Seeing that traffic is the sole reason I never book an early flight on a cruise. Noon is the earliest I would ever take a flight. Yes you can do earlier ones but its a gamble.
Just a quick tidbit again because I was a travel agent: If a cruise outside a Disney cruise is costing you the same, you're planning incorrectly. For example, Royal Caribbean averages $779 a person, 7 day cruise. No where near a Disney cruise. Just have to pick the right cruise departure, days etc. Also Royal Caribbean will let you bring things on the ship that Disney will not. It takes less research for most OTHER cruise lines
In addition: a big no no for booking cruises is the same as flights etc, you book to close to departure, you pay more. Cruises have sales etc and those things when utilized will save you a ton of money.
i'm wondering if you have a children with that statement. Most people with kids once in school travel school breaks 95 percent of the time unless for like maybe a special birthday trip. The cruise prices are high no matter what ship.
@@mare8371 They are only compensated when they let us know they are at the beginning of the vlog that Disney has done so or a travel company has done so.
We have cruised a lot and agree. Disney is at least 2x the cost if not more then other cruises compared to the same length of time. But with Disney you get entertained with your meals, the regular entertainment is far superior, they are the only cruise with fireworks, characters, free soda. So if you want to go on a cruise to see the world, do a different cruise line. If you want the cruise itself to be your vacation, Disney.
Our Disney cruise to Alaska is double the price of Royal Caribbean. They have lots of specialty restaurants, but you don’t have to eat there every night just like you wouldn’t go to Palo every night.
I just can’t get over taking a cruise to Castaway Cay and then not going to Castaway Cay. 😭 I know you’ve been many times but still lol I love it there!
I agree….I don’t care if that’s not what Jackson wanted to do or not, you paid alot for that cruise we getting off this boat and going to the island…sorry kid 🤷🏻♀️
@@CherieBusbyidk they have been many times. I’ve only been once and while I would love to go again I wasn’t like super amazed by it lol I guess cause it’s just kinda like a beach and it’s kinda like their water parks without the rides lol
As a former preschool teacher I just have to say I love how you guys seem to work so hard to keep Jackson’s schedule as consistent as possible when it comes to school. Even with all of your staycation videos I always hear you talk about Jackson being in school or being dropped off/picked up.
I agree, I said something to my husband, I love that Tim and Jen keep taking Jackson to school regardless if they are on a staycation or not. Good for them!
Tip from someone who used to work in a luggage store: Double check what brand made your cruise luggage. Most luggages will come with a warranty that would cover the wheel being fixed/replaced
Another Disney vlogger got the cruise line luggage. It barely survived the 1st use flying London to Orlando. Between checking into the cruise and the luggage arriving to his room, the luggage was no longer usable. The CM's tried to fix it and they ended up replacing it with a non cruise product...
Love that you admit you just like Disney and seeing Mickey ❤I have no desire to go on a cruise and I am watching the others videos and they don’t seem half as fun for families and they are saying everything is an up charge 🤷♀️ Thank you for showing the three day cruise and you actually made me say maybe after watching ❣️Love that you ditched the nanny and showed real life parenting also ❤❤❤❤
Lol there is no way Disney is even close to the same price as Royal Caribbean. I spent nearly $1K less than Disney on my most recent Royal Caribbean cruise which had unlimited alcohol, soda, ETC in a suite. I Had a very similar suite on Disney, only drank water and coffee, and still spent almost $1k more. I do think, however, that Disney is certainly better for a family like yours. All in all though, I do love both Disney and Royal Caribbean for different reasons.
Regarding the luggage….Adam Hattan had bought that luggage too and his bag got wrecked too. I think it was in his video of his Disney cruise that started in Rome and went to Greece. His luggage got so wrecked Disney gave him a “leftover” bag so he had something secure to get back to England.
You guys would love Beaches Turks and Caicos!!! It’s such an amazing resort for families. Would you ever try? I hear ya about Disney! I love Disney cruise line! Truly amazing
When my son was 5, he was obsessed with Hook Hand from Tangled. By happy coincidence, a hook hand was one of the prizes at our library for reading (or being read) a certain # of books. He was thrilled to get it!!
