fun Halloween on the high sea merch exclusive to DCL and that didn’t even happen for you guys. Overall it sounds like you guys nailed your experience! Also looking forward to bonus vblogs. Christmas is all about family and giving and giving that extra unexpected vlog would be fun surprise if possible. Yes you guys should totally remake that chicken parm from Palo. Anyways thanks for another fun vlog!

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Thanks Mangerinos! You are always so encouraging 😊 Next sailing we’ll get all the mugs 😂 Looking forward to sharing a bit more this next month!

[@ldeglian]

Glad you guys enjoyed your first cruise! Yes on the chicken parm video. Oh and if you are looking for another backpack, let me know. Headed our on the Magic next week would be happy to send our bag to you. I miss the days of the silver, gold and platinum-specific gifts. We still use the blankets and canvas totes from those days some 15 years later.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

You are so thoughtful! We have a few cruises coming up in the next year, so we’re ok, but maybe fairy dust it to another family 😊 thanks again! Here’s to hoping they update those gifts soon!

[@guadaluperay2281]

Hi, which hotel did you stay across the street from the Disney cruise port???

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

It’s the Spring Hill Suites San Diego Downtown/Bayfront. You can see the room tour & more on our travel day vlog 👍😊

[@brendaloyd907]

My travel agent hasn’t gifted on board or anything. I’m just wondering if that’s rare or what. This is our second cruise.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Every agent is different. Whatever they offer typically comes out of their commission. Always good to remember that 😊

[@OfMiceAndTrains]

We also thought the onboard stores were lacking merchandise. I think DCL didn’t order much not knowing the future. Hopefully next year all the cruise merchandise will be back in the stores. Are cruises in early October were the first I didn’t buy a DCL shirt in over twenty cruises. Again thanks for sharing your videos.

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

Glad it wasn’t just us who felt that way. Thanks for the insight for what we will likely experience on our next sailing next year. It still didn’t dampen our experience! I am sure we’ll do another Halloween cruise again 😁 There is always next time (except for the mugs 🤣)

[@brittanyratzlaff3316]

We are going on the wonder pretty soon and can pick up one of the mugs you wanted. We hoard mugs too so I get it 😂

[@AdventuresinMillerland]

We hope you have an amazing cruise on the Wonder!! and That. Would. Be. Amazing! Go ahead and send us a DM on our Instagram to figure out the details and I can send you a pic of the mug. Thx so much!!!
