Top 15 Must-Do's on a Disney Cruise // Ultimate Guide for First-Timers

[@michellerampersaud]

We’re cruising for the 3rd time next December with our soon to be family of 4, on the Disney Treasure! One must on cruising for me is the punch card they give you for drinks in Cove Cafe!

[@thehamfamily6]

You guys have inspired us once again 🤩 and we finally booked our FIRST Disney cruise! We are so excited and are binging all of your Disney cruise content to get prepared! 🎉

[@bri922010]

First time cruising on the Magic in January. We are super excited!

[@beeguise2876]

We are going on our first cruise Nov 2nd on Fantasy!! We can’t hardly wait! & love all your videos it’s helped so much knowing what to expect & to pack! I think I’m most excited about the sail away party!😊

[@jacke9113]

Going on the Wish in 2 weeks. This is my first cruise. Going with my son, daughter-in-law and grandson. So excited

[@OurZRoll]

Yay!! How exciting! You guys will have the best time!

[@PaulGuerrero-u8q]

Going on the Treasure Feb 2025!!! 4th Disney Cruise and I will definitely try the Room Service for the first time. Thanks for all you do with this channel!

[@fishbulb34]

This was excellent! My family’s first cruise was two years ago on the Dream. We go on the Wish for a Christmas cruise and I am making my to do list now. Thank you for all the information!

[@suzakuangel12]

We're going on the Wish for our first cruise this coming December! So excited for all the things you guys mentioned 🎉🎉

[@joykinser3444]

I'm also going on the Wish in December. There is just something extra magical about a Merrytime Cruise!

[@joykinser3444]

We do all of these things! We have sailed twice and are booked for our 3rd in December. We are far from pearl pros, but we do enjoy all these offerings on our cruises. We also like to do mid ship detective agency (it is something different and uses your phone on the Wish class). We are not fans of fish extenders. We used to hide 1 duck each before they were banned and it was fun seeing kids looking or that had found ours. Also for adults only Match Your Mate is a newlywed game style game show and it is usually really funny.

[@OurZRoll]

Love this! Oh yes, 'Match Your Mate' is so much fun! We always make sure to catch that game show!

[@laurieobrien673]

Deck 4 on the Magic, Wonder, Dream & Fantasy is what our family calls the under appreciated deck. Where the walking track and shuffle board is. Like you mentioned a great place to hang out watch the sunset or read a book. Exactly 1 week and we will be embarking on the Disney Fantasy ( February 14-21) 🎉🎉. Love all your video content.

[@jessicasedai5788]

We'll be first time cruisers on the Fantasy in the Med for 2025 as our honeymoon. Excited to hear about the walking course honestly, will definitely need to walk off all the treats LOL!

[@susanshattuck1498]

Thankyou for all of your tips! Our family is going on the new Disney Treasure this January 2025. This will be the first cruise for 8 out of 10 of our family members! We are all so excited. There are three children. We will take all of your tips with us! Thankyou 🥰❤ 🥰❤ 🥰❤

[@christinelopresto8027]

This is our first time!!! we are so excited. I’m not going until June 2025. I can’t wait. Your podcasts have been very helpful talking about the Treasure. Looking forward to more about the Treasure. 😉

[@sabrinafair7444]

December 7th Fantasy will be the very first cruise for hubby (81) and I (74). Hope it won’t be our last. Will probably ask ourselves why we waited so long!

[@kennethpreston9813]

The Fantasy is my favorite Disney ship. You will love it!

[@jenniferdesroches8896]

We have our first Disney cruise booked for end of February next year on the Fantasy! Can’t wait!! Looking forward to the room service!! 🎉

[@OurZRoll]

Yes! The room service does not disappoint! Haha! Have the best time!

[@MelissaKeeling-k2o]

My sister and I are going on our first cruise for our birthdays in February (my sister, brother and I are all born on the same day but 2 years apart). We will be going on the Wish. I have been enjoying your videos, they are very helpful. My sister and I are so excited to go on this cruise. My sister will be turning 50 and we are thinking that we may go on another cruise for my 50th. February can't get here fast enough. Much love to your family.

[@ayeshanz85]

Going on our first Disney cruise next week on the Magic! I’m so excited for my family!!

[@JillSanchez]

April 2025 Disney Wonder. This will be our first disney cruise of family of 4 (2 little girls). We’re very excited! These tips will definitely on our list to what to do in the ship! Thanks

[@dianalaflumboise8148]

My husband and I are also going on the Wonder out of San Diego in late April, (7 day cruise)!

[@JillSanchez]

@@dianalaflumboise8148 ours will be 4nights baja cruise. Have fun you guys!

[@shelbypolite8053]

Did the wish as our first cruise ever. Now we are looking forward to a longer sailing like the treasure

[@kaylac7357]

We set sail for the first time ever on the wish in under 2 weeks. I’m looking forward to everything but mostly the trivia nights, the food, and the drawing classes.

[@OurZRoll]

YES!!! You guys will have the best time!

[@lisaschwartz3436]

We will be on the Treasure in November 2025. My first Disney cruise. But first cruise ever for a few of our group. I’m absolutely stoked!

[@DomesticKrys]

We’ll be on the Magic soon! First cruise for 1/2 my family and 2nd DCL for the other 1/2! My husband couldn’t make our 1st due to work so his mom came and then we had 2 more kids! Our teens know but our little kids think we’re just going to the beach! We didn’t do room service on our first and I know my husband is really looking forward to that this time. I also want to enjoy the promenade deck & relax!!!!

