Trip Planning
I planned for this trip obsessively and I am an extremely detailed oriented person. These were the resources that made my trip a success:
- PassPorter’s Disney Cruise Line Guide Book
: The fastest and most organized way to learn about DCL. Read it cover to cover first.
- DIS DCL Board: Start by reading the DIS DCL FAQ and then read posts on a daily basis to learn new things, tips, and updates to things covered in Passporter’s. You’ll soon become a DCL expert!
- Cruise Critic: The Ports of Call section was extremely helpful in planning days at ports of call. Got great tips on what to do, how to get around, and where to eat. The Tortola forum was also helpful in learning more about Tortola since Disney hadn’t been there yet.
- Frommer’s Caribbean Ports of Call Guide Book: Extremely helpful in planning days at ports of call. Got great tips on what to do and where to eat. Also has great maps.
