WILL DO AGAIN:
1) Always do Fish Extender exchanges and DIS Meet threads!
And do some form of identification! The all time best cruise we had was when we all did Green DIS rubber bands for everyone and everyone wore them the whole cruise! It was so fun to walk around seeing people that you "knew" and could say hi to, or joke with everywhere on the ship!
(I really hope some people start joining the thread for my upcoming cruise soon! it would be such a bummer not to have this fun!)
2) Always go and play with your kids at the clubs during the open houses! You then get comfortable and familiar with what is there and you see how much fun they are having!
3) Take the time to do the Arts and Crafts family activities! This is always my kids' favorite memories from our cruises! My son has been wowing all his friends with his ability to draw Mickey for years! And he just won a best drawer at school because of it!
4) Always see the shows! No matter how many times we have seen them previously! And just once dress up for dinner and the shows. You won't believe how fun this actually can be!
5) Always find a time to be able to do an adult dinner: Palo & Remy have been my favorite memories of all time!
The private room at Palo:
6) Always dance and be silly with the kids at the parties prior to and after dinner! They will never forget it!
7) Always go right to the Mickey Pool (now going to be AquaLab) upon boarding with swimsuits on! Get a table, set up and then go get some food while the kids play! Then every day do the same for breakfast!
8) Always tell
DCL about our special celebrations!
WON'T DO AGAIN
1) Agree to share a table with others.
2) Go to Parrot Cay or any of the dining rooms you are forced into upon Boarding - Just go up to the pools and get food as you feel like it. This always makes me feel like you are being forced to eat on a flippin cruise!! You will never ever ever be hungry or need to fight to get to food on a cruise!! Such a waste of time! And the food is like, meh a this buffet. And the kids are completely not at their best ever upon boarding!
3) Cruise anything other than a verandah cabin. We tried it once for a two day and the cabin actually ended up having a huge issue with it and we were moved.... BACK TO A VERANDAH! Thank Goodness!!!!
THERE YA GO!!!
