    how do i book a land and sea cruise

    Ahoy, Thomas

    Planning a Disney vacation that combines both the nonstop excitement of Walt Disney World and the relaxing vibe of a Disney Cruise is a great way to experience the magic. I think hitting the theme parks before setting sail is the way to go. After days of thrills, fireworks, and walking countless miles through the parks, there’s nothing better than unwinding on a Disney Cruise, where the hardest decision you’ll make is whether to grab an ice cream cone or take a nap by the pool.

    To help you plan your Land and Sea adventure, here’s a step-by-step guide to make everything as smooth as the free ice cream on the ship.

    Step One: Book Your Cruise
    Start by locking in your Disney Cruise dates since those are less flexible. It’s much easier to plan your Walt Disney World stay around them. 

    Step Two: Plan Your Days at Walt Disney World
    Once your cruise is booked, it’s time to decide how many days you want to spend in the parks. My ideal Land and Sea itinerary includes at least four full park days, one for each theme park. 

    Step Three: Choose the Perfect Disney Resort
    Next up, where to stay! Disney resorts offer options for every budget and style. Here are my top picks:

    Value Resort: Disney’s Pop Century Resort – The Skyliner access for an easy ride to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios can't be beat.

    Moderate Resort: Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter – Small, charming, and home to the best Mickey-shaped beignets around.

    Deluxe Resort: Disney’s Beach Club Resort – A short stroll to EPCOT and home to Stormalong Bay, the most amazing pool on property.

    Step Four: Tickets and Dining
    Once your resort is set, it’s time to think about theme park tickets and dining plans. 

    If you’d rather not handle all the details yourself, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner can help you book everything at no extra cost. A quick search online should get you started with some options. No matter how you plan it, your Disney Land and Sea adventure will be pure magic from start to finish.

    Wishing you magical memories, smooth sailing, and the adventure of a lifetime!