Just wanted to give a tip in regard to the Second dining versus Main dining. You can also call Disney Cruise Line before you sail and request to be added to the Main dining waitlist. If Disney is able to move you to main dining before you sail you will receive an undated confirmation showing the main dining listed. Once again, the request is not a guarantee. If Disney is not able to move you to main dining you would head to the lounge where the dining cast members are once you board the ship. Each ship is different for which lounge you would head to so make sure to check with a cast member once you board.
I agree with Tim…The Fantasy will always be our favorite! Trying to push myself to try the Wish again, but it is so hard!!!!! I hope the Treasure has SOME adjustments !!
I really appreciate all of the work you put into your videos. I really learned a lot about Disney Cruises by watching your video. So thank you so much! You both are very informative and I appreciate that so much! ❤
Hey there, so I think you shouldn't be afraid of going on other ships. I have 2 young children as well. And we have been on Royal Caribbean ships. Many, many times it's very similar, almost identical to a Disney ship. We're going on msc cruise this year. In the yacht club and everything is taken care of Drinks are included all your alcohols included if you drink. The price for foreguese was about $800 less and we have a huge suite.I think you shouldn't be afraid of trying a different cruise line even with a baby. I Love Disney ships too, but sometimes it's nice to try something different.
We have been on both. I love both cruise lines. Disney is more small child friendly, and they do announce you as you come in. That’s always fun. On our last Disney Cruise, my granddaughter met a friend. They are still friends today. The fun part is we live in Notre Dame town and they live a m Chicago. So all that is to say we live both😅
We went on our first cruise and it was on the Wish. Can't even tell you how amazing it was and we are now booking for next cruise in March the Treasure. I had to share a funny story about something we bought to send home from Disney World after the cruise. It was a weighted blanket that we were worried it would make our bag to heavy to fly home. We received it which is like Disney coming to our home and when it arrived it weighed more then we remembered it being. The box was huge and way oversized for what it should have been. My daughter opened it and discovered that it had a 25LB bottle of R12 which is a refrigerant for cars. That was in the top of the box and the blanket was neatly wrapped and bagged in Disney packaging in the bottom. Not sure how it got there but the label was from Disney. I saw your frame story and decided to share.
Thanks for the great cruise vlogs. I'm glad it was fun. So many kid advancements with both kids. I love Jaskson's quest for knowledge and need to ask how, why, when, etc. Meanwhile Oliver just looks like he already knows everything! So adorable! PS. I started pointing with my middle finger. I love it!! 😂😂 Thanks! ❤❤❤❤
I'm guessing the traffic you were in was on Monday 29 Jan. We had gotten off Wonder on Sunday and spent a few more days in Canaveral. My husband went to Orlando with a friend on that Monday for a meeting and they had to reroute off 528 for the truck fire at Innovation that closed the road. We left Canaveral on Wed to catch the Auto Train in Sanford and you could see where the fire had been.
I enjoyed Wish. I talked to my son about how Magnifico started out with really good intentions, but sometimes when people get a lot of power, they become obsessed with power and that takes over everything. And that his FEAR of something bad happening again took over his kind of thinking clearly, which led to the dark magic. But we really enjoyed it, my son LOVED the chicken scene…. And we sing the songs regularly. Hahaha but I agree it could use more character development.
Love your cruise videos. My hubby and I have been debating on taking a Disney cruise. We don't have kids, but we are huge Disney lovers. Their ships just look so much cleaner inside and out. I think I will start the process of getting our passports first and then check in taking a cruise next year out of your Port. Your boys were so cute on this cruise. I got a big tickle when Jenn was feeding Oliver on the balcony of your room then Jackson sneezed loudly, and Oliver immediately popped his head up and looked back at Jackson! Too cute!
