Hi there, Maria!
What a special cruise you have coming up this holiday SEAson! The most magical time of the year on the most magical cruise line on the high seas sounds like the perfect way to celebrate Christmas with your crew. The ship will be dazzling with the gorgeous holiday décor, the characters will be in their festive attire, and Santa & Mrs. Claus will be there to make sure everyone is on their best behavior! It will be a vacation filled with pixie dust on the
Disney Magic.
Maria, if you'd like to add a
pre-cruise stay to your cruise reservation, Disney Cruise Line partners with the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. This hotel is conveniently located between the B and C Terminals via the underground tram. On embarkation day, you can take Disney Cruise Line's
ground transportation from the airport to the Port of Galveston. The motor coaches begin running at 9:15 am. To book your stay and purchase ground transfers, please call
Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532. The agents are available Monday-Friday, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Flying in a day early and arranging for Disney Cruise Line to transport your crew will be a seamless way to go from land to sea!
Your
Very Merrytime Cruise will be sprinkled with magic, Maria. Have the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app downloaded ahead of time so you can "heart" your holiday to-do list once you get connected at the port or onboard. All regularly scheduled programming, plus the Christmas fun, will be listed for each day. One of my favorite holiday traditions is pictures in matching or coordinating Christmas PJs. The Lobby Atrium's three-deck-tall Christmas tree and Gingerbread House always make the perfect backdrops for these!
It was great hearing from you, Maria. We'd love to help again if you think of anything else before your magical Merrytime on the Disney Magic!
