Welcome aboard, Angie! It sounds like you're getting ready to set sail on your first Disney cruise! We have magical vacations every single time we sail with Captain Mickey, but that very first cruise is always the most wonderful as everything is new and even more magical than you can possibly imagine!
One of my favorite things about sailing with Disney is that there is such
value included in the cost of your cruise! All of the meals are included, and you'll rotate through the three main restaurants with the same service team each night. Before or after dinner, you'll be treated to a fabulous Broadway-style musical show in the Walt Disney Theatre, again, included in the cost of your cruise! Plus, there are endless options for entertainment, activities and other fun events from sun up to way past sun down each day. You will not be bored! All of these things are included in the cost of your cruise!
A few extras you may want to consider are Spa Treatments, Adult Exclusive Dining, and Port Adventures, all of which require reservations and do carry an additional fee. My husband and I never miss an opportunity to dine at Palo, one of the adults only restaurants onboard. I highly recommend it! Disney has also partnered with amazing tour operators in each port of call, and their Port Adventures give guests special access to the most fabulous sights and experiences, so be sure to check those out too! And spa treatments are top notch on their ships. I loved my massage onboard, and also enjoy spending time in the Rainforest Room in the spa with a day pass. My daughter even enjoyed a special Ice Cream Manicure! What a treat! There's so much to explore, Angie. Check out this video series about the
