In recent years, the cruise industry has experienced a massive surge in demand, and Disney Cruise Line is no exception. With the expansion of their fleet, including the highly anticipated Disney Treasure, more and more guests are setting sail for magical adventures. However, for first-time cruisers or those returning after a long hiatus, understanding Disney Cruise Line’s policies is essential to ensure smooth sailing.

Upon boarding the Disney Dream for our 4 night cruise, our family name was announced and a line of staff members welcomed us onboard.

During our trip to Hawaii, we were lucky to have accommodation in a one-bedroom suite at Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa. The suite had a full kitchen, enabling us to cook some meals using groceries purchased from nearby stores. Even though the groceries were somewhat expensive, it did assist us in cutting costs compared to eating out for every meal.

We've visited Walt Disney World in October to experience the parks adorned with fall decor and enjoy Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Although we haven't done this many times, it remains one of my favorite times to visit. The weather is perfect—not too hot and with little rain. Trick-or-treating at Magic Kingdom was spectacular; we left with loads of candy. But there's so much more to do than just trick-or-treating. If you want to dress up, this is your chance, and you won't be alone! Some costumes we've seen are absolutely
