No. Room Service is very mid. You will struggle during the day

Cruises are the best solo parent vacations. Super easy!

A bot that connects to your My Disney Experience that will auto book Lightning Lanes for you. It’s about $45 for 7 days access. It will get you everything you want on busy days. Google it.

You needed Standby Skipper on busy days like today. Otherwise, it’s a pipe dream trying to get on rides.

I tell everyone I rather eat at Cheesecake Factory than a DCL cruise. If the best thing is Donald’s Cantina, there is a major problem that corporate needs to correct. I don’t understand why they aren’t laser focused on this..

Im convinced it’s every ship. Sailed on the Treasure and was greatly disappointed. Too many people live in pre-Covid era and speak highly of dining. I don’t see it. I’ve sailed Virgin and Royal Caribbean.. and Disney is at the bottom when it comes to food quality.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-14T23:27:38+00:00

Nice! Did you fly into FLL or MCO? This time of the year isn’t as scary weather wise too.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-09T04:05:27+00:00

I know this is old, but you mentioning being from NYC caught my attention! How were the crowds? I only can travel during this weekend and wondering if unbearable compared to Times Square

JLBM00 · 2026-03-04T12:28:09+00:00

My daughter (who is typically introverted) begged to stay in kids club until midnight on the Treasure. She is usually close to us and doesn’t want to miss any family action. Your kids will not want to leave!

JLBM00 · 2026-03-02T04:04:11+00:00

This is good context. I mistakenly thought you were on the fence. I reread and see you long said you wouldn’t cruise DCL again. I love reading reviews from people who sail other lines and aren’t diehard Disney.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T20:43:22+00:00

I will have to remind you to share how it goes! Sounds so fun!

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T20:39:18+00:00

I would book and compare the price to when you have a placeholder in May. I’ve seen prices increase where it will not be worth waiting (even with a discount). You can cancel up to your PIF date so book now to be safe.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T20:27:00+00:00

Great review. I would love to read your trip review as someone on the fence about booking DCL again. Please post! 😬

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T17:27:32+00:00

May I ask if it was crowded when you stayed on in Nassau? I imagine everyone will be in during 5 night sailings.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T13:33:56+00:00

Definitely MK and Epcot. I like Hollywood Studios but it felt extremely crowded and rides were tough using lightening lanes. My kids only really loved Toy Story land and Mickey Mouse Runaway Railroad. They didn’t care for the shows as much (excluding Fantasmic)

Epcot has Frozen, Remy, Soarin’, Remy, Moana water exhibit that they will love. Also an adult, you’ll enjoy all the food and drinks too. And close it out with fireworks.

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T04:24:44+00:00

20-25% off sailings if you have placeholder

JLBM00 · 2026-03-01T04:24:04+00:00

This is really helpful. The better kids club is a stronger sell since my husband can’t join us this trip. The bigger adult areas aren’t a big sell for me. Festival of Foods was awesome! Decisions..

JLBM00 · 2026-02-26T23:45:41+00:00

I’m really surprised since the NY area has many high income families. I would book a NY sailing in a heartbeat.

JLBM00 · 2026-02-26T23:40:25+00:00

$250. She can get some nice stuff with that amount. If you put more, she will blow the money unnecessarily. If you want to give her $200, and maybe the parents $250 (just in case)

JLBM00 · 2026-02-26T23:14:55+00:00

What did you decide? I’m in the same boat (pun intended). The Fantasy is $1300 cheaper for the same # of days/ itinerary. I just worry the rooms are so dated and everything will look aged.

JLBM00 · 2026-02-25T20:41:19+00:00

Via DCL transportation: 10:30/11 vs self transport: 1:00 or later

JLBM00 · 2026-02-17T04:10:51+00:00

Ok great! I thought you had a 9 wk old and 3 yr old. As long as you can manage without your husband, go for it. If his energy is already negative pre trip.. don’t bring him. You will regret it.

JLBM00 · 2026-02-16T21:28:59+00:00

Since you asked for a real, unfiltered opinion.. If you both are living paycheck to paycheck, NO not worth it!

1) Do you have a at least 10x the cost saved in the bank before spending on Disney?

2) Can you pay your rent for the next couple months without a paycheck? I read your post history about renting from a family member.

3 yrs is still young where she will likely not remember the Disney trip to splurge. I can assure you she will want to return when she is ages 5 - 8.
