Disney Cruise Tips & Tricks!

[@steveseattle140]

I've watched hours of Disney Wish content; you're the only one to feature/use the laundry room! Kudos

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha we tried to do it all (and failed)

[@BelleMoonbeam]

I love that Belle promotes reading 😍📚

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha of course

[@Vice4Life]

"Do you wanna go outside?" "No." I felt that 'no' in my soul.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@TodaysNewsFull]

“It’s almost like the ship is saying do you want to go outside?” “Do you want to go outside?” “No.” 😆 You two are hilarious and also so relatable. Thank you for making this video! I came across it while researching about Disney cruises as I want to take my two kids. The tips are great for a first timer like myself.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha 😂

[@daverumbear7668]

my cat currently has a UTI and it has me stressed out and sad but I went and got some food and clicked on this video and Im feeling better. Thanks for being here to cheer people up!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Sorry to hear about your car but glad we could give you some cheering up

[@charlenemorton8779]

LMAO @ Peter's shirts being all black....he's my spirit animal!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😂 this is true

[@AKbaby89]

Im a recovering addict, so when you said a friends of Bill W. Meeting, i knew exactly what it was😂 thats super cool that they have meetings on the ship! I dont go anymore, but they can be super important for some people, so its cool to know theres meetings on the cruise. If you ever hear someone paging friends of bill w., its usually someone who is struggling and is asking for help. Ive heard it on a plane before, but its a well known thing for people in the community, especially AA❤

[@StoneUSA]

OMG right off the bat Belle is super pro!!! She directed your conversation with expertise.

[@ghostofthemaiar]

Lol, it's so cute how the captain/co-captain waved back 🤣

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Loved that

[@GalileoHQ]

I absolutely love that y’all showed us the closet full of the same OA shirts

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

[@ragnaroverby]

laughed at Peter's closet just being full of black Tshirts

[@StoneUSA]

Peter might secretly be a gamer. hmmm.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😂 both kitra and is wardrobes are 95% black tshirts

[@itsjustbrandy4290]

I really really enjoyed this laid back "behind the scenes" video. Like I said before, I found you from Shane and I just adore you two already! I grew up in Huntington Beach so Disney was my life. You guys bring that magic back into my heart.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@dannyzuko898]

Love that you gave the friends of Bill W pro tip👏 you guys never cease to happily surprise me! 👍❤️

It’s honestly something I wondered for a few cruises before I figured it out

Thank you for giving us YOUR tips and tricks instead of just spouting off all the ones everyone has heard before. Thank you!! And good tips and tricks btw.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks Mary

[@jaklg7905]

Hi guys. So if you are flying in, stay at the Hyatt at MCO the night before and use Disney transportation. That will get you an early boarding group #. I just checked in for my cruise and I got a PAT of 11am(which doesn't really matter) and boarding group number 3. Either book the Hyatt through Disney, or if you find a better deal on your own, then let Disney know that you are staying at the Hyatt so that they have you on the list. For anyone who likes hot wings, the room service ones are good. Also, the restaurants are full kitchens and have the standard items even if they are not on the menu. So you can get something like a Caesar salad every night if you want. Be sure to tip your serving staff extra if you have them run around though.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Good tip

[@strictlyspeaking1943]

Love how Kitra second guesses her response to situations!! She's so darn funny and relatable!!

Hello from New Zealand! Just wanted to quickly say that both my mum and I are going on our first Disney Cruise on board the Disney Wonder from Auckland in December. I also wanted to say a huge thank you to you both for this video as it couldn't have come at a better time and certainly helped out a lot with our very first cruise. Have a great day

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks awesome. Have so much fun on your cruise

[@YvetteAguilarx]

Thanks for sharing!! I loved kitra waving at the cast member when you guys were at the front of the ship lol

10:35….I wonder if there are any other cruise lines that do this…I am quite impressed they offer this! (I am not a friend of Bill W myself…but both of my parents were…)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I think it might be a thing on all the big cruise lines

[@ladytitan27]

Hi Peter and Kitra. Thanks so much for the tips and tricks. Nice to know the Disney Wish has a laundry room. I especially enjoyed the tips on how to get on the ship early and making reservations in the more popular spots. Really enjoyed this video. Hope you both have a great weekend.

