Two ladies, seven kids, and a 15-day road trip up the California Coast. Day 10 - [...]

travelmagicstg2014-06-19T07:00:00-04:00June 19, 2014|Disney Cruise Line|

From the moment you arrive at the port, you’ll notice something about Disney Cruise Lines – it’s all about family. With the creation of Disney Cruise Lines, the company wanted to keep true to Walt Disney’s original vision for the parks. 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.

I recently went on the Disney Dream with my daughter, my two friends, and their daughters. The planning started months ago during a trip to see Frozen.

Like most people planning a Disney vacation, I did a lot of online research. As I did, I came across an interesting topic and soon found myself TOTALLY obsessed with partaking in this unique, Disney Cruise Line exclusive tradition—Stateroom door magnets! Sounds like much ado about nothing, doesn’t it? Trust me, the art of decorating one’s stateroom door aboard a Disney cruise ship is a big deal to those in the know.
