Welcome to Day 4 in our 10 Days of Disney Video Tour.
We’ve set sail with Disney Cruise Line!
Neither Janice nor I had ever been on a cruise before, and we never planned on taking a cruise… certainly not with our kids.
Wow, we were missing out!!!
The Disney Cruise turned out to be a fabulous way to get the best of all worlds for everyone in the family.
Check it out…

I’ve been on a cruise before but never a Disney Cruise. I love that they allow small children (as young as 12 wks old!) onboard & offer babysitting services!

I was on a Disney Cruise when I was in High School with my family. It was a really fun experience (even as a teenager with her family!) and my favorite part was the private island the ship stopped at.

Nope, I never been on a cruise before, but I love that they’re filled with Disney characters and family fun!
Michelle L says
Never been on a cruise, but I think being on a boat with the Disney characters would be amazing.
Amanda R. says
I have personally never been on a Disney Cruise, but have been dreaming about going on one for years. I think the best part would be any and all things Disney. Disney in itself is so magical and so exciting. I also think that having Characters on the boat would be pretty amazing!
Nancy says
I’ve been on cruises but never a Disney cruise. I think the kids programs would be the best part!
MommaDJane says
I took my 12yo daughter on a Disney Cruise for her 6th birthday. It was amazing. I have never been on another cruise before. I loved all the entertainment. I really enjoyed the show we got to see, it was like being on Broadway Disney style. We are hoping to go again this coming January since Disney is doing the kids sail free program which is amazing!
Wendy Kreskowiak says
The stars, seems like perfect family vacation option!
Spookygirl says
I have not been on a Disney Cruise, it all looks like fun!! I think I’ll really like the food and the ability to sneak off to do adult things while the kids are entertained 😉
Stephanie says
I’ve never been on a Disney cruise, but I bet I’d love the shows. I have to admit: I’m a fan of musicals. There’s just something so magical about them. In fact, sometimes I wish life was more like a musical. Wouldn’t it be fun if we all just broke out in choreographed song and dance from time-to-time? 🙂
QuatroMama says
I Love that it’s parent friendly as well as kid friendly!
Terri says
The night with the stars would be awesome – my daughter would love that!
Kristina says
Hands down the shows!! I so wanna go to Disney now!!
Yoli Cintra says
I love Disney cruise! I love that is all inclusive and you go to their private island. I also love all the character on board.
Beachcomber says
I went on a Disney Cruise a long ago. Beides all of the good food I enjoyed meeting Chip and Dale and getting my picture taken with them. Of course going to Disney’s private Island in the Bahamas.
Cat says
I haven’t been on a cruise before but the deck party sure does look like fun!
Cathi ~ The Way I See It Too says
have not been on a Disney Cruise however, I will be going on one. We have been wanting to take our children and grandchildren on a cruise. We want to have a family atmosphere for the little ones and we know that Disney will provide that.
I would love to sit in the theater and watch the live performances with my grandchildren. We went on a cruise with another cruise line in 2000 and again this year with the same cruise line. Can you believe that the live show was exactly the same 9 years later????
TheAngelForever says
We have never gone on a Disney Cruise before. I think I love how family friendly they are. This would mix the best of both the cruising world and our love for all things Disney.
Tricia says
I went on a Disney cruise when I was 9 (years ago) and loved every minute of it. My favorite part was the special party we had with Mickey and Minnie on the boat. I bet it has gotten so much better since I went!
Jen W says
I have never been on a cruise either, but I am a HUGE Disney nut and have been wanting to do this cruise! My youngest just turned 3 so I’m not sure if she’ll be old enough to truly enjoy/remember a cruise, but it looks as if there were a lot of younger children on this cruise- we just might have to start saving for this one!
sara loud says
having all the excitement in one place with no running around would be great!

I have never been on a cruise, but I heard that the Disney Cruise caters to the families and that it’s stress free.
Val Pearson says
I have never ever been on a Disney Cruise or any cruise for that matter. I don’t care how old I am, I would love to see the characters all dressed up! It looks like a super fun time. Since I went to Disneyland on my honeymoon, we might catch a Disney Cruise for our 50th anniversary! Or just for fun, whichever we can afford first!

I so want to go on one! I think it would be great to bring the kids along and never have them tell me “I’m bored!”
Peggy Gorman says
It looks wonderful! I would love to go on a cruise,just to be out on the water,it would be fantastic

I’ve never been on a cruise — but I’d say the dining options would be what I would be most floored over!
Elizabeth says
I haven’t been on one yet but I’ve heard that the fun towel creatures they leave on the beds at night are delightful!
Magi says
I desperately want to go on one of these cruises. About every five years, my family tries to do a big event for Christmas. My father’s birthday is in December, so we make it a big blowout. We’ve all gone to NYC, Key West, Callaway Gardens, etc… I’ve been pushing for our next one to be a Disney Cruise. I think all the grandkids from the one to be born this December to the 16 year old would find something to entertain them. Our toddler group of three cousins from 3-5 would be in princess heaven.