The hardest thing that will likely happen if you did another line is comparing it to Disney. We've done almost 40 on 7 lines. We still do this. Overall it's so worth trying other lines out. I'd say 75% to 80% of the cruise process will be the same on all lines. As a suggestion I'd pick Royal Caribbean, more importantly try out one of the Oasis class ships. Yes they are massive, BUT they are not as overwhelming as you'd think as far as the deck plans go. Really simple honestly. We've been on Oasis, Allure and Harmony. Actually going back on Allure next month, then new Utopia in Oct. We like the class because it's just a very easy setup. I'd say out of most of the other cruise lines they would be right behind disney for a family friendly cruise. Tons for the entire family. Icon looks cool, but even for us seems very overwhelming in general. But any of the Oasis class I'd say would be a great transition from Disney. But you guys have to try out other lines. We started with Carnival and did about 7 before we switched off. Also when getting off the ship you should always have your ship card and Id. Passport not a must and usually recommended to stay in your cabin. Side note. We have several cruise tours on our channel on some of the Oasis ships if you guys want to check out.
I was scared to get a cruise ship too, but we booked one and went and I was never scared once on the ship.i have never gotten sick on a Disney Cruise ship and I have been on The Wonder once, The Dream twice, and The Fantasy once. We are in the process of figuring out when we wanna go on The Wish. I have only said with Disney I wanna branch out and do Royal Caribbean Icon Of The Sea’s it’s their newest ship it just launched like a week or 2 ago but it literally has a water park on top. But yeah your safe with Disney I have only ever heard of one bad thing ,a crew member disappeared on March 22, 2011 the cruise was off the Pacific coast of Mexico.
Awesome vlog guys! Similar to the man in Rivers of America. We have an indoor lake with a pirate ship in our mall in Alberta, Canada. People intentionally jump into it all the time. 😄
Hi guys. ❤😊This cruise was fun and exciting. I'm glad you had a blast. You all should go on the Alaska Disney cruise when the boys get older. This cruise is on my bucket list 😊.
Brightline comes all the way down to miami! and yes it stops at FTL. but you could go all the way down to miami! i live in miami and i am excited to try it when i go to universal.
We were thinking of you being stuck in traffic. We were on our way to our first cruise on Mariner of the Seas when we passed all the traffic. Hope to meet you guys some day in the parks. Keep up the good vlogs.
Royal Caribbean used to work with Dreamworks, but I’m not sure if they are doing it now. Also, when you do try a new cruise line see if they will match your Disney cruise points for their rewards program.
I used to be a cruise travel agent. I know that at least pre-pandemic, Royal Caribbean had a partnership with DreamWorks, so they would have those characters on the ships. Carnival has Dr. Seuss. I do know Royal constantly has promotions where kids sail free, and you only have to pay for their port charges and taxes. I wouldn't recommend trying a line like Celebrity or Princess until the kids are quite a bit older, because those ships are flat-out not geared towards families. But it might be fun to try another line just to get to experience the other private islands- Perfect Day at CocoCay for Royal, Great Stirrup Cay and Harvest Caye for Norwegian (and Harvest Caye has an absolutely humongous pool), Ocean Cay for MSC, etc.
Oliver is getting so big he was eating his little bread that was so cute and i loved how tim asked him who was talking and he tried to tell him by pointing
Sort of like my son and his Mickey "feet". He got them when he was probably 12 and had to have another pair as an adult(he wore the first ones til the soles fell off)
Tim, I was in the same traffic that day. I live in Brevard and had an appointment in Orlando. I left my house at 9, got to Orlando at 11 (instead of 10) by taking the detour via Titusville you mentioned. That was crazzzy.
On our castaway day this summer on the Wish our daughter wanted to go back to the ship after lunch and we had an amazing time. The ship was empty for hours and we just enjoyed the pools and aqua mouse with no line.
I don’t know if you know, but cabanas and marceline market are open on all Disney cruise ships on our last day. It’s not advertised in the app, but they are open for breakfast.
Loved your videos for the Wish! I also am in agreement with the Wish (movie) animation. It just felt unfinished and looked as if they were just trying to cut corners to save money. It could have been amazing like Encanto, but it bugged me enough I didn’t enjoy it as much as other movies.
