Question-but first, love your videos and I’m definitely going to buy that bag! I see you have corkscrew on your packing list. Is that because you are particular about using your own from home? Your room host will of course bring you wine glasses and a corkscrew to enjoy the bottle you brought aboard, no charge. It’s the first thing we ask for when we get to the room.
my wife and I will be saillabtraring our 30 year anniversary. in 2921 when we go on our first Disney cruise. any ideas where we can buy some decorations for our statroom?
I have at home a fixed assigned drawer for my Disney Cruise stuff: door Magnets, magnet hook, FE hanger, usb fan, organizer-packing bags, big laundry bag "wash me" (best thing ever, you should add to your list: "2 Pack Extra Large Travel Laundry"-), passport organizer, envelope with dollar bills (that I go accumulating from one trip to the next), Disney Gift cards (news and olds in case of a refound something), pirate clothes, other Disney clothes than we wouldn't use anywhere elses (yes, I have that clothes), cruise-ears headband, Castaway club bag, diney sunglasses, tea-battery-lights. (I think that's all LOL)
This will be my 1st Disney cruise, I have only done Carnival, What I normally carry on with me is a carry on, My garment bag and my bathroom bag that has full size bathroom products, can I do this with Disney as well?
Totally! It is all about service and getting what you pay for. Many things are included on the Disney Ship, things that are not included on other cruise lines. The cast members on board, the endless activities, the delicious food.. you cannot go wrong with a Disney cruise. I wont sail on anything else ever again. In fact, my parents sailed Disney, then did 5 other cruise lines. They just told me last month that they were done messing around, and that they are coming back to Disney. They were always disappointed when they sailed the other cruise lines.
You brought up some good points about making a list. I didn't make a list for our last cruise and the things that I forgot I had to buy on the ship.Thanks for sharing.
Nope😃 Disney provides them in the room, and pool towels on the pool deck, pool towels when you get off on castaway, and they even let you take them if you are going on a Disney booked excursion 😍😍
I also have a standard packing list for cruising. It’s so handy. I also add to it regularly and I maintain a “cruise wish list” on my Amazon account. I add new things to it that I discover (like that bag you featured (at least I hope I can find it on Amazon. I haven’t checked, yet) I ) plus items that I regularly need to replenish for a cruise. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in my packing zaniness.
Ashley you are so amazing! Thank you so much for taking so much time and effort in giving us your incredible tips! You have become my favorite travel and cruise Guro! I can't thank you enough for all this incredible information, I love the way you do everything, thank you!!!!
I usually get the magnetic clips from amazon that I have linked in my amazon store 😃 Just make sure you don’t use tape.. otherwise your room steward will yell at you lol
Yeah I bring both because I am an over achiever. I even bring copies of them. You only need to really bring what DCL says for you to on their site based on the route you are going. My next cruise however, I will need both because I have a few in my family that will have expired passports.
I over packed on my first cruise for sure, my family was positive we had to get way more dressy than we did. Sadly I can’t be in my bathing suit all day on this cruise I would be very chilly! We are going to Alaska in the fall, so I am positive we will over pack again as we need to pack for warm, cold and wet.
Hi! Some people suggest that when packing we should pack at least one outfit per person in each of the luggage bags, just in case some of the bags get lost you know you will have something to wear...Have you ever had issues with lost luggage?
Hello, I love your channel! I have a question for you, do the Disney cruises have a microwave anywhere on the ship that people can use? We were thinking about bringing our own popcorn for movies and wondered if there would be a place to microwave it! Thanks! 😊
