Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done Disney cruises with toddlers, preschoolers, young kids, tween, and now teens.

If it's your first cruise, we usually recommend a shorter 3 to four night itinerary just to get a feel for how your family does on the ship.

Disney cruises book up fast, especially the more popular stateooms and theme sailings.

What makes Disney Cruises magical for families is how much there is to do for every single age.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose your itinerary based on cruise length, departure port, and time of year.
✓Book as early as possible to get the best selection and prices.
✓Bring reef-safe sunscreen, flip-flops, pirate night outfits, and magnetic hooks.
✓Use the Disney Cruise Line Navigator account to plan port excursions and kids club registrations.
✓Balance family time with breaks by letting kids use the kids clubs while adults enjoy adult-only spaces.
