    Would like advice and help planning a Disney Cruise August 2024

    Hello there, Hayley!

    Welcome to planDisney! Like you, we are a bunch of Guests who have a passion for planning Disney vacations. I’d be honored to help guide you through the Disney Cruise Line vacation planning process. 

    First things first, you’ll need to decide what far-off places you’ll want to visit first. Will it be the tropical islands of the Caribbean, closer to home in Europe, or the wilderness of Alaska? You can view all of the Summer 2024 itineraries on this page, but I prefer to find a cruise by essentially building it on the Disney Cruise Line website. You’ll need to determine how many dates you want to set sail, where you want to sail to, and what port you want to leave from. Once you fill in this information, the website will show you which ships and itineraries are available for booking.

    Hayley, planDisney has a perfect step-by-step Disney Cruise Line Vacation Planning Checklist on the website. The checklist walks you through the following steps: 1) Browse Itineraries, 2) Book Your Cruise, 3) Download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App, 4) Book On Board Activities and Port Adventures, 5) Pre-Book Photo Packages, and 6) Final Preparations. 

    I also recommend taking a look at the planDisney Disney Cruise Line Pocket Guides. These resources offer a wonderful overview of what each ship has to offer. They offer a summary of the room accommodations, themed dining experiences, youth club activities, entertainment, and different recreation activities available on each ship. Last but not least, why not listen to the planDisney Podcast, Presented by State Farm, an episode all about Disney Cruise Line First Timer Tips while you are planning your vacation?

    Once you decide which cruise you’d like to take or if you need any other advice, please feel free to come back with more questions or call a friendly Cast Member to help you with your booking experience. 

    May the magic be with you!
