Ahoy, Jennifer - thanks for visiting the Moms Panel!
The staterooms on the Disney ships were designed with families in mind. From the sleeping spaces to the super-helpful split baths, you'll find that Disney Cruise Line has done everything possible to ensure the comfort of their guests.
In a
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom on the
Disney Dream, there's room for five guests to sleep comfortably. These rooms feature a queen-size bed, a single convertible sofa, a pull-down Murphy bed and also an upper-berth pull-down bed (over the sofa). My kids like to each have a bed to themselves, and it's so nice for everyone to have their own sleeping space on a Disney Cruise.
As for the Queen bed, I can't say enough about how comfortable the bedding is. I am not exaggerating when I say it's like sleeping on a cloud. If they sold the bedding in the ship's stores, I would come home with a set, for sure!
I hope this helps answer your question about sleeping arrangements for a family of five. Please come back and visit if you have any more questions as you plan your Disney Cruise Line vacation! - Diane W.