Royal Caribbean, at least oasis of the seas had a couple of prominades of characters - random vikings, pirates, etc. so they weren't meet in greet, but still something fun
I’ve never done a Disney cruise. I normally do Norwegian because you get deals. I usually pick the 2 nights of specialty dining (so you can try the places that cost money but it costs you nothing) and I do the drink package. I know you both aren’t big drinkers, but part of that drink package includes sodas too. My friend though LOVES Disney cruises and it’s her go to every time as well. 😁
For Jackson to understand the evil king, try this: There’s a saying (Lord Acton) that absolute power corrupts absolutely. So when someone gets power or too much power they tend to become corrupted or bad. English teachers use this to explain, when teaching Macbeth, why the character Macbeth changes. He is a pretty nice guy until he becomes king.
I can empathize with Jackson.. when I was a kid, we did the Disney cruise (circa 1999) and I have a very distinct memory of tasting saltwater for the very first time at Castaway Cay and running out of the ocean to go steal a sip of my dad’s Dr Pepper to get the taste out of my mouth. As a kid, I hated that feeling, but as an adult, it’s kind of a funny memory. Hopefully Jackson will get another chance to try swimming in the cay again!
Tim going to meet up with Adam at the race track at Orlando Speed World! They have a rocket car!! You have GOT to bring Jackson there one day! He will love it!! Been there dozens of times! And a tanker on 528 had caught on fire after hitting another semi. You had to have passed it going westbound
Oh no don’t say we missed out on a Tim and Adam mashup 😮 I’d love to see Tim’s reaction to the “Stache” 😂. I do hope someday Adam goes on a cruise with you guys, would be hilarious.
California real estate pricing mix with Disney. Those homes could end up $5-$8M with 110 degree weather in dry heat. I went to Palm Springs in September and it was so hot the entire town was deserted because it was too hot. That area is high desert with temperatures reaching triple digits in summer and a good portion of fall.
Yo Tim tracker today I was at sea world it was about to close and we were riding pipeline Im the kid that said hey are you Tim tracker? Im a big fan I met you at pipeline Friday just seeing if you remember me...
You missed out on a 214MPH hearse. What’s cool about sick week is it’s a drag and drive event. There will be 240mph full racecars at the event that need to be “street legal” to go and run and the next track a few hours away. The more modern cars will load an EFI tune in their computer for racing, then “detune” the cars to drive on the street. They will run again next year make it a point to check it out.
I’d be so disappointed in the luggage not lasting very long , especially the price you paid , I remember you buying the luggage ! Love the fact you got his friends hook hands ! Great vlog x
I was once told by an Employee at the Marvel store at Disney Springs that the cheapest thing on Disney Property is the plastic covers for Comic books. I bought one for 50¢! 😆
Once again,,thanka for all the info😊 Glad it was a great cruise trip😊 I hope to do a Disney cruise in future. Y'all make them seem so amazing. I always wanted to go on cruise, but now I don't if I ever will, but I'd like to in future. I have to have my Service Dog with me, so that will be a challenge, for her bathroom breaks, but i seen vlogs of Service Dogs on cruises before and the dog seemed to do fine. ANYWAY, This was a great Disney cruise time. Felt bad for y'all and all the people that got stuck in traffic. Horrible it gets sometimes, i seen and heard, and been in on vacation trips. At home in the country, it doesn't get that bad. Anyway, glad y'all traveled safely. Praying 🙏 that all people stay safe when driving. Everyone Ve Safe and Take Care 😊❤❤❤❤
Just quick FYI if the next time u go on the cruiser because your annual pass holder the fix it for free on the cruise ask the customer service they fixed mine
Hi Trackers! Thanks for the Wish review! 😊 We have a little one, 9 months. We are thinking of taking a Disney Cruise as a whole family. It will be everyone’s first cruise. What age would you recommend the little one is before cruising?
I’m obviously not Tim or Jen, but considering the fact that they took Oliver right when he turned the minimum age for a Disney cruise (six months), I think it would be enjoyable at any age. However, I’d say that it would probably be better when they’re at least around Jackson’s age as you’d be able to take advantage of the amenities like the kids club and specific play areas and water slides that you need to be a certain height or age for.