I am not 100% sure, but I am like 98% sure there is not one. I have never seen one. The popcorn is super duper cheap though.. it is only $1.50 if you get the cardboard box. It is fresh, they have a movie theater snack bar right outside the theater :)
I do not video too too much because I do not want the magic to be ruined for first time cruisers.. but I will post a video of my last trips... it is just clips from here and there.
A suggestion for the bags you pack for you, spouse, kids: Mix up the contents so that each bag has essentials for all of you (underwear, shoes, tops and bottoms). That way, if a bag is lost or delayed, you all still have something to change into.
I bring both because .. I am an over achiever lol. You do not have to, you only really need to stick to what the DCL website says to bring for your cruise route. I also brig copies of everything too.. I know I know.. lol
Love packing videos and Disney cruise line. Great video to end my day. Really looking forward to my next cruise. I can't remember as my first Disney cruise was in 2017, are there some discounts or clearance items on the last day of each cruise?
i have only found a keychain discounted on the ship, and it was available on the first day. They do not really discount things on the last day, because the people boarding the ship 3 hours after you get off will pay full price... unfortunately. However, if you ever hit up the disney character warehouses in orlando you will be able to find deeply discounted DCL items :)
This may have been brought up before: During your title "Everything You Need To Know" I always like how you can sing that to the "When You Wish Upon A Star" chime. 🎶
Why doesn’t Disney Cruise Line offer a diet caffeine free soda? I bring my own (diet Sunkist orange), too! They used to have Sprite Zero, but then stopped offering the fountain version and just have it in cans (which cost $$ at the bars). On our first cruise after the change, I told our dinner servers that I would only have water with dinner. Later that night, I returned to the cabin to find a Sprite Zero six-pack and a note from the servers, with wishes for more enjoyable meals accompanied by something other than water. Now that’s pixie dust! If only they would add a diet caffeine free option permanently. My add to the list is liquid hand soap for the cabin bathroom. I don’t like bar soap and keep Purell for when we’re out and about. And I learned the hard way about forgetting hats and sunglasses. All this planning talk makes me want to go on another cruise! Thanks for all your videos!
WOW! How nice of your servers!!!!! Seriously, I love stories like that! I do get the lemonade sometimes since it is only 5 calories a serving.. but last cruise it kept tasting weird, then by the second day half of them were out of service, and then by the next day they all were out of service! I also agree with you about the soap.. I hate bar soap!
Disney Cruisers well son of a gun. That kinda sucks to take antibiotics all the time. Hard on your system, as I am sure you know. 😞. Please forgive my nosiness.
Yup.. there really isnt a limit. Just remember they will be in your carry on and you will have to carry them around the ship until your room is open. We learned that the hard way... lol
Hey how many items does the garment bag you are talking about hold? Also, are there enough hanger on a cruise to hang all clothes? And sorry one more. I don’t see where the packing list is on the video.
The packing list was in there.. it was a picture that was handwritten :) As far as the garment bag, it holds quite a few things. I cannot use it as my only luggage.. I can only really put one pair of shoes in it. I usually put my dress, heels, socks, jewelry, rolled up pants, swimsuit, hats. My hubby however puts a lot in his.. lots of shirts. The stateroom closet does have some hangers. I dont really know how many.. maybe like ten. However there is a ton of space in the closet area, and there are also dresser drawers. My family of 4 brings a lot and we never have a problem storing it all.
Question-but first, love your videos and I’m definitely going to buy that bag! I see you have corkscrew on your packing list. Is that because you are particular about using your own from home?

