Ahoy Doree!
Welcome to the Moms Panel! Experiencing the magic and wonder of a Disney Cruise through the eyes of your sweet granddaughter will be a vacation you will never forget! My daughter was four on our first sailing, and I have the fondest memories of her prancing around the ship in her princess attire, posing with all her favorite characters and sliding down the Mickey slide! All four ships offer fun for Guests of all ages so the two of you will have many magical memories of your cruise vacation! If she is a princess fan, I do recommend checking out the newest addition to Disney fleet, the
Disney Fantasy. The Fantasy is home to the only Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at sea which offers pixie dusted fairytale makeovers to Guests between the ages of 3 and 12. Also, on the day of the pirate festivities (Mickey's Pirates IN the Caribbean Night) the boutique transforms into the Pirates League! Guests of all ages can reserve a time to be transformed into a buccaneer for all the fun!
While your little cruiser is checked in to the Oceaneer Club and Lab (youth programming from 3 to 12), there will be plenty for you to experience no matter which ship you select including the adult-only pool area, the spa and salon, the entertainment district, beverage tastings, the Art of Entertaining Series, and other cruise staff activities planned for each sailing! You can be as busy as you'd like to be while your granddaughter is off having an absolute blast!
My advice is to have a look at the
Disney Cruise Line website to see which dates and home ports work best for you. Everything else will fall into place!
Thank you for stopping by with your question, please let me know if I can assist you further!
