Greetings, and welcome to planDisney Karen, we thank you for your question!
Combining a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation with a
Disney Cruise Line vacation in my opinion encompasses the BEST of everything, congratulations! Karen, you will have to book your Walt Disney World Resort stay before or after your sailing, and simply arrange Disney Cruise Line ground transportation to either pick you up from your Disney Resort hotel before your sailing, or drop you off at your Disney Resort hotel after your sailing it’s all up to you, and Disney Cruise Line ground transportation does this all the time, it’s the best way to get you to the Port, or back to Walt Disney World Resort – great convenience and peace of mind, in my opinion.
For your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation package, be sure to add theme park tickets and any options, such as the
Disney Genie+ service for each day of your theme park admission, which will save you time waiting in lines. You can easily access the Disney Genie+ service via your My Disney Experience app. Be sure to
link your reservations to My Disney Experience to manage your plans before and during your visit, and then make your
Disney dining reservations 60-days from your arrival. Just remember to book your
Disney Park Pass – Theme Park Reservations using valid theme park admission as this is the process for visiting the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks at this time.
To book your
Disney Cruise Line sailing, you’ll have the option of different types of staterooms, from inside staterooms to ocean views, to balcony staterooms – the great thing about these staterooms is that many offer the innovative split bath configuration. After selecting your stateroom category, you’ll be asked for the first or second seating for dinner, we like second seating because it gives us more time to explore the ship, participate in activities, enjoy the spa and relax and not rush to get ready for dinner. Don’t forget to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to help you plan and manage your reservation.
What an exciting journey you are about to embark on, Karen, definitely the most magical Disney journey of a lifetime and maybe you will book a sailing on the newest ship, the Disney Wish!