Your videos always make my day
Me too I love this channel

@@ginacampbell2486 i so agree with your. Ashley's vedios make our day..

Yes I still love mine and use mine all the time around town👍🏻👍🏻
What is the fan for?
We use one when we sleep 😃
Thank you so much I have had a hard time trying to pack but not over pack thank you again
This will be my 1st Disney cruise, I have only done Carnival, What I normally carry on with me is a carry on, My garment bag and my bathroom bag that has full size bathroom products, can I do this with Disney as well?
I just started our list! 16 days! Great video!
can i take on a case of water? i get migraines so ill be taking ny migraine pills.
Yes but you have to take it in your carry on.
Loved your vlog!!
Thank you :)
I love your videos. They are helpful and you seem awesome and fun! Thank you for posting so much great content.
Thanks JoAnne!! So kind 😊
I always put a few coat hangers in suitcase. There never seems to enough on the ship
Do you think cruising with Disney is better than any other cruise and why we are trying to decide which to cruise
Totally! It is all about service and getting what you pay for. Many things are included on the Disney Ship, things that are not included on other cruise lines. The cast members on board, the endless activities, the delicious food.. you cannot go wrong with a Disney cruise. I wont sail on anything else ever again.

Do u need to pack towels? Going on my 1st cruise soon!
Nope😃 Disney provides them in the room, and pool towels on the pool deck, pool towels when you get off on castaway, and they even let you take them if you are going on a Disney booked excursion 😍😍
Thank you

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! You made me smile :)
Yay! currently using this list now :)
Ashley...can you buy bottles of wine on the ship?
Hi do u use magnets to hang decorations?are ceilings magnetic on The Wonder?
I usually get the magnetic clips from amazon that I have linked in my amazon store 😃 Just make sure you don’t use tape.. otherwise your room steward will yell at you lol
Do you pack birth certificates and passports? If so, why? I was told we only need one or the other, just wondering 😊
I would only bring a passport you don't need both.~Rachel
Yeah I bring both because I am an over achiever. I even bring copies of them. You only need to really bring what DCL says for you to on their site based on the route you are going. My next cruise however, I will need both because I have a few in my family that will have expired passports.
You can always renew them before hand
10 more days!!!
woohoo!
I over packed on my first cruise for sure, my family was positive we had to get way more dressy than we did.
Sadly I can’t be in my bathing suit all day on this cruise I would be very chilly! We are going to Alaska in the fall, so I am positive we will over pack again as we need to pack for warm, cold and wet.
Lol yeah, definitely can’t be in that suit in Alaska!
Yes;!!🛳️💖🍹🌴⚓
YOU POSTED THIS THE DAY I STARTED PACKING FOR MY DISNEY CRUISE!! 😮
Great minds ... great minds.. lol
That’s a lot of bags!!
Hi! Some people suggest that when packing we should pack at least one outfit per person in each of the luggage bags, just in case some of the bags get lost you know you will have something to wear...Have you ever had issues with lost luggage?
Are you a travel agent?
I am not, but I can recommend someone if you would like 👍🏻😄

Hey Ashley! What are your thoughts on Breakfast/Lunch in the MDR? What do you prefer cabanas or mdr
Will there be vlogs of your cruise? I have a merry time cruise booked for this December!
I second the vlog of your cruise!
The Christmas cruises are so much fun. You are going to have the best time. How long is your cruise?~Rachel
I do not video too too much because I do not want the magic to be ruined for first time cruisers.. but I will post a video of my last trips... it is just clips from here and there.
You can watch ours.
A suggestion for the bags you pack for you, spouse, kids: Mix up the contents so that each bag has essentials for all of you (underwear, shoes, tops and bottoms). That way, if a bag is lost or delayed, you all still have something to change into.
Ooooohhhhh very smart!!! I’ll have to remember that!
So do you need to bring birth certificates and passports?
I bring both because .. I am an over achiever lol. You do not have to, you only really need to stick to what the DCL website says to bring for your cruise route. I also brig copies of everything too.. I know I know.. lol
Ashley....are you allowed to buy alcohol in the ports and bring it on the ship? Having a discussion with son and daughter. We all sail on Mar 30.
Love packing videos and Disney cruise line. Great video to end my day. Really looking forward to my next cruise. I can't remember as my first Disney cruise was in 2017, are there some discounts or clearance items on the last day of each cruise?

I feel your pain about packing
Forgive me for asking....but why does your daughter take antibiotics every day of her life? (Professional curiosity)
She has polysplenia... but they do not wrok, so she is treated as functionally asplenic :)
Disney Cruisers well son of a gun. That kinda sucks to take antibiotics all the time. Hard on your system, as I am sure you know. 😞. Please forgive my nosiness.
Hi Ashley. Disregard my 2 previous re alcohol. I found your video re alcohol.
Clicky Clicky Bang Bang
Are you allowed to carry on bottled water...Gatorade...sodas in cans/bottles etc. If so, how much? Also snacks, etc....
Yes you can. I took 12 bottles of Perrier and a case of water. We did the Fantasy in November ~Rachel
Yup.. there really isnt a limit. Just remember they will be in your carry on and you will have to carry them around the ship until your room is open. We learned that the hard way... lol
Love your posts but not very practical for people who fly and has to go through customs.😒
Thanks! Everyone does go through customs when you get off the ship.
