What’s Included on a Disney Cruise Line Vacation (and Why the Service Keeps Us Coming Back)

Written by Laura J, client

When our kids were little, Disney Cruise Line was the perfect way to enjoy Disney magic without the park hustle — no rushing, no lines, just happy days on deck and character moments everywhere.

Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we still choose Disney Cruise Line for one big reason:  their service, their quality, and everything that’s included.

If you’ve ever wondered what you actually get when you sail with Disney, here’s your insider look at why we keep going back.

Rotational Dining: A Fresh Experience Every Night

Disney’s dining concept is unforgettable. Each night, you rotate through three beautifully themed restaurants — and your same servers come with you, learning your preferences and making dinner feel personalized from day one.


Included with your cruise:

  • Three main dining rooms with table service
  • Casual eateries like Cabanas or Marceline Market
  • Poolside grab-and-go favorites
  • Unlimited soda, coffee & tea
  • 24-hour room service (midnight Mickey bars = happiness)
Optional upgrades: Adults-only dining at Palo or Enchanté — perfect for a romantic night out.

Entertainment That Sets the Standard

Broadway-Caliber Entertainment

No magic mirror required — you’re already watching the best shows at sea!  From live Broadway-style productions (think Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and The Little Mermaid) to movie premieres straight from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, every night feels like opening night.

Plus: First-run films, deck parties, and that unforgettable fireworks at sea moment — all included


Pools, Activities & Character Magic — All Included

Whether you’re cruising with kids or sailing as empty nesters like us, there’s always something to do.


Included onboard fun:

  • Multiple pools and waterslides
  • Adults-only Quiet Cove (one of our favorite spots!)
  • Live music, trivia, crafting, themed events
  • Movies under the stars
  • Character meet-and-greets — always included, never an extra cost

The ship truly offers something for every style of vacation.

Enchanted Spaces for Kids (and Adults Too!)

While the little ones dive into the Oceaneer Club with Jedi training or tea with Anna & Elsa, adults can escape to their own magical realms.


For Kids: Oceaneer Club & Lab, Edge, Vibe
For Adults: Quiet Cove Pool, spa, lounges, and live music
For Families: Character meet & greets, family trivia, game shows, and themed deck parties

And yes — meeting Mickey, Minnie, and Captain Jack Sparrow is included.


Castaway Cay & Lighthouse Point: Disney’s Private Paradise

Many itineraries stop at one — some at both! These island days are absolute highlights.

Castaway Cay Includes:

  • Family & adults-only beaches
  • Lounge chairs, umbrellas & hammocks
  • Snorkeling lagoons & bike paths
  • Kids’ club on the beach
  • Island BBQ lunch & soft drinks

Lighthouse Point Includes:

  • Vibrant Bahamian-inspired design
  • Gorgeous beaches and calm turquoise waters
  • Play areas for families & kids
  • Nature trails and shady spots
  • Island BBQ lunch & beverages
Just step off the ship and enjoy — everything is taken care of.

The Disney Difference: Service That Truly Shines

From your stateroom host who refreshes your room twice daily to the dining teams who know your drink before you do, Disney’s service is what keeps us coming back.

It’s warm, personal, and truly makes you feel cared for — the kind of service that earns every bit of the phrase:  “Be their guest, put their service to the test.”

Ready to Experience It for Yourself?

Whether you’re planning a family adventure or a relaxing empty-nester getaway, Disney Cruise Line delivers magic in every detail — with so much included. Contact us today to plan your next Disney Cruise.
