    I’m planning a magical family trip to Disney for Dec25 with my husband and our 5y daughter. We’re dreaming of a princess-filled experience and some snow magic,and would love to include the Disney Wish cruise.Any tips to help us secure a cruise reservation?

    Hi there, Paty!

    A land and sea vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort and aboard the Disney Cruise Line sounds magical indeed! My family and I are currently planning something similar for our big family vacation to Florida next year. We can't wait!

    Admittedly, there may be some nuances to booking international travel involving a cruise that departs from a country other than your country of residence. You can certainly use the Disney Cruise Line Find a Cruise site to search for your dream cruise. Once you have identified an itinerary that should work for you, I recommend sending an email message to the Disney Cruise Line or calling the phone number listed for "Any Countries Not Listed" for support booking your cruise vacation in a way that works well with your Walt Disney World Resort stay. I also recommend contacting a trusted travel agent in your local area who can help advise you on the procedures, visas, and travel documents necessary for your travel to multiple countries as is typical with a cruise vacation.

    Since you mentioned princesses and snow magic, I assume you are dreaming of an invitation to the celebration of the royal engagement between Queen Anna and Kristoff in Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure. It is a truly magical experience, including special appearances by Elsa and Olaf. For now, this Frozen Dining Adventure is available only on the Disney Wish. Other Frozen-themed experiences aboard the Disney Cruise Line may include Frozen, A Musical Spectacular, available on the Disney Wonder and Disney Fantasy. That show will also be featured on the Disney Destiny when that ship embarks on its inaugural season starting this November.

    Tony's Tip: When using the Find a Cruise page, you can set multiple filters to zero in on the perfect Disney Cruise itinerary for you and your family. For a land and sea vacation that includes a stay at the Walt Disney World Resort, I recommend sailing out of Port Canaveral. That would allow you to book ground transportation through Disney for optimal travel convenience. Though, the Port Everglades terminal in Fort Lauderdale is also relatively accessible with some additional effort and planning. If you are hoping for an itinerary aboard the Disney Wish on or close to December 25, 2025, I recommend the 4-Night Very Merrytime Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral embarking on December 22, or the 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral embarking on December 26. My family's second Disney Cruise was a Very Merrytime Cruise. It was one of our favorite family vacations of all time!

    Good luck with your bookings, Paty. Once you have reservations in place, we'd love to hear from you again here at planDisney. It's our pleasure to help answer any planning questions you may have. Our desire is to help you have the most magical vacation possible.

    Bon voyage, Paty!