Love watching your videos! Every now and then, I see Jen wear gold glasses and absolutely love them! If you see this comment, Jen, can you let me know what brand they are? Thanks! :)
Can you please provide some more info on the kids club. Like was there a cast member at the bottom of the slide waiting for Jackson? or did he just have to make it on his own in there lol.. Planning a cruise soon with my 5yo and I think im going to need one of those wrist bands myself so they know im nervous about my kid being in there alone lol.
It’s a shame that you guys are apprehensive about going on Royal Caribbean or any other ships for that matter. I think Jackson would really love the aqua park and a lot of the activities that Royal has to offer. The Adventure Ocean’s Youth Club would be perfect for the kids. Pleaseeee try it! I’m a huge fan of your channel regardless tho.
They announced the second Disney story living will be in North Carolina. It is going to be called Asteria. Blurb from website says “Located just outside the Raleigh, North Carolina area, this Storyliving by Disney community is expected to begin taking shape by 2027.”
i swear cruise ship elevators are the worst! we’ve been on disney cruise line, ncl, royal caribbean and virgin voyages and i’d say the only elevators that were slightly okay was virgin!! otherwise you wait for an elevator forever
Seeing that traffic is the sole reason I never book an early flight on a cruise. Noon is the earliest I would ever take a flight. Yes you can do earlier ones but its a gamble.

That average is in realtion to the older smaller ships for royal Caribbean. The newer larger ships oasis, quantum classes cost more
@@mare8371 They are only compensated when they let us know they are at the beginning of the vlog that Disney has done so or a travel company has done so.

Agreed… Wouldn’t have happened, regardless of how many times I would have been there. Pack up the kids and off to the island we go!
I agree….I don’t care if that’s not what Jackson wanted to do or not, you paid alot for that cruise we getting off this boat and going to the island…sorry kid 🤷🏻♀️
But they did pretty much have the ship to themselves which is nice.

Disney cruises are more expensive. I've pricesd and priced and priced every arrangement. Always more expensive.

We were thinking of you being stuck in traffic. We were on our way to our first cruise on Mariner of the Seas when we passed all the traffic. Hope to meet you guys some day in the parks. Keep up the good vlogs.
Royal Caribbean used to work with Dreamworks, but I’m not sure if they are doing it now. Also, when you do try a new cruise line see if they will match your Disney cruise points for their rewards program.
I used to be a cruise travel agent. I know that at least pre-pandemic, Royal Caribbean had a partnership with DreamWorks, so they would have those characters on the ships. Carnival has Dr. Seuss.
I do know Royal constantly has promotions where kids sail free, and you only have to pay for their port charges and taxes. I wouldn't recommend trying a line like Celebrity or Princess until the kids are quite a bit older, because those ships are flat-out not geared towards families. But it might be fun to try another line just to get to experience the other private islands- Perfect Day at CocoCay for Royal, Great Stirrup Cay and Harvest Caye for Norwegian (and Harvest Caye has an absolutely humongous pool), Ocean Cay for MSC, etc.
Oliver is getting so big he was eating his little bread that was so cute and i loved how tim asked him who was talking and he tried to tell him by pointing
My son still has his “Hook” from WDW at 3 and he still has it.He will be 20 in March.😊
My grandkids play with the hook their daddy had 30 years ago!😮
Sort of like my son and his Mickey "feet". He got them when he was probably 12 and had to have another pair as an adult(he wore the first ones til the soles fell off)
Thank you guys as always for sharing the magic even with your hands so full! Taking all the tips for cruising with a 4 year old!!
I was wondering do they still offer a scrapbook class on the cruise they did in 2014 I think .And im looking for a cruise coloring book
Yes my son has one bought right off the ride at Pirates
Tim, I was in the same traffic that day. I live in Brevard and had an appointment in Orlando. I left my house at 9, got to Orlando at 11 (instead of 10) by taking the detour via Titusville you mentioned. That was crazzzy.
Love carnival! Going on 6th cruise next year on them! Very kid friendly!
