    Hi my name is shawntessa I have a family of 7 I’m trying to plan a vacation in July 2027 for my family

    Hiya, Shawntessa!

    Oh boy! A big family vacation on the Disney Cruise Line is my kind of fun. You are going to love it.

    The first step for planning your Disney Cruise Line vacation is to visit the Find a Cruise page. There are multiple filters available to narrow the set of available cruises to the best possible match for you. In your case, I would start with something like selecting the "Leaving" date to July 2027. If there is a particular type of itinerary that interests you I recommend selecting that in the "Sailing to" filter. For July cruises, I'm partial to the Alaska Cruises. But you can't go wrong with any of the itineraries. Next, I suggest entering the number of Guests in your party, the ages of the children, and the number of staterooms you expect to need. Staterooms generally accommodate about three to five passengers, with four being a common capacity. You can book up to four staterooms using the Find a Cruise page online. Once the filters are in place, use the "View Dates" button to search for matches.

    I love going on Disney cruises with my large family. We usually book two staterooms for our family of six. There are lots of ways to combine stateroom options to suit your needs. For example, when we wanted to save on our cruise (so we can cruise more often!) we booked two inside staterooms that are connecting. On our first cruise to Alaska, we booked two Oceanview staterooms, one on each side of the ship. That way we were sure to always have a room with a view of the amazing scenery around the ship. We have also sometimes booked both an inside stateroom and an Oceanview stateroom across the hall on the same deck. We love the unique split bathrooms in deluxe staterooms on the Disney Cruise Line. They are great for large parties like ours because it's almost as if you have four bathrooms to share. It sure makes getting ready for dinner quick and easy.

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Shawntessa. We love to help fellow Guests like you however we can. Please feel free to visit again with any additional questions you may have.

    Have a magical cruise, Shawntessa!
