  1. Just got home from a Disney Cruise. Bring a travel mug/ large mug to get drinks from the drink machines on the upper decks. They provide small cups. Also bring your own snorkel gear if you plan on snorkeling at Castaway Cay. The rental is steep. Don't bring any towels, the ship provides all the towels you need, you just need to pack them off the ship. At Port Canaveral, they never checked how many bottles of wine we brought on board. I also recommend that you slap a luggage sticker on a case of water bottles or two, depending on how much water you drink, and turn it in with your luggage. 

  2. I sent an email to the cruise line help email. Here is the response I got:

    Dear Specularius,

    Thank you for choosing a Disney Cruise Line vacation!

    I would be happy to assist with information regarding bringing electronic items onboard.

    Personal, battery-operated DVD players may be brought onboard the Disney Cruise Line ships. 

    Gaming units (such as Nintendo, Wii, Nintendo Switch, etc.) are not able to be brought onboard the ships as the equipment may not be compatible with the stateroom televisions. 

    Guests can go to Disney's Oceaneer Lab during Family Time to play Wii. Once onboard, please check your Personal Navigator for times. 

    If you decide to bring this type of equipment on the ship, it should be carried in a day bag. 

    I hope this information has been helpful. If you require further assistance with any other inquiries, please feel free to contact us. 

    Have a Magical Day!

    I have heard a rumor that Nintendo Switch handheld gaming devices are now banned from Disney Cruise line ships. Is this true? Should my child leave his Switch at home?

    Thanks,

    I am crying after yesterday's last second loss to LSU. Then had to suffer through the boring Bama game as hubby had folks over.

    Well, At least you were not at that BORING Bama game....as a fan of the team with the worst defense in all of college football. It was an exciting first 11 seconds and then it went down hill fast....faster than the Log in Splash Mountain.

  4. Another option is the spend the night before at one of the hotels in Port Canaveral that offers the cruise package where you can park your car at the hotel while you are on the cruise. The hotel shuttle drops you off and picks you up. It comes out cheaper than the parking at the port. It is not as secure as the parking at the port, but so far we have not had any issues going that route. We did leave our fifth wheel camper at The Fort for a 4 day cruise last summer. We spent a couple of days in The Fort, then went on the cruise and spent a few more days in The Fort before heading home. 

     

    Oh yeah, don't forget the toll road fees traveling between Disney World and Port Canaveral. But it is much cheaper to drive even with the tolls.

    One big piece of advice...Take the longest cruise available. There is so much to see that the short cruises are just too short. Make sure that whichever cruise you book makes a stop in Icy Point Straight (Hoonah). It was the best stop of the entire cruise with the best fresh crab place ever at a reasonable cost. Also, always be looking outside. There is a breath taking view with every turn of the ship. It is nothing like cruising the Bahamas or the Caribbean. I am still working on pictures for my report. It is going slow with 2 weeks of work to catch up on.
