The Autistic World of Disney

Disney Cruise Line goes the extra ten miles with detail, like no one else on Earth. If you've ever cruised with DCL then you'll know what I mean. For those sitting on the fence about cruising, here is just a little glimpse of the glory and splendour that awaits. Disney Cruise Line has four ships in the fleet....so far :)  In chronological order they began with the Disney Magic (1998) the Disney Wonder (1999), the Disney Dream (2011) and the Disney Fantasy (2012). The ships are elegantly appointed and resemble the early ocean liners of the 1920's, and are touched with Disney influences throughout. For the most part, the accommodations and amenities are similar, with the entertainment differing just slightly. All ships are staffed by the friendliest Cast Members, providing exemplary service and guess what? The guestrooms are twenty-five percent larger than the cruise industry standard and Disney Cruise Line is the first in the industry to offer the split bath conf...

Being part of one of the categories is based on the number of times y...

Sailing with Disney Cruise Line? You're in for the cruise of your life! Bring your entire family and you'll make  memories that last forever. Disney caters to people of all ages and all walks of life.    I guarantee you that once you sail with Disney Cruise Line, you'll be back! Even at the end of each cruise, I've never in my life seen so many sad faces and I'm not just talking about children. That sign they post that says, "See you real soon" gets me and a lot of others right to the core and the lump in my throat becomes huge and I don't even care who sees me blubbering, because I don't want to get off the ship....period!  Oh, the sadness...... Here's what I discovered that makes disembarkation a little easier. I re-book. As soon as I board, my first call is to Guest Services to inquire about the Future Cruise Booking Desk hours. I am the first one there when it does, with my latte from Cove Cafe and I'm ready t...
