Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the myth just needs to be debunked that the deck one is not as bad as people make it out to be.

I absolutely love this stateroom. I'm really excited about being here.

This particular room on deck one, I probably would not choose again.

Deck one, absolutely. This particular room on the Magic, probably not.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring hooks for your stateroom, but they may not be necessary on the Magic as walls are not magnetic.
If prone to seasickness, choose a room midship lower level on the Magic or Wonder ships.
Consider deck two midship as a great place to be on the Magic and Wonder.

I stayed in a Deck 1 connecting stateroom on the Disney Magic with four kids, and I'm giving you the full honest review. Room 1052. Portholes, connecting rooms, storage, noise, seasickness, and whether I'd do it again. Short answer: Deck 1 yes. Room 1052 specifically? Probably not. Here's why.
