Take a Disney Family Cruise!

A Disney family cruise offers kids the most entertainment and amenities. Not surprisingly Disney Cruise Lines has a great deal of time and space devoted to their Junior Cruisers. Parents are issued pagers to allow them to stay in touch. Staterooms are configured especially for families, with extra storage and most with scenic ocean views and split bathrooms to make getting ready easier.

Youth activities aboard the Disney family cruise ships, the Magic and the Disney Wonder include spectacular Disney-themed live shows, pool and deck parties, and Disney Character greetings—engaging, one-of-a-kind activities found only aboard Disney Cruise Line ships.

They both have 875 staterooms. Disney is also preparing to add two additional cruise liners, the Disney Dream (in 2011) and Disney Fantasy (in 2012). Each vessel will have 1250 staterooms.

Due to the larger crowds that these new ships will be bringing, Disney’s is expanding its private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.
