Previous trip report guest Katie, of 2plus3travellers on both Instagram and YouTube, is back! This experienced travel agent is planning to set sail with her family on their very first Disney Cruise, a 5-day Disney Cruise with visits to both Disney islands and including a Marvel Day at Sea. Planning a trip to Disney World is completely different than planning a cruise, so Katie takes us through everything there was to consider. Before they get on board the ship, they are also planning to stop in Orlando for a night and will be spending a day enjoying the Festival of the Arts.

Renée’s trip was a success and she’s back to share all the ins and outs of the journey. This trip had it all: a road trip, a split-stay between Port Orleans Riverside and Yacht Club, park-hopping, shopping, dining, and all of that with a 7 month old and one of the family pups along for the ride.
