Disney Cruise

Disney Cruise. That's "Disney" for the kids. "Cruise" for you.

Two birds, one stone. To my mind, that's the whole point of a Disney cruise.

Let's face it: sometimes you want some time away from the kids. And sometimes, believe it or not, your kids want (or need) some time away from you!

Disney Cruise Line has got you covered. There's an abundance of fun for kids of all ages and for families together, so you can choose the mix that's right for you. Check out this tiny sampling of shipboard activities and shore excursions:

I think you'll agree, no one has made quite the science of keeping kids entertained (and safe) as Disney has. But the reason Disney Cruise Line has it all over any Disney theme park is...

..you can actually leave your kids alone for awhile! Which means you can:

• Work out
• Take a dance class
• Get in some golf practice
• Play some bingo or the slot machines
• Swim or spa
• Go fishing, sailing or snorkeling
• Take in a show
• Attend a wine tasting
• Take a walking tour
• Try horseback riding or parasailing
• Have a romantic dinner

And of course, once you've refreshed yourself with some grown-up time, there are only a ton of activities and excursions for you to do as a family. On a Disney cruise, families can:

• learn to do animation drawings together
• dance together
• sing together
• put on a talent show together
• watch movies and attend live shows together

And that's just the beginning. There's themed dining, so you know the kids will eat. There's a nursery where children as young as 12 weeks can be attended by trained Disney counselors. There's full-service laundry and dry cleaning so your vacation doesn't have to feel like a chore.

...only with so much more.

You can cruise the Caribbean big time. Ports of call include The Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and of course, Key West. And don't forget Disney's own private island, Castaway Cay.

When you cruise Disney, the Mexican Riviera and even the Mediterranean are options as well. And cruises range in length from as short as 3 nights to as long as 15.

A Disney Cruise is a gift to your family

Nothing leaves a child with more memories than a family vacation, and no family vacation says, "Our kids are important to us," more than a Disney Cruise. Why not book yours today?
