Image item1. PLAN AHEAD
Starting with a Living With The Magic Vacations travel advisor is a great way to be prepared and we all know preparation is key when traveling with children. When recommending the perfect destination, we consider family-friendly activities, attractions, and amenities. We’ll also discuss other important aspects of your trip, such as transportation and accommodation, and ensure they are suitable for your little ones.

2. PACK WISELY
When it comes to packing for your family getaway, efficiency is essential. Pack essentials like medication, extra clothes, snacks, and entertainment (books, games, tablets) to keep your children comfortable and occupied during the journey. Don’t forget to bring comfort items that help your child feel at ease, like a favorite stuffed animal or a cozy blanket. We’ll even send you packing lists prior to your trip!

3. STICK TO A ROUTINE
While traveling, it’s helpful to maintain some semblance of a routine to ensure your children stay well-rested and happy. Try to stick to regular meal times and bedtime routines as much as possible. This will provide a familiar structure and help minimize any disruptions to your child’s daily routines.

4. BE FLEXIBLE
Traveling with children requires flexibility, as unexpected situations may arise. Embrace the spontaneity and go with the flow. Allow for extra time, be patient, and adjust your plans accordingly. Remember, traveling with kids can result in delightful surprises and unforgettable moments.

5. INVOLVE THE KIDS
Make your children feel included and engaged in the travel experience. Encourage them to help with planning activities or choosing restaurants. Let them have a say in what they would like to do or see. This will empower them and make them feel excited and invested in the family adventure.

Delight in Disney’s Island Destinations

In early 2025, the Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Dream and Disney Magic will all offer an assortment of three- to five-night getaways from Florida to Disney Cruise Line’s Bahamian destinations – the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and the beloved Disney Castaway Cay. The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, while the Disney Dream and Disney Magic will voyage from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Aboard all four ships, guests will have the opportunity to experience one of the Disney island destinations, with each ship also offering at least one special itinerary that will sail to both Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Disney Castaway Cay.

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney’s celebration of The Bahamas and its newest, one-of-a-kind island retreat located on the island of Eleuthera, will welcome families with breathtaking natural beauty combined with the magic of Bahamian storytelling and artistry. Purposefully designed to be a unique fusion of Bahamian culture and Disney experiences, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will feature Bahamian art and music paired with signature Disney entertainment, sweeping architecture inspired by Bahamian natural wonders brought to life by Disney Imagineers and opportunities to explore Eleuthera through unique port adventures.

Meanwhile Disney Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island paradise in The Bahamas, will continue to provide guests of all ages with relaxation and adventure amidst its turquoise waters and lush landscapes. The whimsical tropical hideaway provides a hassle-free experience for a fun and relaxing beach day coupled with a picture-perfect setting with distinctly Disney touches.

The Disney Treasure’s Inaugural Season

Following its maiden voyage on Dec. 21, 2024, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Treasure, will embark on an inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral. Eastern Caribbean sailings will take families to the beautiful island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Disney Castaway Cay and either San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas, while Western Caribbean sailings will bring families to destinations such as Falmouth in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. The week-long voyages will offer at least two days at sea, giving families more time to enjoy the unique spaces, immersive dining and world-class entertainment onboard the Disney Treasure.

Pacific Voyages Aboard the Disney Wonder

The Disney Wonder will conclude its second season in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025 with a special 15-night South Pacific cruise from Sydney, Australia, to Honolulu, Hawaii. Its return to North America will feature two more special sailings: a nine-night Hawaiian Island cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver, Canada in late February, followed by a five-night cruise from Vancouver to San Diego, California, in early March. From San Diego, the Disney Wonder will take guests on three- to seven-night adventures to the Mexican Riviera or the Baja Peninsula.

Adventures from Texas on the Disney Magic

Before homeporting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Disney Magic will also offer the opportunity to visit Mexico on a Disney Cruise Line vacation. For the first three months of 2025, the Disney Magic will sail to Progreso and Cozumel in Mexico and Grand Cayman from Galveston, Texas. In April, the ship will set sail on a special seven-night cruise from the Lone Star State to San Juan, Puerto Rico that will stop at both of Disney’s island destinations, before returning to the Sunshine State  for a series of three- to four-night sailings from Fort Lauderdale, followed by four- and five-night sailings from Port Canaveral to Nassau and at least one of Disney’s island destinations in The Bahamas.

Things I wish I knew before a cruise

Things I wish I knew before a cruise

Things I wish I knew before a cruise

 

Many people plan their cruise out a while in advance taking into consideration destination, ports of call, itinerary and time of year- rightfully so! When I took my very first cruise, we didn’t consider anything- we said, it’s a great price, it’s Disney, it’s soon, let’s do it! While my Disney cruise was AMAZING and I enjoyed every single bit of it, I do wish I had more time to prepare and know more about what Disney Cruises have to offer. Here are some of the things I wish I knew before our cruise on the Disney Dream.

