Adventure is Out There with a Disney Land & Sea Vacation!

By Magic Maker® Melissa Ludwig

Are you ready to experience the ultimate Disney Destination Getaway? Then you are ready for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation! When most people are getting ready to plan a Disney Vacation, they choose one destination, such as Walt Disney World® Resort, or a Disney Cruise Line getaway. Why not combine them for the supreme in relaxation and fun?

Here are some of the options that you could consider for a Disney Land & Sea Vacation:

–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 3, 4 or 5-night Bahamian Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Walt Disney World® Resort and a 5-night Western Caribbean Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Disneyland® Resort and a 2 or 3-night Weekend Getaway Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Disneyland® Resort and a 5-night West Coast Disney Cruise Line vacation
–Adventures by Disney® cruise vacation packages, including destinations such as The Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, London, Copenhagen, and Barcelona.

…And more! The possibilities are numerous and there is a Disney Land & Sea Vacation to fit a wide range of budgets.

Last year, my husband and I chose a Disney Land & Sea Vacation for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect selection. I had wanted to go to Walt Disney World® Resort, and he was hoping to try a cruise, as he had never been on one before. So, we hopped on a plane to Orlando, spent two full days at Walt Disney World® Resort, transferred from Orlando to Port Canaveral on a Disney Cruise Line charter bus, and then enjoyed a 3-night Bahamian cruise including port stops at Nassau (home of one of the Atlantis Resorts) and Disney Destination’s own Castaway Cay. We could not have had a better time…we each got what we wanted from our honeymoon, and created countless memories to last a lifetime.

So, if you are struggling to figure out a vacation to suit the whole family, look no further than a Disney Land & Sea Vacation, which will truly offer something for everyone. With pre-and post-cruise add-ons, the options are more flexible than ever, and your Magic Maker® is here for you every step of the way to help make this the vacation of a lifetime.

‘Going Green’ at Sea Aboard Disney Cruise Line®

Mechanics of Disney MagicProtecting the environment has always been a rich part of Disney’s history. From Walt’s earliest nature movies to the dedication of nearly one-third of Walt Disney World® Resort property as a wildlife conservation area, these core beliefs from the past carry on today.

In celebration of Earth Week, today we are taking a look at Disney Cruise Line® and their commitment to minimize impact on the environment through their everyday operation. Through the help of some state-of-the-art technology and dedication from Crew members, they are achieving their goals at being Environmental Stewards.

Here is a look at some of their current environmental initiatives:

  • Disney Cruise Line® ships feature an innovative, low-resistance, 100% non-toxic hull coating that reduces drag and increases fuel efficiency. Improved hydrodynamics are also used to maximize fuel efficiency
  • Smart technology is used to self-adjust temperatures and lighting throughout the ship. Use of highly efficient insulation and heat reflective paint has reduced the need for heating, ventilation, and cooling systems by 25%
  • During construction and refurbishments, lighter building materials are used when available, such as fiber optic cables in place of traditional copper cabling
  • Even the elevators guests use daily on board are magical – state-of-the-art gearless elevators use hoisting technology that is 40% more efficient than standard elevators
  • During the Broadway-style shows inside the Walt Disney Theatre, overhead winch motors that are used to raise and lower scenery for the shows generate electricity during the lowering process which is fed back into the ship’s power grid
  • LED lighting is used extensively throughout the ships.
  • Captains utilize special route optimization software to help select the safest and most energy-efficient route
  • Through their waste minimization plans, Crew members eliminate more than 405 tons of metals, glass, plastic and paper from traditional waste streams each year

These are just a few of the ways Disney Cruise Line® makes your “floating home at sea” a little more environmentally friendly!

‘Double Your Fun’ at Disney’s Castaway Cay Island in 2014

Disney Wonder at Castaway CayAnyone who has ever stepped foot onto the powdery white sand beaches of Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, would likely describe it with one word – PARADISE! Consistently voted a favorite among Disney Cruise Line® guests, Castaway Cay is located in the tropical waters of the Bahamas and is used exclusively by Disney Cruise Line®.

Many of Disney Cruise Line’s® Caribbean and Bahamian sailings from Port Canaveral pay a visit to the magical shores of Castaway Cay. One of the most often heard comments we receive from our guests after sailing Disney Cruise Line® is that the day at Castaway Cay just wasn’t long enough! If that thought has ever crossed your mind, you’ll want to keep reading!

Off to Neverland Travel® has combed through the new 2014 Disney Cruise Line® itineraries and we found two sailings that are going to be popular. These 4-night Bahamian Cruises will feature a stop at Nassau followed by 2 back-to-back days at Castaway Cay!

Itinerary:

Day 1: Port Canaveral, FL
Day 2: Nassau
Day 3: Disney’s Castaway Cay
Day 4: Disney’s Castaway Cay
Day 5: Port Canaveral, FL

Disney Wonder®: Oct. 6, 2014
Disney Dream®: Nov. 13, 2014

Due to the popularity of Castaway Cay, we expect availability for these sailings to quickly become limited. Take advantage of lower rates by booking early! For standard staterooms, Disney Cruise Line® only requires a nominal deposit at the time of booking with the remaining balance due 75 days prior to travel, so it is easy and convenient to “layaway” your dream vacation!

Allow us to “double your fun in the sun” at Disney’s Castaway Cay! Contact your Magic Maker® today for a free, no-obligation quote!

Updated: 2/5/13 8:44a Eastern

Galveston Weather Delay

As of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on February 5, 2013

The port area in Galveston, Texas, is currently experiencing heavy fog and the channel between the terminal and the Gulf of Mexico has been closed to all inbound and outbound vessel traffic.

At this time, the Disney Magic® is offshore waiting for the fog to clear and for the port to reopen. Once the port reopens, the onboard Guests will need to complete the debarkation process before boarding can begin for today’s sailing.

As a result of this unexpected weather delay, we are asking guests to postpone their arrival to the terminal building by at least one (1) hour after your selected port arrival time. Due to the nature of any weather condition, it is possible that further delays may occur. We will continue to monitor the fog conditions closely and will be sending updates as needed.
