Tips from me:
-------------
- Take cash to pay for tips and for use in Bahamas if required
- Check-In luggage has to placed outside staterooms the night before debarkation day. So, pack your luggage in such a way that you keep last night and debarkation day's clothes in a different bag.
- Formal dining restaurants such as Palo in Disney cost a lot and it's really not that great and can be skipped, to avoid spending a lot for gratuity and for buying very formal dress/jackets etc.
- There are 3 other dining restaurants and many other informal fast-food corners. You will be assigned to one restaurant every day for dinner, so you get to taste the different food and ambience.
- There will be pirates of Caribbean party at night on second day after dinner and there will be so many desserts and food again on the deck. So, keep some room for these when having dinner on 2'nd day or have early dinner if possible. It will be very chilly at that time on the deck. so don't forget jackets and pirate costumes if you like.
- There will be common laundry and ironing room, if you want to wash your clothes.
- There are nurseries for kids till age 3 and kids club for older kids and parents can leave the kids there and have fun in adult pool or adult pubs. They give us a pager and will page us if the kids need us.
- Take 2 pairs of swimming clothes if you are going on a 3-day cruise
- Bahamas beaches are so beautiful and very windy. You get tanned very much. so don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen lotion.
- You can rent tubes there if you don't know swimming.
- Disney provides lunch in castaway cay island but in Nassau, we hv to pay and eat outside and it is pretty expensive in Atlantis hotel
- If the sea is rough, the ship moves sideways, and you may feel dizzy and nauseous. so don't forget to take over the counter motion sickness medicine
- Approximate expense for 2 adults + 1 kids would be around 2000$ for a 3-day cruise (as of the date this post was published on).
We also went to Disney magic kingdom and here are my tips -
- First go for a round of the entire park and take fast passes wherever fast pass is open and you can come back to that ride at that time to avoid standing in long lines.
- You can use the Disney railroad service which stops at almost all locations in magic kingdom when you want to come back to some place faster without having to walk again
- The castle has beautiful lighting at night and fireworks. take tripod if you want to capture those spectacular fireworks in your camera
Take the schedule & map as soon as you enter the park and follow the schedule.
- Don't miss the parade where all Disney characters dance thru the roads with beautiful costumes
- If you want just chicken and fries' kind of lunch, go to cosmos restaurant in Tomorrowland
- Don't miss Philarmagic 3d show. It's so cool and kids & adults will hv fun.
