Ahoy Nicole –
Land and Sea Vacations are the hot topic of the day! I am so happy to help you with planning a magical vacation for your family. Where to start depends on how much planning you are willing to do on your own versus allowing Disney (or travel agents) to plan for you. For those who would like Disney to handle all of the aspects of their trip, then the simplest option is to visit with Disney Cruise Line by calling
(800) 951-3532. Wonderful cast members will be happy to help you step-by-step with choosing a Walt Disney World Resort, purchasing theme park tickets, meal plans, transportation to the cruise terminal, and choosing your ship and stateroom. They will even set up airfare and trip insurance for you and provide one price for everything. There is no fee associated with this service and your vacation will be seamlessly planned from beginning to end. Other guests choose to plan everything themselves, and if this is the case with your family, then you should start online. At the
Walt Disney World and
Disney Cruise Line websites, guests can browse the different options for hotels, ships, staterooms and build their own trips using the website. You will have separate payment options if you go this route. Another choice is to use a travel agent to either plan everything for you or guide you through the process. Travel agents do not charge a fee for their services. Nicole, I hope this helps to get you started, and remember if you need more help please come to visit with us again at the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
