Greetings, Elaine, and welcome to
planDisney!
Thank you for reaching out to planDisney, it would be my pleasure to help a fellow Canadian Disney fan, and someone who is about to embark on a
Disney Vacation by Land and Sea, my most popular way to vacation with Disney! In fact, we just completed a land and sea stay and loved it!
The absolute easiest way is to
contact a friendly and helpful Cast Member at Disney Cruise Line to arrange a land and sea package. I used to do this before I discovered that I could find better deals for land stays and cruises myself by signing into my Disney account online and my Disney Cruise Line account online respectively and ensuring that I align my arrival and departure with my cruise dates. If you do book the entire package with Disney Cruise Line, ask for a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel confirmation number which you can use to
link to your My Disney Experience planning because you will need to secure the required
Disney Park Pass Reservations for each valid day of theme park admission (subject to change).
When booking your Walt Disney World Resort vacation package online, please note that you will have to secure two separate Guest Room bookings that you can easily link together to facilitate planning during your land stay. When booking your cruise, simply select the
Add a Stateroom feature during your booking process and the two staterooms will be automatically linked together for planning and you will also be seated together for your rotational dining. For stateroom considerations for your party of 10, you may wish to look over the staterooms that accommodate 5 Guests that have the word “Family” in the title description.
Disney Cruise Line offers many connecting staterooms enabling you to open a door between staterooms for easier access. Elaine, whatever way you decide to book, please ensure that you arrange for
Disney Cruise Line ground transportation for all legs of your journey for peace of mind and efficiency.
Tips:Download the
My Disney Experience App to manage planning during your land stay including travel party selections from your
Family & Friends list for dining reservations, Disney Genie+ service for the use of the Lightning Lane entrances, utilizing Virtual Queues, linking to Disney PhotoPass Service and much more!
Download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to manage your plans and utilize the many helpful features to add greater convenience during your cruise.
I hope this information serves you well, Elaine and I would be happy to assist you further with your planning if you wish, please feel free to reach out to me here at planDisney.
Best Disney Wishes!
Jacqueline
