Unpopular Disney cruise opinion… I avoid the buffet on embarkation day at all costs. Yes, it’s included. Yes, everyone goes there first. And yes… it’s absolute chaos. After travel day with kids, the last thing I want is crowded lines, no seating, and overstimulated little humans. Instead, I choose: ✔️ Quick-service deck food (same great quality, way less stress) ✔️ Or a sit-down lunch in the dining room for a calmer start The first day sets the tone for the whole cruise. Starting slow > starting
