Disney Fantasy Cruise | 6 Days 5 Nights Practical Guide

Just returned from a 6-day, 5-night trip aboard the Disney Fantasy departing from Orlando, and there’s so much to share! The whole family had an absolute blast, though we did encounter a few minor hiccups 🤣. This guide is for first-time Disney cruise-goers, packed with useful tips 👇 🎒 Pre-boarding Checklist 📲 Download the Disney Cruise Line app! 👉 You can check in online, select your boarding time, and dinner seating 30 days in advance. We snagged a 10:30 AM boarding time, avoiding lines and catching both lunch and afternoon tea! 👑 Must-know for families with kids who love dressing up! For character meet-and-greets, princess makeovers, and interactive sessions, reservations open 75 days in advance. Popular slots fill up fast, so set a reminder! 🎁 Door Magnets + Pixie Dust Gifts Many cabin doors are decorated. We brought custom badges, and the kids quickly made friends by exchanging small gifts—such a heartwarming atmosphere ❤️. 🛳️ Boarding Process Simplified We boarded at Port Canaveral, and the process went like this: 1️⃣ Luggage drop-off 2️⃣ QR code check-in 3️⃣ Security screening 4️⃣ Boarding 🎉 There’s even a Mickey welcome ceremony onboard—super festive and perfect for photos 📸. ⚠️ Checked luggage won’t arrive at your room until the evening, so pack swimwear and chargers in your carry-on! 🌐 Honest Wi-Fi Review Wi-Fi onboard isn’t cheap—about $24 per device per day. It’s okay for basic browsing but forget about streaming 😂. Turn it on only when necessary and focus on relaxing instead. 🎭 Don’t Miss These Highlights! 🍽️ Opt for the 5:45 PM dinner seating—it’s perfectly timed to catch the evening theater shows! 🎬 We watched live musicals of *Aladdin* and *Frozen*. The performances were absolutely stunning, and the kids were glued to their seats. The whole family clapped along together 👏. Arrive 30 minutes early for good seats! 🏴☠️ Pirate Night is the most electrifying event! Everyone dresses up as pirates, and after the deck party, there’s a fireworks show 🎆. Even my parents joined in the dancing—it was adorable and hilarious! 📍 A Few Tested Tips: ✅ Rooms don’t come with toothbrushes or toothpaste—bring your own. ✅ Bottled water onboard costs extra, so bring a reusable water bottle. ✅ U.S. three-prong adapters are essential—outlets are limited. ✅ Kids can spend the whole day at the Kids Club, giving adults some much-needed relaxation time ☀️. This Disney Fantasy cruise was truly a dream come true for the whole family ❤️. Whether you’re traveling with kids or parents, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
