Disney Cruise Line Setting Sail for Magical Winter Holidays This Year

‘Tis the season… to come aboard! This winter, your family can unwrap some holiday magic with Disney Cruise Line.

Beginning in early November, the Disney cruise ships will transform into glittering wonderlands as they are “decked out” for another season of Very Merrytime Cruises, our special holiday sailings packed with festive events for the whole family!

During the most wonderful time of the year, you can join us for a jolly lineup of winter parties and themed entertainment unlike anything else on land or at sea. Special stem-to-stern holiday events include:

• Mickey’s Tree-Lighting Magic, where Mickey and his pals lead carols and the lighting of the ship’s three-deck-tall Christmas tree.
• Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball, a magical welcome party for the guests of honor, Santa and Mrs. Claus, featuring Broadway-style entertainment and favorite Disney characters… including a pair of royal sisters whose appearance causes a flurry of “frozen” fun as a magical snowfall overtakes the atrium!
• Deck the Deck Holiday Party, a tropical celebration up on deck where Disney friends lead hula hooping, limbo under oversized candy canes and high-energy family dances like the “Yuletide Slide” and a conga line around the pool.
• Holiday activities for the whole family, like building gingerbread houses, meeting Santa Claus and singing along with Dickens-inspired carolers. Plus, special activities just for kidsinclude decorating stockings and gingerbread men cookies, making holiday cards and creating holiday animation cells.
• Sea-sun’s greetings ashore at Disney’s private island Castaway Cay, where the celebration continues with “snow flurries,” a decked-out Christmas tree, Disney character meet-and-greets and merry island music.

And Guests sailing on each holiday will have even more festivities to enjoy, like Thanksgiving Day feasts and football games on the ship’s jumbo screen, Christmas morning surprises from Santa Claus and daily Hanukkah services.

It's time to set sail for a different kind of holiday celebration with Disney Cruise Line!

“Beauty and the Beast” to Become Brand-New Stage Spectacular Aboard Disney Cruise Line

 

 

We’re bringing a tale as old as time to the Walt Disney Theatre on the Disney Dream! We’ve assembled an all-star creative team who is currently developing a brand-new musical production, “Beauty and the Beast,” inspired by Disney’s live-action adaptation of the animated classic.

Your family will once again fall in love with the enchanting fairytale as this new production of “Beauty and the Beast” celebrates the romance, adventure and magic of the live-action film, weaving in the charm and nostalgia of the award-winning animated feature.

“Beauty and the Beast” aboard the Disney Dream will bring the timeless fable to life like never before, featuring a style of theater that interlaces classic storytelling elements with cutting-edge technology, to create a unique, theatrical experience in the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre. An innovative take on the story will transform renowned songs into spectacular, show-stopping numbers, and lavish costumes and puppetry will bring a fresh perspective to beloved characters.

“Beauty and the Beast” will debut during the Disney Dream voyage departing Nov. 6, 2017, joining an incredible lineup of Broadway-style stage productions aboard the ship, including “The Golden Mickeys” and “Disney’s Believe.”

Halloween on the High Seas

The Disney Park Blog shared some great tips by Jonathan Frontado, Public Relations Manager, Disney Cruise Line

This fall we’re bringing back our popular Halloween on the High Seas cruises so your family can have a ghoulishly good time on vacation. Festivities abound throughout September and October on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy and during October on the Disney Magic. With so much fun taking place, you’re likely wondering how you can make the most of your celebration. Here are some ways to ensure it’s a special experience for the entire family…

Bring a Costume: This may seem like a no-brainer, but there’s always that one family member who thinks they’re too old to join the fun. Find your inner child, pick out attire that makes you happy, and show it off during our lively costume parties! Families can attend Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party with games, dancing, Disney friends and lots of candy. Adults can enter our late-night Halloween Isn’t Just For Kids costume contest in the nighttime entertainment district.

Plant a Pumpkin: Your family can play a role in bringing our Pumpkin Tree to life. The tree is tended to by a mysterious, storytelling caretaker, who you can join the first night of the cruise in planting enchanted pumpkin seeds beneath the shadow of the eerie branches. Then watch as the tree magically transforms throughout the cruise from barren to the life of the party, full with unique and spooky Jack-O-Lanterns.

