Welcome aboard, Melissa!
Thanks for asking about ways to personalize your
Disney Cruise Line vacation as a package with flights and hotels before or after your fabulous cruise. There are many options for putting your vacations plans together, so I’m happy to share some guidance.
My family typically purchases our flights and makes any pre- or post-cruise plans independently from our Disney Cruise Line reservation. If you choose to do so, the only time Disney needs this information is during
Online Check-In or if you purchase
ground transportation service from a nearby partner hotel or airport.
If you’d like support in planning more of a package, there are options for flights through the
Disney Cruise Line Air Program. Please see the details of that offer here, and you may make arrangements with Disney Cruise Line directly by calling (800) 951-3532.
Similarly, you may plan to
stay in a hotel that partners with Disney for a pre- or post-cruise stay. These hotels are available in various departure ports and may easily connect you to your port through ground transportation options (purchased separately). Please see the
affiliated hotels on the bottom of each departure port page with details. As with the air program, you can
call Disney directly to speak with an expert who will guide you through the available options and pricing.
I hope these different ways to customize your vacation experience have you dreaming of an exciting Disney Cruise Line vacation, Melissa! Once you have the structure in place with your cruise reservation, flight, and hotel plans set, please come back and see us for more advice on how to make the most of your cruise! Our planDisney team can share our experiences both onboard and in ports and answer any questions you have in order to finalize every Disney detail.
Wishing you a magical cruise,
Amy
