In this Disney Wish Embarkation Day vlog, Kieran and I awake in Walt Disney World’s Riviera Resort, a Disney Vacation Club resort. Here, I give you a room tour of a West facing Deluxe Studio (8713). From WDW, we take the Disney Cruise Line transfer to the dedicated Disney Cruise Line terminal at Port Canaveral in east Florida USA.

We give you a full stateroom tour, showcasing the split bathroom layout, the Tangled/Rapunzel theme, the storage space throughout and some of the extra things you get in a Concierge stateroom.

The show features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Rapunzel, Flynn, Prince Charming, Cinderella, Moana and Fairy Godmother herself!
