4 Things I Regret Impulse-Buying for My Disney Cruise Line Trip

Are you getting ready to set sail?

Disney Treasure

With the newest Disney Cruise Line ship, Disney Treasure, getting ready to start sailing, we have cruises on the brain. Our team began talking about everything we had impulse-bought before our Disney Cruises, and we had to share them with you so you can avoid that mistake! We are also sharing what items we bought ahead of time and are SO GLAD we did!

So we asked our team what they regret buying for their Disney Cruises and here are some of their answers:

New Clothes

While buying new clothes for a cruise can be SO tempting, our team confesses they overbuy and then don’t end up wearing a lot of them. We found this to be true with “evening wear” — really, we could all just wear an outfit we already own. And that means you could save that money to buy merchandise on the cruise instead!

Over the Door Hooks

Did you know you cannot bring over the door hooks on a Disney Cruise? While you might want to buy one to save space in your cabin, they are not allowed.

Instead, opt for magnetic hooks that you can use to hang items. The walls of your cabin are made of metal so these hooks can stick all around your cabin creating more vertical space.

Power Strips

Power strips are also not allowed to be brought on Disney Cruises, so don’t waste your money on them! If you are worried about charging your phone, pack a portable charger instead!

Books

I know you’re thinking, why wouldn’t I want to bring books on a cruise? It seems like the perfect time to read and relax! But, do you really want to carry around books in your bag or have them take up space in your luggage? Instead, we suggest bringing a Kindle!
