The offerings from Disney Cruise Line keep getting better and better. There are several packages now available, including the option to extend the vacation to include a stay at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim (Los Angeles), California; the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; and Barcelona, Spain. The Cruise Line's packages are so packed with goodness that an orientation Digital Video Disc is now freely available on Disney Cruise Line's web site. Every aspect of these expansive and extensive vacation packages can be tailored to a group's needs, which is handy because everyone wants something slightly different.
Disney's original flagships, the Italian-built Magic and Wonder are still among the most modern cruise ships on the planet. However, in 2011, Disney Cruise Lines launched the Dream-their newest super sized cruiser. The German-built Dream, who had her maiden voyage on January 26, is 40% larger than Magic and Wonder; she carries four thousand passengers and almost fifteen hundred crew members.
How about those specials?
However, even with the instructional DVD and e-book available on Disney Cruise Line's website, the task of planning such a vacation may be daunting to first-timers. It's recommended to secure the help of a seasoned travel planner who will be aware both of the details of what a party wants out of their vacation and the intricacies of how to set up the features with Disney's vacation planners. If the group is a bit more experienced in navigating the negotiation of these tremendous Disney vacation-cruises, then working in tandem with a travel agent and Disney's web site is recommended. The good news is that these travel planners won't cost you a cent - they are paid directly by Disney.
Get The Planning Started
Your planning shouldn't wait-everything should be nailed down several months in advance to assure that all the desired reservations along the way get made.
It's best to begin by choosing where and when it will all take place. The number one piece of advice for those wishing to bookend their cruise with a resort stay is to choose one that is not far from the point of embarkation for the cruise. This saves money and time in transit. Another method that some vacationers employ is to travel during the off season for the particular area. Pluses include a definite drop in Disney dollars spent; minuses include inclement weather. No one orders a Castaway Cay with a side of hurricane! Savvy shoppers will work hard to find the middle ground between price point, weather, location, and time of year.
