The One Day in July You Should NOT Book a Disney Cruise

By Leave a Comment

Many of us are used to things working how they should 100% of the time; especially when it comes to the instant gratification of the internet, it can be hard to pivot when something goes down and doesn’t work how it should.

Disney Magic Cruise Ship

A lot of the time, these outages or problems are unplanned, making them even more jarring, but other times, companies try to get ahead of issues and let us know ahead of time that something is going to be down for maintenance. That’s just what happened with the Disney Cruise Line website — Disney gave us the heads-up that for 24 hours in July, the website will be down for maintenance, which means no cruise bookings.

As cruising continues to boom in 2026, travelers are becoming increasingly vocal about the onboard habits that can turn a dream vacation into a frustrating experience. Nearly 1,000 cruise fans recently weighed in on the behaviors they wish would disappear for good thanks to Cruise Hive, and a few complaints rose far above the rest. Interestingly, the biggest frustrations had very little to do with ship design, food, or entertainment. Instead, the most common complaints centered on guest behavior and basic cruise etiquette. If cruise lines and passengers could tackle these issues, many travelers believe the onboard experience would improve dramatically. Here are the three cruise habits that cruisers are begging people to leave behind in 2026.

Five Secrets Nobody Knows About Castaway Cay Until Their Third Disney Cruise

By Leave a Comment

Castaway Cay looks simple at first glance. You get off the ship, see the water, find a chair, and call it a day. And you know what? That version works. No notes.

Relax on a beach!

But spend a little more time here—maybe come back on another cruise—and you start noticing that the island quietly rewards curiosity. There are better spots to sit, smarter ways to move around, and little detours that can turn a good beach day into a great one. The guests who seem to have it all figured out are not necessarily doing more. They just know where to go, when to go there, and how to avoid turning their relaxing island day into a sweaty mission for shade, lunch, and one available inner tube.

Everything You Need to Know If You Go on a Cruise During Hurricane Season

By Leave a Comment

If you plan on sailing during hurricane season, we recommend being prepared for complications to arise during your Disney vacation.

Cruise port

We’ve seen hurricanes impact things in Disney World before, and they’ve even been so bad that the parks have needed to shut down for a day or two. While the Disney theme parks are super prepared for these kinds of events, they deal with a different kind of storm than what vacationers out at sea experience. Whether you’re sailing with the Disney Cruise Line — or any cruise line — during hurricane season, it’s important to understand how your cruise might be impacted.

REVIEW: Is This What We Can Expect When Harryhausen’s Comes to Disney World?

By Leave a Comment

Disney recently dropped a litany of details about the upcoming Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, including the confirmation that the land will contain a full-scale version of Harryhausen’s!

Our chopsticks

In the original 2001 Pixar film, Harryhausen’s — named after legendary Hollywood special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, whose creature designs inspired the Monsters, Inc. design team — is a sushi restaurant in Monstropolis. Its head chef is a six-armed octopus. Why six instead of eight? Because the character is a reference to the 1955 film It Came from Beneath the Sea, which features a similar six-armed creature created by — guess who? — Ray Harryhausen. Disney fans have long hoped that the company would recreate the restaurant at one of its theme parks.
