The Staterooms on Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line is at the top of Conde Nast's list of the best Cruise Line and it's no Wonder! Or, Dream! Or, Fantasy! Or, Magic! The simple truth, is that Disney Cruise Line is unparalleled, period.

We've sailed on eight Disney cruises with the ninth booked for next July 2014 on the re-imagined Disney Magic for a Mediterranean cruise. We are proud Gold Castaway Club members and I'll tell you, I won't even look at another cruise line, they won't work for my family, it's only Disney for us!



With a variety of staterooms to please every budget, Disney Cruise Line is the first in the industry to offer the split bath, staterooms which are twenty-five percent larger, and most have verandahs and oceanviews. If an inside stateroom is for you, and you are worried about not having windows, wait until you see what Disney Imagineers have done about that. In every inside stateroom aboard the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, you'll find a large porthole screen which actually plays a live action feed from all around the ship. That's right, you get to see what's happening as you sail, with the odd character popping up, for good fun! These special windows are called, the Magical Portholes.

The oceanview staterooms have comparable interior square footage to the verandah staterooms. The oceanview staterooms boast large porthole type windows.

The oceanview stateroom above, look at the size of the window. These have the split bath configuration as well.

 
The verandah staterooms offer the same luxuries as the oceanview, with the added verandah which contains two armchairs and small table. Some enclosed verandah's offer bench style seating, and a bit of an obstructed view, depending on the ship.

Disney Cruise Line takes excellent care of guests requiring accessible staterooms.

 
 
The verandah stateroom in concierge has few more appointments as well as the benefits of the concierge level.

The larger suite concierge staterooms are ideal for larger groups of families.

A great tip offered to me by a friend, was that the verandah's on the aft of the ship are larger. Maybe that's enough for me to consider an aft verandah stateroom. As you can see, these staterooms offer beautiful appointments, luxury and convenience regardless of category, allowing all people with varying budgets to enjoy the Disney Cruise Line experience.
 
 
Ahoy!

  1. Disney Cruise Line is the only way to sail!!! The rooms are beautiful, and the service is tremendous! An adult pool, a family pool, and a kids pool! So many shows you won't know what to do first. Free cokes, free ice cream, and pizza any time you want. I'm hooked on DCL!!!

    Great post, Jackie!

Dumbo and Timothy Mouse

"The characters Dumbo and Timothy Mouse on the Disney Fantasy’s stern weigh in at more than 2,300 pounds. Dumbo is a little over eight feet long from head to tail with an “ear span” of seven feet. Timothy Mouse sits 2’6″ tall on Dumbo’s hat and is holding a paint brush that’s about 3’10″ long. Dumbo was sculpted from large foam blocks by Walt Disney Imagineering artists in Glendale, California. The sculpted pieces were then shipped to Florida where Disney craftsmen and artists created him in fiberglass and paint over a frame of marine-grade stainless steel. The duo was installed in Papenburg, Germany." (Source: DCLNews.com)

Navigating Disney Cruise Line with Special Needs Family Members

Many people find trip preparation and planning daunting at best and that's understandable. Factor in travelling with a special needs family member and the planning takes on another dimension.
