Disney Cruise Line

Book this trip

Disney Cruise Line takes the magic of the parks to sea. With world-class entertainment, immersive themed dining, and unmatched service, it’s a vacation where every age finds something to love. From private island adventures on Castaway Cay to fireworks at sea, Disney Cruises blend family fun with pure relaxation.

But planning a cruise with so many options—ships, itineraries, dining times, and kids’ clubs—can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

Frequently asked questions

Do you help with transportation to the port?

Yes! We’ll help you arrange transportation to and from your cruise port, whether you’re flying in, driving, or adding extra days before or after your sailing. We can coordinate cruise line transfers, private shuttles, rental cars, or hotel stays near the port—whatever makes your trip easiest. Our goal is to make getting there (and home again) just as smooth as your time at sea.

Can you book Castaway Cay cabanas or excursions for us?

Yes, we’ll assist with all Port Adventure and cabana requests when your booking window opens. These sell out quickly, so we’ll help you prepare and secure the best options available.

Do Disney Cruises include everything?

Disney Cruises are nearly all-inclusive and include more than most other cruise lines. Your fare covers dining at multiple themed restaurants, 24-hour room service, Broadway-caliber shows, kids’ clubs, soft drinks (including soda!), and most onboard entertainment. You’ll also enjoy some of the largest standard staterooms at sea, designed with families in mind—often featuring split bathrooms and extra storage space. Optional extras include specialty dining, Port Adventures, spa treatments, and alcoholic beverages. We’ll help you understand exactly what’s included and plan for any upgrades so there are no surprises once you’re onboard.

Do you handle pre- and post-cruise stays at Disney World or Disneyland?

Yes! Many guests love extending their vacation before or after their cruise. We can book your resort stay, park tickets, and transportation to and from the port so the transition feels seamless.

Can you help me choose which Disney ship or itinerary is best?

Absolutely. Each ship—like the Wish, Fantasy, Dream, Magic, and Wonder—has its own style, routes, and entertainment. We’ll help you choose the perfect ship and itinerary based on your travel dates, family size, and vacation goals.

Do you help with Disney Cruise dining and activities?

Yes! We’ll walk you through everything from rotational dining and adult-exclusive restaurants to showtimes, kids’ clubs, and Castaway Cay excursions. We’ll help you make reservations, plan your day-by-day schedule, and share insider tips for getting the most out of your voyage.

Can you combine Universal with Disney or other destinations?

Definitely. Many of our clients love pairing Universal with a Disney trip, A Cruise or adding beach time before or after the parks. We’ll build a full itinerary that connects your destinations smoothly so you can enjoy everything without the travel-day stress.

What if a new discount comes out after I’ve booked?

No worries! We constantly monitor promotions and price drops from our travel partners. If a new deal becomes available that applies to your reservation, we’ll rebook or adjust it so you get the best possible rate. You don’t have to lift a finger—we’ll handle everything and make sure you never miss out on savings.

Do I have to give up control if I book through you?

Not at all. Think of us as your travel partners, not people who take over your plans. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. Some of our clients love to be involved in every detail, while others prefer to let us handle everything from start to finish—it’s totally up to you. When you book with us, you still have full access to your reservations, payments, and trip details. We simply make the process smoother, help you avoid common mistakes, and use our experience to unlock extra perks and savings along the way. You stay in control, but with expert support right beside you.

Do you help with group travel?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a family reunion, friends’ getaway, business, school group, or destination celebration, we handle all the logistics so everyone can just show up and enjoy. We’ll coordinate rooms, dining, payments, and itineraries so your group stays organized and stress-free. You’ll have one point of contact (us!) to make sure every detail is covered.

Can you help if I’ve already booked my Disney trip?

Absolutely! If your reservation was made within the last 30 days and isn’t fully paid, we can transfer it and manage everything for you. Just visit our Transfer Your Disney Vacation page.

What are the benefits of booking through The Plan Away?

When you book with us, you get more than a travel agent—you get us, Tim and Janele. We’re a husband-and-wife team who love exploring the world and helping others do the same. Over the years, we’ve turned our passion for travel into a way to help families, couples, and friends create unforgettable adventures—without the stress that usually comes with planning. Whether you’re heading to Disney, Universal, an all-inclusive resort, or out on a cruise, we take care of the details so you can focus on the fun. We’ve personally visited many of the destinations we recommend, tested resorts and restaurants, and learned the insider tips that make all the difference once you’re there. And the best part? Our services are completely free. We’re paid by our travel partners, not by you. You get our experience, advice, and full support—from the moment you start planning until you return home—at no extra cost.

Are your services really free?

Yes! Our planning services are 100% free. We’re paid directly by your vacation destination, so you get expert help without paying a dime more than if you booked yourself.

Free to plan, always. Tell us your dates and your dream — we'll handle the rest.