On our castaway day this summer on the Wish our daughter wanted to go back to the ship after lunch and we had an amazing time. The ship was empty for hours and we just enjoyed the pools and aqua mouse with no line.
Sounds like multiple reasons to book another cruise to me! (Regarding the cheapest souvenir and the frame) 😊
You guys should try a Disney cruise from the uk. I’m really curious if it’s the same experience
I don’t know if you know, but cabanas and marceline market are open on all Disney cruise ships on our last day. It’s not advertised in the app, but they are open for breakfast.
Do you think you will try to book a cruise that goes to Lighthouse Point? I am so curious about Disney's new island.
Hope you have sweaters and dont catch cold with the temp change!
We love watching your cruise videos. We’re going in the Dream in March. Can’t wait!! 🛳️
I want to go on a cruise so bad!! I hope I can get to go. I’m bummed about the limited elevator
Loved your videos for the Wish! I also am in agreement with the Wish (movie) animation. It just felt unfinished and looked as if they were just trying to cut corners to save money. It could have been amazing like Encanto, but it bugged me enough I didn’t enjoy it as much as other movies.
We were on deck 13 the same weekend as you! Omg walking up the stairs was tiring!
Royal Caribbean, at least oasis of the seas had a couple of prominades of characters - random vikings, pirates, etc. so they weren't meet in greet, but still something fun
You should put a picture of you holding the other frame in this frame. 🙃
I’ve never done a Disney cruise. I normally do Norwegian because you get deals. I usually pick the 2 nights of specialty dining (so you can try the places that cost money but it costs you nothing) and I do the drink package. I know you both aren’t big drinkers, but part of that drink package includes sodas too. My friend though LOVES Disney cruises and it’s her go to every time as well. 😁
For Jackson to understand the evil king, try this: There’s a saying (Lord Acton) that absolute power corrupts absolutely. So when someone gets power or too much power they tend to become corrupted or bad. English teachers use this to explain, when teaching Macbeth, why the character Macbeth changes. He is a pretty nice guy until he becomes king.
Awesome cruise, I bet Jackson is the most well travelled little guy in the class ❤
I’m glad you guys had such a fab time on the cruise, sorry your journey home wasn’t great xxx
I can empathize with Jackson.. when I was a kid, we did the Disney cruise (circa 1999) and I have a very distinct memory of tasting saltwater for the very first time at Castaway Cay and running out of the ocean to go steal a sip of my dad’s Dr Pepper to get the taste out of my mouth. As a kid, I hated that feeling, but as an adult, it’s kind of a funny memory. Hopefully Jackson will get another chance to try swimming in the cay again!
Tim going to meet up with Adam at the race track at Orlando Speed World! They have a rocket car!! You have GOT to bring Jackson there one day! He will love it!! Been there dozens of times! And a tanker on 528 had caught on fire after hitting another semi. You had to have passed it going westbound
Oh no don’t say we missed out on a Tim and Adam mashup 😮 I’d love to see Tim’s reaction to the “Stache” 😂. I do hope someday Adam goes on a cruise with you guys, would be hilarious.
California real estate pricing mix with Disney. Those homes could end up $5-$8M with 110 degree weather in dry heat. I went to Palm Springs in September and it was so hot the entire town was deserted because it was too hot. That area is high desert with temperatures reaching triple digits in summer and a good portion of fall.
Yo Tim tracker today I was at sea world it was about to close and we were riding pipeline Im the kid that said hey are you Tim tracker? Im a big fan I met you at pipeline Friday just seeing if you remember me...
Hope you guys enjoyed yourself’s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Carnival has some Dr Seuss characters on sea days, and towel animals you can meet sometimes too.
You missed out on a 214MPH hearse. What’s cool about sick week is it’s a drag and drive event. There will be 240mph full racecars at the event that need to be “street legal” to go and run and the next track a few hours away. The more modern cars will load an EFI tune in their computer for racing, then “detune” the cars to drive on the street. They will run again next year make it a point to check it out.
