Ahoy Caryn!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. How exciting that you will be setting off for the wild frontier of
Alaska with Captain Mickey this summer! I agree with you completely! The views from onboard the
Disney Wonder are out of this world beautiful.
Disney Cruise Line offers some incredible
Port Adventures in Alaska. The
Glacier Explorer at Dawes Glacier is certainly one of them.
My pirates-in-training were roughly the same age as your children when we sailed to Alaska. They love to be outside, but must keep moving. We were challenged to keep their attention on longer Port Adventures that were focused on nature and sightseeing. They loved to see the glacier up close, but it did not hold their attention long. My pirates did better with hiking tours and dog sled adventures where they were in motion for most of the experience.
You know your pirates best. If they are laid back and enjoy sightseeing, this Port Adventure would be an amazing experience for them. If they are similar to my pirates, there may be a better
Port Adventure that fits their active vacation style in a different port. If you are interested in this adventure personally, you could book it for the adults in your party and enjoy it while your pirates spend some time in the
Oceaneer Club!
Sail back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with any additional questions you have while planning your Alaskan getaway. We love to help you create the most magical vacation for you and your family!
Bon voyage! Angie