Lorie Shewbridge says
We took the boys on the DCL when they were 10 & 13. The best part was the TONS of things for each of them to do. The oldest spent so much time in the teen club that we hardly ever saw him. 🙂 My youngest LOVED the science club. The one time I made sure we were all together was dinner which was absolutely FABULOUS!! Plus they got to experience the different cultures of the islands we visited. It is an experience they still talk about and they are now 18 & 21.
Mandy W says
We have not gone on a cruise yet with Disney, but I do so want to. I love the pictures of the kids playing on the island with Captain Hook that Disney shows and can easily imagine my girls playing there! I also think the idea of the kids activities being monitored while parents have some down time. It all sounds good to me!
Diane says
I have never been – but would love, love to go on one! I think it would be great fun for the family to enjoy and relax together! @frufrugal
Becky says
We hope to one day have a family reunion on a Disney Cruise. I love the entertainment they have to offer.
Lisa Branson says
Never been on a Cruise, but the Disney Cruise is a dream of mine…hoping to go on one in the near future!
Jessica T says
There is almost nothing better than a cruise so I just can’t imagine it combined with Disney! That is a dream of ours!
Alice says
I have never been on a cruise, but I think a Disney one would be so much fun. I think my favorite part would be that it is so family friendly.

I’ve only been on cruise for a couple of hours and it was a gambling cruise, the smoke about killed me. I’d love to take the kids on a Disney Cruise, family fun all the way.
Becky says
Never been on a cruise, but I’m sure we would love the food, the entertainment for the kids. . . not cooking!! like one of the other moms said. LOL!
Lee says
We love cruising but that is something we do without kids. If we ever lose our minds and take them with us, it would be Disney all the way.

We have never been on a Disney cruise, but have wanted to do one for a while now! I have several friends who have done it and they have all had nothing but fantastic reviews! I think we’d like all of the childrens activities that they offer and Castaway Cay the best!

Angie says
I’ve never been on a cruise before and have been trying to convince my MIL that a Disney Cruise would be a better family trip for us than other cruises since there are many young children in the family. Maybe if I show her there is fun for adults too!
Thanks!
Shannon (The Mommy-Files) says
I’ve never been on a cruise before. However, after watching this video, I could tell you I love that it’s a family-friendly cruise and that they have tons of activities for kids. Great video girls!
Ivy says
I’ve been on a cruise before, but it wasn’t Disney. I think I’d like the dining environment that changes as the meal progresses, but I love the fact that they have things planned for kids of all ages.
Pam says
I’ve never been on a cruise, but I think I’d like being able to see the water and sunsets everyday.
Kiki says
What an awesome thing for Disney to do! The Disney cruises sound like a perfect alternative to the theme parks especially during the crowded months!

Never been on one, but having so many activities for the kids would definitely be great!
Chrissy says
I have yet to be on a Disney Cruise or any cruise for that matter, but I think it would be a fun experience! There seems to be a ton of entertainment and an great way of seeing different countries or parts of a country without flying from one place to another. I can’t wait to go on one someday!
Annie says
I have never been on one. I think that just being on the water and exploring the ship would be fun.
Krista says
We just booked our Disney Cruise/vacation, leaving February 27th!! This was such a great find! Can’t wait to keep watching!
The Mom Jen says
I’ve never been on a Disney cruise or any cruise and I love that everything is inclusive financially.
Karen says
I have never been on a Disney cruise but it is high on my list of potential vacation ideas. I think it sounds like a perfect vacation when you have small children. I think everyone should experience it at least once. Everyone I know that has gone has great things to report.

I’ve never been on a cruise, let alone a Disney one. If we ever do decide to go on a cruise, it will most definitely be a Disney one. Disney just does everyone so well, that I know we’d love it!
Dezi Allen says
Never been on a cruise at all. I’d probably love the fact that my kids would have just as much to love as I would. Sigh… hopefully one day.
chyk says
i have never been on a disney cruise, but i hear the disney islands are nice. i think i would also love not having to cook.
Michelle says
I’ve never been on a Disney Cruise, but, knowing how Disney does things at Disney World and Disneyland, I can’t imagine not loving every minute of one.
Raelena says
I have never been on ANY kind of cruise. I think what I would like most about it is being able to hang out on deck and look at the beautiful ocean.

I’ve never been on a cruise but what I think would be best about it would be all the things for my kids to do. They have never cruised before and I can’t think of a better first cruise for them than one with Disney!

I soooooooo want to take my son on a Disney Cruise. I don’t think I could pick just one thing that I would like most. Between the shows, the dining, the stars, the fun and interaction both for and with the kids and adults, and even the time away from the kids, I just don’t know. The main thing would be that I want my son to have a wonderful time and experience. And I would him to walk away from the vacation feeling blessed.
Amy says
My husband and I have always wanted to go on a cruise. Recently, I have been researching the Disney cruises. They look so fun and family friendly! I like that once I step on the ship we are taken care of-a load off for mom!
