Check out my most recent stateroom aboard the Disney Wish this past June! The theming is adorable, the split bathrooms make it easy for families, and the sitting area that is a secret bed is perfect for more space during the day.

This was the perfect little home away from home at sea ✨

Disney Cruise Line Staterooms: Something for Everyone! ✨🚢

When you sail with Disney Cruise Line, your stateroom is more than just a place to sleep, it’s your family’s home at sea.

Here are the different types of staterooms you can choose from:
🔹 Concierge Level – The ultimate luxury at sea. Concierge guests enjoy spacious suites, exclusive lounges and sundecks, priority boarding, and personalized service that takes your vacation to the next level.

🔹 Verandah Staterooms – Step outside to your own private balcony! Perfect for sipping coffee in the morning, watching sunsets, or enjoying fresh ocean air.

🔹 Oceanview Staterooms – These have a large porthole (or two!) so you can enjoy natural light and ever-changing sea views right from your room.

🔹 Inside Staterooms – Cozy, budget-friendly, and still packed with Disney magic. On select ships, they even feature a “magical porthole” with a real-time ocean view and surprise Disney characters popping by!

No matter which stateroom you choose, you’ll find clever Disney design touches, split bathrooms (super handy for families!), and the comfort and magic that make a Disney cruise so special.

✨ Day 3 of our Disney Cruise Line takeover is all about fun for kids and teens! ✨

One of the things families love most about Disney cruises is that there’s truly something for everyone—including the youngest sailors.

👶 It’s a Small World Nursery (6 months–3 years)
The littlest cruisers have their own cheerful space designed just for them. With trained Disney counselors, safe play areas, and nap time spots, parents can enjoy a little grown-up time knowing their babies are cared for.

👧 Disney Cruise Line’s Oceaneer Club (ages 3–10)
Step into a world of magic where kids can explore themed spaces like Andy’s Room, Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, or Marvel Super Hero Academy (varies by ship!). With interactive activities, character visits, and imaginative play, it’s pure Disney magic designed just for them.

👉 Plus, the magic doesn’t stop onboard—there’s even an extension of the Oceaneer Club on Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, so kids can have just as much fun ashore!

👦 Edge (ages 11–14)
This pre-teen space gives kids a spot of their own to hang out, play games, watch movies, and make new friends. It’s the perfect mix of independence and fun in a safe environment.

👩 Vibe (ages 14–17)
A trendy teen club where older kids can chill, join activities, or just relax with new friends. Think of it as the ultimate teen lounge at sea, with music, games, and even outdoor spaces on select ships.

💡 And here’s the best part: parents can relax knowing their kids are not only safe, but having an amazing time while they enjoy some adult-exclusive dining, a visit to the spa, or just lounging by the pool.

That’s the Disney difference—everyone gets their own bit of magic at sea!

Room Service, Disney Style ✨🛎️

One of the sweetest perks of sailing with Disney Cruise Line? 24-hour complimentary room service! Whether it’s a cozy breakfast in bed, a mid-afternoon snack, or a late-night treat, you can have it delivered right to your stateroom. 🚢

My personal favorites?
🍪 Warm milk & cookies before bed (the ultimate nightcap!)
🍦 Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars—yes, you can order them to your room!
🥪 Breakfast pastries and coffee to enjoy on the balcony while overlooking the beautiful ocean views

It’s the little touches like this that make your cruise feel extra magical. ✨

Palo Brunch = Pure Magic 🥂

If there’s one dining experience you must splurge on during a Disney Cruise, it’s Palo brunch!!

From made-to-order pastas and pizzas to fresh seafood, decadent desserts, and endless bubbly, every bite feels like a celebration. Add in sweeping ocean views and impeccable service, and it’s the perfect way to spend a sea day. 🚢

This adult-exclusive experience does require a reservation and an additional cost, but trust me, it’s worth every penny! ✨

Gourmet food at sea? Yes please!!!

Look at all of these amazing bites from my cruise this past June on the Disney Wish! 🚢

🍴✨ Dining on Disney Cruise Line ✨🍴

One of the most magical parts of sailing with Disney Cruise Line is the variety of dining options included in your vacation! From themed dining rooms to quick bites by the pool, every meal is part of the experience. Here’s a look at what makes Disney dining so special at sea:

🌟 Rotational Dining
Every evening you’ll rotate between three uniquely themed restaurants, each with its own menu and atmosphere. The best part? Your servers rotate with you, learning your preferences and making every meal feel personalized.

🌟 Casual & Quick Service
Grab poolside favorites like pizza, burgers, or fresh fruit, or stop by the buffets and cafés for a relaxed meal whenever hunger strikes.

🌟 Room Service
Craving a late-night snack? Disney offers 24-hour complimentary room service- perfect for cozy nights in.

🌟 Adult-Exclusive Dining
On select ships, you’ll find Palo, Remy, or Enchanté- luxurious, adults-only dining experiences with gourmet menus and romantic settings. (Additional cost apply)

🌟 Soft Drinks Included
Sodas, coffees, juices and tea are all included in your sailing, so there’s always something to satisfy your cravings!

Dining with Disney is more than just a meal... it’s a magical part of your cruise vacation. 🚢✨