Listen Up: Get into the spirit of the season with spooky sights and sounds. Enjoy our Creepy Cabaret—a band of ghostly musicians—as they perform Halloween-themed music live in the atrium. Then join us for Haunted Stories of the Sea, where the bravest cruisers gather under the stars to hear some true—or not so true—tales of the sea told by a mysterious sea captain storyteller.

Say ‘Yes’ to Spooky Movies: All throughout the cruise you can catch Halloween-themed movies on Funnel Vision by the family pool and in your stateroom. And on one special night, you can join us for A Nightmare Before Christmas—Sing and Scream, which is an interactive movie experience inspired by Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” where you are part of the action. It’s followed by a meet-and-greet with Jack Skellington and Sally, a frightfully fun looking pair, don’t you think?

Treat Yourself: This Halloween you can do more than just sneak a few pieces of your kids’ candy. Our chefs have conjured some very special treats for Halloween, including chocolate cake with pumpkin filling, spider cakes and “Spooky Juice.” These sweets are of course in addition to the assortment of desserts and special beverages you can indulge in throughout your cruise, so it’s a good thing we don’t count calories on vacation!
Those of you who have sailed with us for Halloween on the High Seas in years past, what suggestions do you have for first timers?

Disney Cruise Line Returning to New York, California and Texas in Fall 2017

Brought to you from our friends on the Disney Parks Blog!

Exciting news! In fall of 2017, Disney cruisers will once again be able to sail from New York, California and Texas. These special seasons – homeporting from New York City, San Diego and Galveston – are in addition to cruises from Florida (Port Canaveral and Miami). Here are the highlights…

From New York City: Canada Coast and Bahamas Cruises
Cruises from New York City on the Disney Magic include a variety of Canada coast and Bahamas itineraries. Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is a new port of call on a seven-night Canada sailing – our longest-ever voyage to the Atlantic Canada coast. Bar Harbor, Maine, is another new port of call and part of a five-night sailing that will also stop at Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
Seven- and eight-night sailings to the Bahamas from New York all include a visit to Castaway Cay and to Port Canaveral, Fla., giving you the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World Resort. Each guest on these sailings will receive a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket and round-trip transportation for the short drive between the ship and the resort.

From San Diego, California: Baja and Mexican Riviera Cruises
San Diego voyages on the Disney Wonder visit Baja and the Mexican Riviera. In Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico, you’ll enjoy world-famous beaches and snorkeling. Puerto Vallerta and Mazatlan are where cliff diving and ziplining through the jungle canopy take center stage.

From Galveston, Texas: Caribbean and Bahamas Cruises
Following the season in San Diego, the Disney Wonder will sail from Galveston, Texas on seven-night cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Western Caribbean itineraries visit Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Falmouth, Jamaica. All Bahamian itineraries include a stop at Castaway Cay, Key West and Nassau.

The Disney Dream is growing :)

As previously posted on the Disney Parks Blog:
Just announced, we’re bringing exciting new experiences to the Disney Dream when we transform spaces throughout the ship this fall! Headlining the enhancements are two new interactive youth areas, one themed to Star Wars and another to Disney Infinity. We’re also adding a whimsical sweet shop serving handmade gelato and the ever-popular Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Here’s a look at the new spaces and the fun in store for Disney Dream cruisers …

Star Wars: Millennium Falcon
In Disney’s Oceaneer Club, kids are in for an out-of-this-galaxy experience in a newly themed play, Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, inspired by the spacecraft from the legendary saga.
Upon entering the spaceship, younglings will join the Rebel Alliance in the epic battle of good versus evil by assisting with the navigation of this powerful space vehicle. Sitting in the cockpit, children can pilot this super-cool spaceship through hyperspace and trigger lightspeed jumps to different locations around the galaxy.
We’ll also offer Star Wars-themed crafts, games and activities in this space. Plus, kids can watch episodes from the new Disney XD animated series, “Star Wars Rebels,” on a large screen or virtually join the rebellion at gaming stations featuring the series’ action-packed adventures.
The excitement continues during a shipboard version of the popular Jedi Training Academy experience that invites young Jedi hopefuls – known as “Padawans” – to learn lightsaber moves from a Jedi Master. They can then use the Force and face off in a final test against the evil Darth Vader.
Disney Infinity Toy Box
Also in the Oceaneer Club, a high-tech interactive space based on the Disney Infinity video game offers more fun for kids.
In the Disney Infinity Toy Box area, children can experience a whole new way of playing together with exciting virtual experiences and immersive activities. Customized, on-screen adventures will bring to life characters and stories from across The Walt Disney Company.
The complete set of Disney Infinity character figures will be on display for creative inspiration and available for gameplay. Kids visiting this special room – found only on the Disney Dream – will be able to unlock exclusive Disney Cruise Line content that they can continue to enjoy when playing Disney Infinity at home.
Special activities will bring the virtual gameplay experience to life in the real world. For example, a life-sized Disney Infinity Base sets the stage where children take the place of character figures for a group gaming experience unlike any other. Lighting up in response to gameplay on a large screen, this interactive floor will allow kids to be immersed in the Toy Box.

Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats
Handmade gelato and ice cream, an assortment of candy, and delectable novelty treats are some of the deliciousness available for purchase at Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats. Resembling the whimsical candy land of the Sugar Rush race car game in “Wreck-It Ralph,” the sweet shop’s décor features nods to the film, including a race track and checkerboard patterned floor, gas pump-style gumball dispensers, Vanellope’s race car and King Candy’s throne. This specialty store coming to Deck 11 will have two entrances, inside Cabana’s restaurant and outside by the pool deck.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, coming to Deck 5 midship, will bring to life the storybook fantasies of young guests with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers. This very special salon will offer aspiring princesses and knights ages three to 12 the chance to transform into royalty with the help of a fairy godmother-in-training. On pirate party night this boutique becomes The Pirates League where swashbuckling pirates of all ages will have the opportunity to unleash their inner buccaneer.
Satellite Falls
Exclusively for adults, Deck 13 forward will include a new water feature, Satellite Falls, a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.
This wave of enhancements to the Disney Dream debuts on the October 26 four-night voyage from Port Canaveral, following the ship’s dry dock October 4-24, 2015 in Freeport, Bahamas. Which new space are you most excited about?

Disney Cruise Line - must do vacation!

It's just no secret that I am a lover of all Disney Vacations.

However, it's very clear when someone says "so what about a Disney Cruise?!" and my eyes just light up.

Don't get me wrong, I love being in the parks, and everything that goes along with that, but I think as my kids have gotten older and life is just "busier" and we are all very much a slave our electronic leash (you know, the phone or the upgrade we just HAVE to have!!!)

Anyways, as life has progressed, I think I love to partner a Disney Vacation, with a complete disconnect from the rest of the world.

We have great dinners together, we play together, we focus on each other, and yes...we even take a nap or two!

So, then, when I finish convincing you that you MUST try a Disney Cruise Line Vacation, then come all of the "must-do" items.

So, I thought I would list a few here:

But, of course, I must say....don't book a Disney Cruise on your own! Use an Authorized Disney Travel Planner. The tips and resources they can offer are priceless! Oh, and I just happen to know an amazing Authorized Disney Travel Planner!!! :)

Things you MUST know before going on a Disney Cruise:

1. The staterooms are "small". They are much larger than other cruise lines, because they are made for families, but even still. They are small. Pack tight!


2. Be sure when you book your cruise, you go ahead and login to your Planning Center online.
Don't procrastinate on this one.
You want to go ahead and reserve your Port Adventures.
Register your children for the Oceaneer Lab or Oceaneer Club (even if you think they will never go in there! This will save lots of time on the ship, if you have done all of this in advance!)

3. Plan to dress up for Pirate Night!! Even if you only wear Pirate Patches and a fun pirate tshirt! Play along! There aren't many opportunities that you have to look crazy as a family, and it's totally acceptable (and you'll be glad you did!)

4. Bring a cup. Preferably a travel-style cup with a lid.
Coca-Cola products, coffee, hot cocoa are available on the pool deck with unlimited refills, however, the cups that are provided aren't great for the journey back to the room, or for sitting in your beach chair!

5, Room Service is free!
Yes, that's right. It is included in the price of your cruise.
It's great for breakfast on your Castaway Cay morning, so you can get off of the ship early.
Or it's great late at night, for a late Giant Cookie or Mickey Ice Cream Bar!!
You will want to bring a few dollar bills with you, to tip your Room Service Host.
(Coca-Cola products, and bottled water are not complimentary with room service)

6. Disney Movies!
This is a great time to catch up on a movie that you haven't had time to see just yet! There are always the most recent first-run Disney movies playing in the Buena Vista theater.

