Ahoy, Robert!
It's lovely welcoming you back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I know how excited you must be getting for your Alaskan adventure aboard Disney Cruise Line! The gorgeous Port of Vancouver Canada Place Terminal is one of my favorite Cruise Terminals that Disney sails from! In my opinion, the city of
Vancouver is beautiful, bustling and filled with friendly people. I can't wait for you and your family to explore all that this city has to offer.
Since Vancouver was a new departure port for my family, the first time we set sail to Alaska out of Vancouver we arrived a day early to ensure we wouldn't be late for our cruise. Well, the second time we set sail to Alaska we arrived a
few days early because we wanted to spend more time in Vancouver - we loved it so much! Haha! If your boys love adventure, they might enjoy boarding a seaplane (right from Canada Place in downtown Vancouver), experience a water take-off and fly to Victoria! My family and I also enjoyed shopping, eating our way around the city and taking our picture in front of the Olympic Cauldron.
I highly recommend staying at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel. This hotel is so luxurious and right across the street from the Cruise Terminal. One of my favorite memories before our most recent voyage to Alaska is getting up early to watch the
Disney Wonder sail in and dock at the terminal; we watched right from our hotel window! On the morning of embarkation, we literally walked to our Disney Cruise while rolling our luggage with us!
Thank you so much for visiting us! If you can think of any future questions, we'd love to hEAR from you again!
