Ahoy, Katherine!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to hear that you are planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation next year. With so many
ships in the Disney fleet and so many itineraries to choose from, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a sailing that is practically perfect in every way!
Katherine, I'd suggest starting your cruise search by using the
"Find A Cruise" feature on the Disney Cruise Line website. You can filter your search by month of departure, departure port, destinations, cruise length, desired ship, and more! When you have found that perfect cruise, you'll be able to book your three staterooms at one time.
As you're c
hoosing your specific staterooms, you'll be able to select them on the deck plan to ensure that they are close to one another and may even find options available for
two of the rooms to connect with an interior door between them. If you need additional assistance with making your reservation, you can always
call a Disney Cruise Line Cast Member, and they'll be happy to help with any questions or make the reservation for you.
Since you mentioned cruising with little ones, I thought I'd share some of the reasons my family has loved cruising with Disney over the years. My youngest, who just so happens to be 2 years old as well, sailed on his first Disney Cruise Line vacation in January - becoming the newest
Castaway Cay member in our family of five! We were on the
Disney Dream, and one of his favorite places was
Nemo's Reef, a splash pad designed specifically for children 4 years old and under. He also really enjoyed the time he spent in
"it's a small world" nursery! and visiting
Disney's Oceaneer Club during their Open House hours.
Disney also offers items that make
traveling with the youngest Mouseketeers even easier! These items are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and some items, like bedrails and portable cribs, can be requested ahead of your cruise by
noting your special requests under "My Reservations." Other items, like diaper pails and bottle warmers, can be requested once you board.
I hope this information has been helpful, Katherine, and that you and your family enjoy making many magical memories at sea! As you continue to plan your cruise, please remember that you've got a friend in us here at planDisney, and we're always happy to help with additional questions or recommendations in the future!
SEA ya real soon!