DCL Navigator App

When we first got onto the ship, we were completely lost! While in a sense, it was nice because we looked at everything with a sense of wonder and exploring a ship was a great experience, we did feel like we lost valuable time on a short 3 day trip. The navigator app is an amazing tool that allows you to look at the schedule of events and locations onboard the ship for your entire stay. You can see which events are scheduled or available for different age groups. This is where I was able to find a toddler activity every morning for my daughter and some arts and crafts activities during the day. We were lucky enough to make it to those on the last day of the cruise. This is where we were also able to find our dinner time and location since you are scheduled to go to a different restaurant each evening. Another great thing we were able to look up on the app were the times the characters were going to be out and where! We were also able to see which movies were playing on the pool deck. I felt like such a pro and was ready for more by later in our second day. I only wish I had more time! As I look to our next cruise, I know exactly what to prepare for, what to look for and how to use the navigator app. It is such a wonderful tool for the things I listed and so much more!

Know more about the ship

There is so much information and blogs out there about cruises, I know I would have used some resources to get a little more acquainted with the layout of the ship and where things are in order to not feel so lost on the ship. On our first day, we did get lost a few times before finding our restaurant for dinner (which we arrived late to because we weren’t familiar with the Navigator app!). Don’t get me wrong, after the first day and exploring the ship and getting familiar with using the app, it’s very easy to make your way through the ship. Not to mention the cast members who go above and beyond making you feel right at home and are readily available for any questions or directions you may need! 

Choosing an earlier boarding time

When you complete online check-in ahead of time (highly recommended!), you are able to choose a boarding time. When I checked in, we had a variety of times available to choose from. When faced with this decision, we easily decided on a later boarding time to give us time to arrive at the port since we were driving into Port Canaveral from Miami. By choosing a later time, we realized we wasted time that could have easily been enjoyed onboard. By the time we boarded, people were already enjoying themselves in the pool and having lunch, which we missed due to late boarding time! Even if you’re flying in, it’s highly recommended to fly in the night before, so if you have a choice of when to board, make it earlier so you enjoy the ship sooner!

In retrospect, I do think having a travel advisor would have been very beneficial for something like a cruise where there is so much to do. I know I could have done the work myself, but I would have been much more comfortable talking to someone who is an expert on cruises and everything they have to offer.  I would have been much more prepared and could have enjoyed the cruise right off the bat!  Now that I’m a professional travel advisor, specializing in Disney destinations, I learn as much as I can so that my clients can avoid the mistakes I made! I can’t wait until our next cruise!

Hello! My name is Vianey and I am a Travel Planner with Living With The Magic Vacations! Disney magic has always had a special place in my heart. From simply watching the movies as a little girl, to Disneyland trips any time we visited family in Southern California. The magic has carried over into my adult life when I first visited Disney World in 2015. Since then, I have gone back year after year for different purposes- honeymoon, weekend getaways, runDisney events, family trips, a bachelorette and now I get to share the magic with trips to Disney World with my 2 year old daughter. Each trip has been unique and unlocked many special “core memories” that I will cherish forever. I’ve experienced Disney through many lenses and I’m so excited to help you plan your own trip, whatever the purpose may be!

Why are cruises the best vacation?

Why are cruises the best vacation?

Why are cruises the best vacation?

Trying to decide whether a cruise is your next vacation? Here are my top 5 reasons why your next vacation should be on board a cruise ship! 

  1. To unplug from social media and the internet. Sometimes screen time can go unnoticed because we are so used to it in our daily life. While on a cruise you’re more likely to step away from phones, TVs or computers. This feels amazing to disconnect and be present. 
  2. Endless ocean views. The sounds and essence of the ocean is something that is truly remarkable. What’s better than waking up to amazing ocean views and relaxing at night to the sunset above the ocean. You never know you may catch a glimpse of sea life. 
  3. Shore excursions. Nothing is better than waking up multiple times in a week or a couple days in a new city. While you are in these new cities you have the opportunity to explore excursions. These activities can be from hiking to water sports and shopping to so much more. Each new destination has something new and great to offer. 
  4. Exploring Multiple New Cities on a Budget. Can’t decide on a destination to pick? Cruising allows you to visit multiple destinations in one vacation. Which makes it a cost-effective way to visit multiple cities!
  5.  Great for the Whole Family. There are so many onboard activities as well as entertainment for every age. There are also many food and drink options that will be sure to satisfy everyone’s palate. Enjoying new cities as a family and really being immersed in a new culture is a great way to bond and make memories.

     

    There are many more reasons why cruises are an amazing vacation. Best of all it’s a great way to experience new adventures and make the best memories!
