Occasional Lines Everywhere On A Shorter Cruise
Expectation: On a Disney cruise ship, you will see characters everywhere and may be able to take pictures with them as well as see them lounging around casually. However, this is not totally true unless you are on a longer cruise, have a V.I.P package, or are just really lucky.
Reality: If you are on a shorter cruise, Expect to wait in line if you want to meet a Disney character on a Disney cruise. And it has the potential to drive you insane. If you are on a longer cruise, the characters will be allowed to walk around and come to your table to have a good time with you.
