Written by: Erica Ellis – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner; Photos provided by: Kimberly Evans – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner & Erica Ellis – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner Personally, I love a good themed event or party. Do you know who takes theming to a whole other level? Disney, of course. Commitment to a theme isn’t just for the parks. You can set sail aboard Disney Cruise Line during select sailings and enjoy some amazing special themes! These special sailings are limited to certain times of the year and some onboard specific ships.

Written by Kimberly McClintock Evans – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner If I had a nickel for every person who laughed or gave me a double take when I said I went on a Disney Cruise for a week without my kids, I could have paid for the trip! But I am not sure why? When you think about it, Disney Parks are unlike other parks. Disney Hotels are unlike other hotels. Disney movies, well they are some of the highest grossing, most entertaining movies of all times. Companies actually hire Disney Executives and the Disney Institute teaches people “how to be more like Disney.” Disney is one of the strongest brands worldwide that is synonymous with cleanliness, excellence and unparalleled service. Why wouldn’t I want that on my vacation? But without the kids? What about all the kids? What did I do for 7 days on a ship full of kids? The first time I took a cruise my kids were tiny…that was the first place since I had kids where: I ate a full meal from beginning to end. I had a full meal even at the temperature it was intended to be served at!! (Not 3 hours later while my kids are in the tub and I am standing over them eating cold meat.) I didn’t have to do anything but eat and enjoy my family. I didn’t even have to cut meat. If someone spilled a drink, there are two people to come and clean it up within seconds. I didn’t even have to pour ketchup. While that can happen in many places there are differences-my...

Written by Kimberly McClintock Evans – Magical Tripcations Travel Planner Did you know Disney has a private Island for guests aboard Disney Cruise Line on certain sailings? If your itinerary has a day at Castaway Cay, (pronounced “key”) here is everything you need to know for a great day off the ship and a few suggestions and surprises you may not know about. Isn’t she a beauty? Make sure to snap a photo of your Disney Cruise Line ship as your disembark on Castaway Cay First a few facts: The island is only for Disney Cruise Line guests. No other ships or cruise lines will dock here. Only those from your cruise will be docking on that day. Some cruise itineraries include a “double dip” Castaway Cay Stop. Contact one of our amazing Disney Travel Planners for more information on different itineraries. Although Disney Cast Members won’t often tell you, there is a sordid history of the island. Disney has a 99-year lease on the Bahamian Island. Castaway Cay was actually named Gorda Cay, had no beaches, and was a drug smuggler stop in the 70s. While you don’t hear much about it, the landing strip is part of a clue. In my head however, I like to believe it was really a Jack Sparrow stop and if I dig long enough and hard enough I will find some treasure or rum smuggled onto the island. A much better story, I think!Sometimes it’s fun to find the approximately 50 – 60 staff members that actually live on the island and ask them a little about Island life. Top things...

Here are our top 9 Disney Cruise tips. ©Disney # 1 Keep Up with the Navigator The Navigator is a newsletter delivered nightly to your stateroom and contains the listing of the next day’s events. It is your go-to-guide for everything from ship to shore. Carefully review it to plan your excursions, character meet and greets, and to take note of hours of operation, etc. Take it with you when you leave the ship as it contains information such as emergency contact information and when you need to be back on the ship. Before you board the ship, download the Navigator App available for iPhone and Android phones. You will be able to connect to it using the ship’s free WiFi; however, the free WiFi is only available for the Navigator App. The app lists restaurant menus and other helpful information only accessible via the app. ©Disney #2 Dining Part of the fun of cruising is noshing on...