And then tons of other classic favorites playing on the pool deck, Funnel Vision!

7.  Bring sunscreen.
Yes, I know. You have a bottle in the beach bag.
But, please, bring 2 more! atleast!
That Caribbean sun is H.O.T!!
 (you can thank me later when you aren't paying $12 per bottle)


8. Pre-pay your gratuities!
This will save lots of hassle while you are on board.
If you do this before you leave home, then you've already budgeted it in, and one less expense you have to pay onboard.

**Also, you are going to LOVE your servers, so you might want to play to bring extra $$ for them**
We always feel like they are our family by the time disembark.

9. While in port:
If you have already been to Nassau, or if you are only on a 3 night cruise, you might not want to get off of the ship!
This is a great time to stay on board, and enjoy a very empty ship!
Watch a movie, go to the Fitness Center or play Croquet with Alice in the Atrium!


10. Highlighters.
We have found that highlighters are a prized possession for us while on board.
We keep a Personal Navigator in the stateroom and we each have our own color.

Then we highlight what we hope to not miss, and this helps us keep track of the day, and each other!!

Oceaneer Bands are introduced to Disney Cruise Line

The new Oceaneer Bands are introduced to Disney Cruise Line Oceaneer Clubs and Oceaneer Labs.

Take a look at how they work:

What's the best way to get to the Disney Cruise Line Terminal?

Here's a breakdown of the Cruise Transportation Options to and from Port Canaveral....and a few extra things to note;

1. Disney Cruise Line Transfers:
Cost: Approx $32 per person (each way)

Pros: Easy! They pick you up at the airport after you retrieve your luggage, deliver you to the Disney Cruise Line terminal, and then return you to the airport at the end of the cruise.

Cons: This might be a costly option for you.

2. Car Service -
Cost: Approx $117 each way or $210 if you book round-trip

Pros: Easy.
A driver will pick you up at the airport, help you retrieve your luggage and deliver you to/from  the Disney Cruise Line Terminal.

Cons: Schedule. This driver will be scheduled for pickup and delivery, so you will need to make sure to get to the Baggage Claim area as quickly as possible after your flight has landed. And the same at the end of the cruise. This will be a scheduled pickup, so you will need to be time-aware.

Some people are "particular" and don't want a "stranger" driving them....in a standard vehicle.
And this might be a little costly for your budget.

3. Taxi -
Cost: Approx $110 each way

Pros: Flexible schedule. When your flight lands, you retrieve your luggage and proceed to the Taxi area to secure your Taxi.

Cons:
Sometimes, you might have to wait on the next available taxi.
Some people are not comfortable with Taxi drivers in general.
Cost might be an issue for this method.

4. One way rental car
Cost: Approx $50 each way

Pros: Complete flexibility. This allows you the opportunity to pick up the car when you are ready to leave the airport, at your convenience.
And it gives you the flexibility of being able to make stops along the way, for groceries, or lunch, or if you realize you have forgotten something at home :)

Cons:
You have to pay the tolls on the interstate.

Of the 4 options, this one requires the most "effort" on your part.
You will have to pickup the car at the airport. And return it to the rental location NEAR the cruise line terminal, but not AT the cruise line terminal.
When you arrive at the Rental Car location, you will return the car, and then, they will shuttle you and your family and your luggage to the terminal.

*This is a very easy process, but it does take a little bit of time. So I would allow 30 minutes from when you arrive at the Rental Car location....until your arrival at the Cruise Line terminal.

Then the same thing in reverse, when your cruise is complete.
You will retrieve your luggage, and then proceed to the Rental Car Shuttle area.
They will shuttle you to the Rental Car location, and then you will pick up your car there, and drive to the airport. And then return the car.
Then proceed inside for your flight, as usual.

-------------------------------

Now----on a personal note,
I have used all 4 of these options, with my family.

I have listed them in order of convenience, and they are in reverse order of cost.

So, this is such a personal decision as to which option is best for you and your family.

But, if you are trying to decide...and still need my opinion, please feel free to ask!

But no matter what you choose, I can help you set it all up, and help make it as easy for you as possible :)

Bookings for these 2012 itineraries can be made beginning Thursday, April 7, 2012.

