Like a WDW, Disneyland etc trip you can’t do it all. The cruise ships has so much going on at once that you really have to prioritize your family’s must do’s and have a basic itinerary in place. We were lucky enough to be able to do every single character meet and greet and all the theater shows that we really wanted (plus 2 shore excursions and ride the Aquaduck), but there was a ton of other things that we had to pass on because it either conflicted with another activity, was during our meal time, or we just wanted to relax/sleep instead. Also, they do have lots of Disney movies available in your stateroom TV, but they do not offer movies that are only a few years old (my daughter could only watch the first “ZOMBIES”movie but not 2 or 3 and my husband could not watch “Encanto” for example). They were playing “Turning Red” in the theater, but it was not available in the room to watch. Unlike a theme park vacation, you can’t see the times of what activities is going to be available during your cruise until you are getting ready to embark. So you need to check what times the main dining is offered for breakfast and lunch, what times the buffet is running, what times the food counters on the pool deck is running, what times the pool and water slides are open, what the menu for room service is, as well as any other activities available once at the cruise terminal and on board. Just note that only the room service is available 24/7 for food and the pool times definitely vary. Finally, you were very lucky on your boarding time! On the 30 day before point, I first booked the Royal Gathering, SpiderMan/Iron Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy meet and greet reservations the minute it was available. Those took about 15 minutes to finally secure all 3. I then completed the online check in process, which took another 20 minutes to complete and the soonest boarding time I could get was 1pm. It happened to rain soon after we boarded, so we didn’t want to go to the pool (as originally planned), but still had enough time to eat, unpack, check out the kid clubs, do the muster drill, the sail away party (inside the atrium), see the first theater show, and go to dinner. So it all worked out.

I agree, 3 & 4 night cruises are the best length.