[@jessicamckenzie7745]

First time cruiser! Wonder in February. Can't wait for the Royal Gathering. And now room service! 😊

[@OurZRoll]

Yay! Have the best time!!

[@disdailylife]

When we went on our Disney Cruise, Inside Out 2 was playing! The movie wasn't out yet! Love your alien t-shirt!

[@HUMDUDE]

A must do for us is to swim at night with a Disney movie on the giant tv and the AquaDuck neon lights on. Awesome experience!

[@cavilier]

Every Disney cruise we make it a point not to miss "Jack Jack's Diaper Dash" It is so much fun to watch

[@Babayaga.77]

I’m going on another cruise in 2 months and I can’t wait to watch that for the first time

[@OurZRoll]

The BEST!

[@comeonson2013]

Deck 4 is the most underrated location if you are wanting a quieter place to relax!

[@OurZRoll]

Right?! The BEST!

[@MP-cr7uf]

With exception to room service, we definitely did all these things on our first DCL cruise on the Dream. We are currently planning our 2nd cruise on the Magic, which we are looking forward to as well. I knew about DCL room service, but just never felt the need to eat in our stateroom. We loved eating in the main dining room for nearly all our meals and if we needed a snack, we would just split a plate of chicken tenders/fries, get a couple slices of pizza, or enjoy some soft serve ice cream. We kept cold bottled water and would fill our own refillable water bottles with soda to sip on in our room/out on our verandah, but didn’t have the need to order food to be delivered. My daughter actually preferred ordering a Mickey Bar in the dining room for dessert because it would then come with Mickey sprinkles and served in a shallow dish for easier eating. For me, the cruise is all about taking a break from major cleaning, so other than a quick straightening up of our stateroom, I don’t want anything more to clean (or smell) for either me or our room Stewart. Our room Stewart told us we had the cleanest room of the entire floor (we used lots of organizing tools to keep our floors, counter tops, and bathroom sinks cleared off). However, I think it is great that Disney offers such a service and may try it someday (my daughter is normally a big cheese and cracker fan), but there is so much to do outside the stateroom on a cruise that we found we wanted to prioritize more (and were honestly kept full just eating our meals and mentioned snacks). It is definitely something to consider for parents with small kids and/or constantly hungry teenagers/adults, but as of yet it wasn’t needed for our family. Very helpful video-great tips for first time cruising and reminders for repeat cruisers. Thanks!

[@adl1222]

First timer here !!! We are going on the Disney wish :)

[@sineaddennis685]

First cruise on the Wonder in December (sailing from Auckland) - I’ve been most excited for room service and Mickey bars but apparently the last time they sailed from NZ they didn’t have stock!! So hoping that isn’t the case for us.

[@rchiariello]

I may have started a list of things I didn't get a chance to do on my last Disney cruise. A movie in the theater, room service, Palo brunch, and the Castaway Cay 5k are already on there.

[@ingelaeiberg4580]

First time ever cruising for us will be the Wonder down here in New Zealand 13th to the 17th of December ❤

[@OurZRoll]

YES! How exciting! You guys will have so much fun!

[@kevinbooton1675]

🚢✨ These 15 tips for a Disney cruise are absolute MAGIC!! 🌟 The must-know onboard must do's 🏰🛳️ The tips on dining reservations and rotations, character meet-and-greets, and the other tips you've shared on saving money are super helpful-perfect for first-time cruisers and Disney veterans alike. Thanks for making planning so much easier! 🙌 Keep the awesome Disney content coming! 🎉⚓️

[@kevinbooton1675]

My underrated thing is Wish specific but could be on the Treasure and Destiny. It's to go see the Kids Goodnight and the Chandelier Wake Up. It's such a Disney way to bookend the day.

[@joykinser3444]

Yes! The kiss goodnight is one of the things we are most looking forward to. I have never heard of the Cinderella's wake up though.

[@rebekahfoxworthy995]

First time sailing on the disney wish next may 2025. I am so excited and also for my 30th birthday 🎉😂

[@OurZRoll]

Yay! Have the best time!

[@nickneibaur2674]

We are going on our first Disney cruise. Sailing on the Disney wish September 16-20th. We are very excited. Any other tips or tricks we need to know?

[@OurZRoll]

So exciting! It’s almost here! We have a playlist called 'Disney Cruise Info' with lots of tips and tricks! kzbin.info/aero/PLr7WyY6VvKzdL-BDJZ-xySRPAwvd7s6M3&si=aWQ4B5s9NNJhXGaY

[@nickneibaur2674]

Amazing! Thank you. I’ll look through these videos! Your videos are perfect. Very informative!

[@melysamoore4209]

First time on the Fantasy in February!

[@OurZRoll]

Love this!

[@evilauthor13]

I'll be going on my first cruise with Disney later this year. We're going on the Dream. I've already booked my character call. Goofy will be calling me at 7pm 31 days before my cruise to help remind myself to do my online check in.

[@ireneazevedo2401]

We’re planning to go to Disney world before our cruise, (in 2025) what are all your recommendations and pointers you’d give for doing both big trips in a week.

[@Earthslittlesecrets]

The first time, Treasure😊

[@sophianieves7882]

First time cruising on the magic (:

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I’m just curious because I have not watched your channel from the beginning. But how do you afford so many cruises? They aren’t cheap.

[@jacksbo6823]

Something we do is order room service every morning at 630am…there is something about seeing the sun rise from your verandah! We are early risers and need our coffee too 😂

[@OurZRoll]

That sounds simply magical! Love this!
