Disney is running multiple deals right now to desperately get customers to come on property with Epic Universe opening soon at Universal. One of the deals is that if you book a Disney hotel this year than on the day of check-in you get a free water park visit. It would have been Typhon Lagon as of mid May but Disney just announced that their second water park Blizzard Beach will be opened at the same time. This will help control water park crouds while the promotion is going on. The last time both water parks were running at the same time was right before the pandemic.

On Disney Cruise Line the Dinner and show is where the magic really happens. They are unique all you can eat experiences that you can't get anywhere else with fantastic food and supper friendly servers. There are three main restaurants throughout the ship that you will rotate through every night and each ship offers a unique take and different food than another ship with a same name restaurant.

The dinners are served in a early and late shift and it will be the same throughout the cruise. There is no difference in service and if you have the earlier shift there is a Broadway show right after and the late shift has the show before your meal if you choose to go.

You will get the same server every night and as the cruise goes on he or she will learn your preferences and by the last night they will have drinks already on your table based on days previously. He will also come to your table during your meal and do origami and tricks for the kids while you're waiting for the next course to arrive. They serve at every meal, Coke products, twin lings tea, non alcoholic drinks as well as alcoholic beverages. The meal has a bread, a chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert. You may have as mays of each as you like and also meals or items from the other two restaurants as desired when asked for.

Disney also offers a dine and play where if you sign up for the service your children can get there food brought to your table right away and then a cast member will take them once there finished to the kids club until the parent comes to pick them up.

Let's talk about Disney Cruise Line. We have bee on the Disney Dream and will be going on Disney first ship, the Magic this summer. There are a lot of Cruise ship companies out there that are wanting your business but DCL (Disney Cruise Line) is a whole different animal. DCL has itineraries going to Euope, the Bahamas, East and West Caribbean, Alaska, Australia, and soon East Asia and in the future Japan.

DCL is crazy stalker good at the little details of your Cruise. They try to make it as magical as possible for you.
On our last Cruise my daughter wanted to see the harpest on the ship but she only played in adult areas of the ship. We mentioned it to the front desk and the next day they surprised us with her playing in the atrium and she even got to talk to the harpest one on one while she was there.
In another example, we know someone who was there years before and they went on another cruise. They had the late dinning time and the wife wasn't feeling well. They then asked if there was anyway to get in early time for just that night. The staff then told them to wait a second and to there suprise they put them in the same table they dined in the first time on their anniversary with the same layout and everything.

The newer the ships are generally means the bigger the ship and better the theming it tends to be. However, no matter what ship you choose, the core elements tend to stay the same.

1. They don't have a casino in any ship as it is family friendly.
2. Most, except the Wonder, have a water slide.
3. They all have different Broadway caliber stage shows.
