First time Disney Cruise advice please

[Derryfam]

Hi all.

So when it comes to organising and planning our WDW holiday I’m pretty savvy but it’s our first time cruising (me hubby and kids) with seasoned cruisers (mum & dad) but never a Disney Cruise so hopefully you can answer some questions

1. Luggage. We are spending 2 weeks in Florida prior to the cruise meaning lots of luggage that’s not needed! Is there anywhere you can store this so not to take on board.

2. Tips. Are we able to pay these prior to the holiday so there done and one less thing to think about?

3. Palo. Me, hubby, mum & dad are going for an evening at Palo. Can this be paid for in advance. Also are chino style shorts and polo shirt acceptable and do me and mum need to dress up?

4. Any other tips and tricks to make this a magical experience. We are doing the Halloween on the high seas

Thank you xx