[@almckimmey8898]

FINALLY!!! I enjoyed all your previous videos. But this was what I needed!! A BIG THANK YOU!!! Now, can you answer a few more scenarios, please? Like: 1. luggage; people talk about finding itr at your room (how, when, ???) but at the same time I see people with back packs walking onto the boat...so the luggage option is optional? 2. Rotational Dining; how does that happen, do we have to select it on the app, during check in, are we informed by the cruise (how, when?) who gives us the rotational schedule? 3. What things NOT to do (pro nono tip?) on board? How do we tip? (you go room service but I did not see how you gave them a tip) What about disembarking: Do we tip then? ( I'm used to leaving the $$$$ on the night table), 4. Getting up very early in morning (like 5am); what's open and what's closed? 5. "IF" we go to a pool or hot tub..do we just walk around in our bathing suits and bathrobes from our room? OR do we disrobe at the place and leave our clothes on a chair? 6!!?!?! What about SECURITY? Do I leave my wallet at the room (I case I need $$$$???) or other valuables while moving around the boat. I know there is a safe; I'm just wondering about when we are out and about...very nice video thank you....

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Luggage they bring to your room. Rotation dining is already set. Extra tipping can be with cash, but there is already a base tip that is automatic.

[@Chaddehh]

Woohoo New Video!! Love ITT!❤️

[@wingednikee]

Just catching up, great video. The coffee art machine was so cool. I remember they featured one of those in a D23 Expo

You guys are awesome, best tip video so far! Would love to see you do a cruise for concierge experience as well as talk about tipping on these cruises (which apparently went through some recent changes I heard).

We’ve never done concierge before, it’s so expensive and never thought we’d get the value out of it. But maybe someday. I’d love to see what it’s like

I don’t think they do reservations for hyperspace anymore but they might if there’s a lot of demand. I’m sorry I don’t know about the cup.

Hi there! I watch often but comment infrequently, sorry! I did want to mention, in one of your last videos you said we might be sick of the WISH videos but I definitely am not and very much appreciate all the details! I have a private playlist for travel research and saved them all! I turned 52 this year and have only been able to afford one vacation my entire life! 😄 and I went to Disney World when I graduated University back in 1994! I was lucky enough to stay at the Polynesian Resort and back then it was affordable and all inclusive! I definitely can’t afford it now but the WISH seems a great option for me as I save up for my second vacation which will hopefully be when I am 55-60! Thanks again!! Your efforts are appreciated! Hope the ankle is better! Love from 🇨🇦

Hi Kitra/Peter, Can you talk about how you kept in contact with each other using the Navigator app if you weren't in the same physical space? I've read that you can text through it, and even that someone said iMessage can go through the ships wifi. Can you confirm/share your knowledge on this?

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yes you can keep contact by messaging on the app 👍

[@Solacefoundandcurated]

[@TheFreedomgal]

Would you recommend preordering the picture package that is offered on the Disney Wish app or just buying pictures individually

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We honestly have never done either. We like taking photos with our phone and usually just do that. Also we think it’s too much money. That said, if you have a big family trip and want to do all the photos, the photo package is a good idea. We just don’t care about all those backdrop opportunities and take our own photos

So is there a way to know when the Arendalle show will be happening? Or do you just find out when you get on the ship?

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

On a Disney cruise they have what is called rotational dining. So each night you get a different restaurant. You don’t find out which day you get what until you get on the ship.

What part of the ship is better to stay, the front, middle or back? I'm a first timer and worried about getting sick. What do you suggest?

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Middle is always the best and it’s supposed to be less movement on lower decks (but you get a less good view out your porthole or veranda.

Great video and recommendations. Does anyone recommend doing the onshore excursions at Nassau? Is it worth it to do Atlantis and the dolphin experience?

Also I hear you can use Disney gift cards to pay for your stateroom and for things on the ships in the gift shop is this true