The little-er people can now ride the Aqua Duck!

This is a super fun announcement!

Disney Cruise Line has made a "minor" adjustment (pun completely intended) to its height requirements for the AquaDuck on the Dream. The minimum height requirement for kids will drop from 48 inches to 42 inches. To ride alone, however, the height requirement increases from 48 inches to 54 inches. Also, kids must be at least 7 years old to ride alone. Children under seven must ride with someone who is at least 14 years old.

A fun note: the reason for the change is mostly because the "too little weight" can sometimes slow down or stop the raft in the ride tube.

**Oh, if all of our problems were that we had "too little weight" :)

Private Cabanas on Castaway Cay

I love these Cabanas on Castaway Cay. To be honest, I would have NEVER considered spending $499 for a "little beach hut"....

BUT


Then, I visited it.



I went into the Cabanas, and toured them for myself. And, now.......I pretty much think that the next Disney Cruise we go on, we will probably reserve these as a family.

Look at the convenience of this.


Stocked throughout the day with drinks and snacks!!



I love LOVE love the beach access.......you will have this private beach access, where the only people on the beach with you are the few families with Cabanas.


So, on your next Disney Cruise, make sure to consider the Private Cabanas....you'll be glad you did.

The Disney Dream - Oceaneer Lab and Oceaneer Club

Can I just say....I wish I was a kid again?! When I walked into the Oceaneer Lab, I was immediately in love! This place is every kid's dream!



The Disney Dream has re-designed their way of thinking on this one, and I just love it all. It is NOT based on their ages...but based on their interests! What a novel idea!!!

They don't have to be forced to be in the room with 4-year-olds, just because they are 4...what if they have the interest of a 6-year-old....or what if they are sailing with a cousin...and want to play with them....well, you go right ahead!!! The Disney Dream is at your service!

Look at how fun this place is! I can touch the ceiling!




But, quite honestly, I think the coolest part is the hand-washing stations!!! Yes! Check this out.

• You put both hands in.
• It sprays warm water.
• Then sprays soap.
• The sprays again...for 30-40 seconds (the appropriate amount of time to wash hands!!).
• Then...dries!

Are you kidding me! This is fantastic!


Ok, here's one of the cool spots! It is the Monsters Inc. part of the club! This place was full of the cool-ness that Roz, and Mike, and Sully can only bring. Full of laughs, and jokes, and good times.



I even managed to fill up the "laugh tank".......now that is good stuff!

(thanks to Susie for capturing this fun moment!)

Then, moving over to Pixie Hollow! Are you serious! Pixie Hollow.....oh, every little girl in the world will just be in her own little fairy-world here!
It is ready for all fairies of all sizes, to come in and play until they just can't play any more. To believe in the magic of fairy tales, and to set their little dreams up as high as they can! AHH! I love it here!

And then................................ANDY'S ROOM!!!!!!!!


Oh, now, seriously, I know I've said it before....but I could stay in here forever! So crazy cute!!!

Ok, this huge barrel of monkeys, and then Mrs. Potato Head with real parts!!! Parts as big as me! This is just too much!

And, yes, that is Susie playing in the Slinky tunnel! Oh, the cuteness!

Yes, I think the workers in here were thinking we have officially lost our minds! Playing in here...and um....we did not have our kids with us?!

All in all, I would say this is the best little play place ever!!!

Disney Dream Alert!!

Last minute offer!

I have an Oceanview Stateroom on the sold out Disney Dream....May 26th sailing...3 night cruise to the Bahamas.

I have this booked as a family of 4----

Total: $2,034.

This offer expires at midnight tonight!

email me if you are interested:

Disney Dream Fitness Center

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!! A runner's dream!!!

Imagine how in love I was when I walked into the Fitness Center on the Disney Dream to see this fabulous row of treadmills...overlooking the water!

I mean, I am NOT a fan of the treadmill, infact, I lovingly refer to it as the DREADmill.......but...if I am gonna be on this lavish ship...and get my miles in, this is EXACTLY how I want to do it!

Yes, fabulous!

Ok, moving on! Not only does the Disney Dream feature these fabulous treadmills, but this Fitness Center, located on Deck 11, has a fabulous variety of cardio equipment as well as weights and other items.

The Fitness Center includes:

• Weight machines
• Spinning machines
• Treadmills and Ellipticals
