Ahoy, Laura! As a mom of two boys, I am so excited for your upcoming time aboard the
Disney Magic! Nothing beats time with your sons on the most magical ship at sea. And Galveston is such a picturesque island, you will enjoy fantastic views before your ship sets sail.
Disney Cruise Line recommends two hotels for cruises departing from
Galveston: the Hilton Galveston Island Resort and the San Luis Resort & Conference Center. If you book a
pre- or post-cruise hotel stay through Disney, you can add
transportation between the hotel and port. I love the convenience of arranging everything through Disney. I know once I arrive, I can instantly go into Cruise Control Mode and, like Elsa,
let it go! You can call Disney Cruise Line to add the hotel stay and ground transportation to your reservation. They can help with all the arrangements. Hakuna Matata!
When I have a cruise on the horizon, I mark my calendar for the date I can start booking
Port Adventures and
onboard activities. It looks like your
booking window is in the midst of the holiday season. Adding it to your calendar may help prevent this date from slipping your mind during a busy time of year.
Laura, I hope you have the most magical time with your sons on your adventure beyond the reef. If you have any other questions, please cruise back by
planDisney. We're all aboard to help!
SEAS the Adventure!
