As someone who has been to Walt Disney World countless times throughout my life, it has been hard, if not impossible, to deviate from that tradition. It wasn’t until this year that I finally visited Disneyland for the first time. This was a year of firsts, as it also marked my first trip on a Disney Cruise: the Disney Fantasy. After the trip, I realized just how amazing a Disney Cruise is. In fact, I’ve already booked my next one! But what sets a Disney Cruise Line vacation apart from a vacation to one of the Disney Parks?
The Blending of Luxury and Fun
Let’s face it, a vacation to the Disney Parks is not a relaxing vacation. Sometimes, I wish I had the time to take a vacation to recover from my Disney vacation! The heat, the crowds, the thrilling attractions, the insane amount of walking, and all the stressful reservations for attractions and dining are a far cry from a relaxing trip lounging at the beach. On the other hand, a vacation at a luxury beach resort lacks the quintessential fun of a Disney vacation. The music, the theming, the characters, and the level of quality and service are truly what sets Disney apart from the competition.
Disney Cruise Line is truly the best of both worlds. Everything is a short distance from your stateroom, whether that be pictures with Mickey Mouse in the lobby or a seat at the serene adult-only pool at the top deck. Kids or, like myself, kids at heart, can get the magical Disney vacation experience while also enjoying the luxury of an inclusive vacation.
An Inclusive Vacation
When you book a trip to a Disney park, that steep price tag is not where the expenses end, it’s where they begin. Meals, snacks, and the Lightning Lane Multi Pass are just some of the extra spending you’ll do after paying for your hotel and park admission.
That is not a problem on a Disney Cruise, as almost everything is included in your trip cost! Aside from specialty dining locations such as Palo and Remy (options vary by ship), specialty drinks, and certain snacks, nearly all dining is included (and unlimited!) during your trip. So, go ahead, make multiple pizza runs by the pool, try everything at the buffet, and make as many self-serve ice cream cones as you want!
At night, rotational dining takes you to one of three themed restaurants for dinner, where everyone gets their own appetizer, entree, and dessert!
Travel the World
Sure, the World Showcase at EPCOT can take you around the world in small doses, but what if you could ACTUALLY travel the world? Disney Cruise Line makes stops at many locations, depending on your trip itinerary. Locations include Cozumel, Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Alaska, The Virgin Islands, Disney’s two private islands in the Bahamas, and many more!
Each stop comes with many “Port Adventures” options. These shore excursions allow you to determine how you want to spend your day at the ports. Excursions such as snorkeling, swimming with manta rays, meeting dolphins, culinary adventures, museum tours, and so much more are available to be taken!
If venturing out off the ship is not your style, there are plenty of things to do on the ship, both on port days and days at sea. Mixology classes, towel animal lessons, game shows, nightclubs, live music, and bingo are just a few of the countless things you can do. The ships also host Broadway-style stage shows and movie theaters playing both theatrical-run movies and classic Disney films.
While nothing beats a Walt Disney World vacation for me, Disney Cruise Line offers a relaxing vacation without sacrificing the whimsy and fun Disney offers in all its experiences. The cruise strikes a perfect balance of luxurious relaxation and thematic excitement.
