Hi Jennifer!
I'm excited to hear you'll be experiencing my favorite kind of Disney vacation - a
Land and Sea Adventure! Well, technically, yours will be a "Land and Sea and Land Again" Adventure! From
Cinderella Castle to sand castles and back again, you're in for more magical fun than you can imagine.
My family took a similar vacation two years ago. We visited Walt Disney World Resort for one night before sailing away on the
Disney Dream for a four-night cruise. When we returned to dry land, we stayed for two more nights at a Disney Resort hotel. We were able to speak with the Bell Captain before the cruise and make arrangements to store a few bags until our return. They were happy to hold our bags in the luggage storage area for us! It was so nice not to have to carry our "park clothes" with us on the ship. Just make sure to stop by and speak with the Bell Services manager about storing your bags, and I'm sure they'll be glad to help.
I hope you and your family have an amazing Walt Disney World/Disney Cruise Line vacation. You're going to make memories to last a lifetime!
Please come back and visit us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel if you have any more questions before your trip - we're happy to help! - Diane W.
