Come along with me for our Disney Wish embarkation day—everything from arrival to bedtime, with all the real-life family logistics in between. In this vlog I’m showing you what embarkation day actually looks like when you’re traveling with kids: getting to the port, checking in, stepping onboard, and jumping into all the fun you can pack into that first afternoon. If you’ve never cruised with Disney (or you’re trying to make it feel less overwhelming), this is the kind of “walk-through” I wish I had the first time. I also share the kind of practical stuff that makes a huge difference on day one—what we wore, what bags I keep with me, and the gear that helps us stay comfortable while we wait for rooms and luggage. Embarkation day sets the tone for the whole cruise, so I’m all about keeping it simple, keeping everyone fed/rested, and still soaking up that first-day Disney magic on the ship.
