One of the most exciting things on the first day of a Disney cruise is the Sailing Away Deck party. We recently sailed on the Disney Dream and we were exited to attend the party on deck. The Sailing Away party is held after the mandatory life boat drill. After the drill we started to make our way to deck 11 for the party when it started to rain. We were so disappointed until the crew members told us not to worry the party would be held in the main lobby on deck 3. We made our way to deck [...]

One of the unique experiences on a Disney cruise is its character meet and greets. Characters are located throughout the day at different locations. Scheduled times are listed in your personal navigator each day and there are also surprise visits during the day. You may be lucky enough to run into a character while walking down the hall. During the scheduled times adults and children are able to take pictures and get autographs from their favorite characters. All the ships in Disney’s fleet offer character meet and greets. Some of your favorites you will see are: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, [...]

They wanted to create a place where families could come together to play, but also have wonderful options for adults to relax and enjoy some alone time. One thing that Disney does differently from other cruise lines is the staggered port arrival times. When you complete your online check-in, you will select your port arrival time window.
