    I am looking to plan a Disney Cruise for a family of eight three adults and five kids .

    Ahoy, Monnica! Welcome aboard planDisney! Let’s chart a course straight to your answer.  

    It sounds like you are headed for Adventure, and I cannot help but Wonder if you Dream about a Fantasy that is sure to be filled with Magic as you Wish upon a star. You will be making memories you will Treasure like it is your Destiny. You may have noticed I just mentioned every ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, which means you have plenty of options when planning your perfect sailing!

    Most staterooms sleep up to four Guests, and most suites can accommodate up to seven sailors. However, there are a few ships with a very special space that fits your whole crew in one incredible suite. The Disney Wish, Treasure, and Destiny each offer the Concierge Tower Suite, which sleeps eight.

    Another great option is to book two staterooms that are side by side or connecting. You can open the door between them to create a larger, shared space for your family. When booking on the Disney Cruise Line website, you will be able to see which rooms connect, and when you select the number of staterooms, you can toggle on the connecting room option.

    If you prefer extra help, you can always call the amazing Cast Members at Disney Cruise Line. They love helping Guests find the perfect sailing and room setup for their dream vacation.

    When you get your cruise booked, make sure to schedule a Character Call for your kiddos! It's a fabulous way to get everyone excited for your sailing! A Character Call is a complimentary, pre-recorded phone call from select Disney characters wishing you happiness on your sailing. After you’ve booked your cruise, visit My Reservations under My Disney Cruise and select “Request Call” beside the Free Character Call header. This link will take you to a site where you can choose a Disney character, enter your phone number, and schedule your call!

    Monnica, I hope this helps you get started as you plan your family’s adventure on the high seas. Come back anytime you have more questions, and thank you for cruising by with this great question!

    “Sea” you real soon!
