Hi Nancy!
So happy to have you onboard here at planDisney! Crafting a
land and sea adventure is a surefire way to have the most epic vacation. A Walt Disney World trip with a Disney cruise is the best of both worlds, combining theme park fun and seafaring destinations in a single vacation! Where do I sign up?
The best way for you to make a land and sea vacation a reality is to
call Disney Cruise Line and talk to a Vacation Planning Specialist, who can assist you with both components. Looks like you are considering
April 2022 for your travels. My presumption is that you are probably aiming for one of the 3 or 4 night cruises from
Port Canaveral on the
Disney Dream....great choice!
Since you are considering April for your vacation, go ahead and check the particular dates that work for you using the Disney Cruise Line website, including your desired stateroom(s), and what you'd like to do while at sea and in those amazing ports. My favorite port on those itineraries is
Castaway Cay, which has some phenomenal excursions and plenty of activities for the whole family.
A planDisney tip: if it works with your schedule, book your Walt Disney World portion first and the Disney cruise last. I much prefer the theme parks in the beginning of the vacation so that once the cruise begins, it can be as active or as chill as we like.
While we are talking about planning tips, be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and the
My Disney Experience app. They are the best tools for staying on top of all the details of your land and sea vacation. For the seafaring part of your trip, the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will show all the activities and entertainment onboard, dinner menus, deck parties, showtimes, and much more. As for the Most Magical Place on Earth, the My Disney Experience app organizes all your reservations, enables you to join a virtual queue for attractions like
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, places
mobile food orders, and much more!
Once you have all the apps in hand and your land-sea reservations, enjoy every moment of your family time together. Wishing you a DREAM vacation from start to finish!