I’d be so disappointed in the luggage not lasting very long , especially the price you paid , I remember you buying the luggage ! Love the fact you got his friends hook hands ! Great vlog x
I was once told by an Employee at the Marvel store at Disney Springs that the cheapest thing on Disney Property is the plastic covers for Comic books. I bought one for 50¢! 😆
Once again,,thanka for all the info😊 Glad it was a great cruise trip😊 I hope to do a Disney cruise in future. Y'all make them seem so amazing. I always wanted to go on cruise, but now I don't if I ever will, but I'd like to in future. I have to have my Service Dog with me, so that will be a challenge, for her bathroom breaks, but i seen vlogs of Service Dogs on cruises before and the dog seemed to do fine. ANYWAY, This was a great Disney cruise time. Felt bad for y'all and all the people that got stuck in traffic. Horrible it gets sometimes, i seen and heard, and been in on vacation trips. At home in the country, it doesn't get that bad. Anyway, glad y'all traveled safely. Praying 🙏 that all people stay safe when driving. Everyone Ve Safe and Take Care 😊❤❤❤❤
Disney Story Living is the updated version of Golden Oak!
We where going on a cruise the day y’all left 528 had a big truck that looked like it blew up
Do you have to make reservations to eat at Arendake for breakfast?
I wonder what a lyft would cost from the port to any of the WDW resorts. It's like an hour drive. So what do folks who don't live in Florida do?
Just quick FYI if the next time u go on the cruiser because your annual pass holder the fix it for free on the cruise ask the customer service they fixed mine
Try BEIS luggage!!!
Glad you guys had a fun cruise
Hi Trackers! Thanks for the Wish review! 😊
We have a little one, 9 months. We are thinking of taking a Disney Cruise as a whole family. It will be everyone’s first cruise. What age would you recommend the little one is before cruising?
I’m obviously not Tim or Jen, but considering the fact that they took Oliver right when he turned the minimum age for a Disney cruise (six months), I think it would be enjoyable at any age. However, I’d say that it would probably be better when they’re at least around Jackson’s age as you’d be able to take advantage of the amenities like the kids club and specific play areas and water slides that you need to be a certain height or age for.
Love watching your videos! Every now and then, I see Jen wear gold glasses and absolutely love them! If you see this comment, Jen, can you let me know what brand they are? Thanks! :)
Can you please provide some more info on the kids club. Like was there a cast member at the bottom of the slide waiting for Jackson? or did he just have to make it on his own in there lol.. Planning a cruise soon with my 5yo and I think im going to need one of those wrist bands myself so they know im nervous about my kid being in there alone lol.
I Enjoyed your cruise, thanks
I have decided after viewing your videos. I am not a cruise person...would not go on one...but glad you enjoy them
I swear I love you guys…. I call Tim and Jen my RUclips bestie
I think i would have hated staying on the ship for your castaway key Day but i think it made for a more interesting video.
The are building a Disney story living community in the town that I live in!!!! Pittsboro North Carolina! It’s going to be called Asteria.
Love watching you guys on cruises it always looks so fun and relaxing, and oliver is so cute!!! can’t help smiling every time i see his little face. ❤
No school for Jackson today! Traffic it happens!
It’s a shame that you guys are apprehensive about going on Royal Caribbean or any other ships for that matter. I think Jackson would really love the aqua park and a lot of the activities that Royal has to offer. The Adventure Ocean’s Youth Club would be perfect for the kids. Pleaseeee try it! I’m a huge fan of your channel regardless tho.
This vlog made me want to go in one and make sure I can handle it. 😊
I know you guys love crusing and love Disney crusing but I think we would love for you to go on a different cruise, a different cruise line. 🚢
They announced the second Disney story living will be in North Carolina. It is going to be called Asteria. Blurb from website says “Located just outside the Raleigh, North Carolina area, this Storyliving by Disney community is expected to begin taking shape by 2027.”
Tim I love you man!!!
i swear cruise ship elevators are the worst! we’ve been on disney cruise line, ncl, royal caribbean and virgin voyages and i’d say the only elevators that were slightly okay was virgin!! otherwise you wait for an elevator forever
