Hello, Janet! Ahoy and welcome to planDisney. Thanks for cruising our way with your vacation question.
What's better than going on a Disney Cruise? Pairing a Disney Cruise with some time in a Disney Theme Park, of course! It's a great idea to visit
Walt Disney World and then set sail for an adventure out of
Port Canaveral. You can choose if you'd like to do the land or the sea portion of your vacation first. My pal Andrew likes to visit Disney World first, and then follow it with a relaxing Disney Cruise. But I think it's a lot more fun to disembark from a Disney Cruise when you know that a visit to Walt Disney World is on the other side of the gangway. Whichever you choose, you will have a great time!
In order to book your
land and sea vacation package, you have a couple of options. You can go ahead and take care of booking your cruise reservation online, and then
call a Vacation Planning Specialist at Disney Cruise Line to have them add a resort stay at Walt Disney World to your booking. They can also arrange for
ground transportation between your resort and the cruise port for a seamless vacation experience. Alternatively, you can have the Vacation Planning Specialist book every aspect of the vacation over the phone. It's up to you how much assistance you would like.
Once you've secured your cruise booking, the next step is planning for any
Port Adventures or
Onboard Experiences you'd like to add to your sailing. If this is your first Disney Cruise, you will be able to reserve Port Adventures,
Senses Spa & Salon treatments,
adult-exclusive dining reservations, and more 75 days in advance of your sailing. If you are a returning guest of Disney Cruise Line, your
advance booking window depends on your Castaway Club member status.
