If you had one piece of advice.....

(2) Get up early and go up on deck 4. Walk the deck just a couple of times. You will get to watch the ship wake up, see amazing sunsets and walk off that food from the night before.

Get up early to see the sunset I guess after tax season, getting up to see the sunset is early. And I thought that when my teenager got up at noon that was late

Don't make the same mistakes my husband and I made on our honeymoon cruise...

Bring enough dress clothes for dinner! I was busy planning our WDW wedding and had already been in Disney for close to 2 weeks before we left for our cruise and didn't read the Disboards to know that Disney's idea of "resort casual" and my idea of resort casual was two different things! We missed a few dinners because I didn't feel properly dressed.

Bring extra cash and even though you don't think you need your debit card or check book, bring it anyway! We ran out of CASH! It was so embarrassing!!!

Don't miss the shows!We only saw 1 show and now that I am reading the board faithfully, I see we REALLY missed out. We will NOT miss the shows THIS time!!!

Get there EARLY! The line for check-in was busy, busy, busy! We will be one of the first 50 for this cruise, if I have to drag my husband out of bed!

Spend the extra $$$ and get a towncar. We found this out the hard way -- we had to wait for the bus to fill up and then go to the airport and then every Disney resort hotel (we happened to be the last resort on the list). The whole ride took 3 1/2 hrs and Monsters, Inc. ran out before we got there Not that I blame Disney for this, but it isn't as convenient and the time we lost in WDW was worth more to me than the extra money would've been.

Finally, RELAX and ENJOY!!!! Sadly, it's over before you know it so relax and take it all in!

Happy sailing!
