Hi there, Rachel!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so glad you found us while planning for your upcoming Disney Cruise Line vacation! Planning ahead and budgeting for it will be well worth it and I can guarantee that your family will have an incredible trip making memories that won’t be forgotten!
In my opinion, one of the BEST things about a Disney Cruise Line vacation is that
so much is already included with your reservation – food (more than you will be able to handle!), entertainment (some of the most incredible shows I have seen have been onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship), activities (more than you will be able to schedule in a day) and SO MUCH MORE!! And this also goes for
Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay – another one of my favorite things about a Disney Cruise Line vacation! Crystal-clear waters, soft, sandy beaches and fun activities – and these are also included for you at no cost! There are activities that you can choose to reserve and the prices for these activities varies based on activity and age of participant. But, you can also just choose to spend the day at the beach without any extras! Quite honestly, my family always does exactly that – we grab complimentary lounge chairs and simply enjoy the beautiful beach and scheduled activities! When lunchtime comes, we enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch and then spend a leisurely afternoon on the beach until it’s time to head back to the ship!
As you continue planning for your vacation, please come back with any additional questions you may have. I am so excited for you and your family to experience all a Disney Cruise Line vacation has to offer!
Happy Planning!
