UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2024. Disney Cruise Line has become a family favorite for cruise vacations. As they continue to expand their cruise destinations all over the world, we can’t forget a close to home favorite—West Coast and San Diego Disney cruises! No matter where you are in the world or where you are in the cruise booking process, we’re here to help starting with our 7 reasons to sail Disney Cruise Line on the West Coast here.

We love Disney Cruise Line at Get Away Today, in fact we’ve written a whole piece on why it’s the best! Here are just some of the reasons why you should sail Disney Cruise Line on the West Coast for the first time or the first time in a while.

1. It's easy to add a Disney Cruise Line West Coast sailing to your Disneyland vacation. Getting to sail with Mickey and enjoy the Disneyland Resort? Talk about a magical land and sea vacation!

One of the best reasons to choose Disney Cruise Line on the West Coast is the convenient departures from ports like San Diego. This port is easy access for Southern California residents, plus opportunities to explore the local scene before you depart.

We suggest scheduling your Disney Cruise after your Disneyland portion—that way you'll be able to spend the last part of your land and sea vacation relaxing.

2. When you sail Disney Cruise Line from San Diego or anywhere on the West Coast, you have a huge selection of itineraries. On top of the usual four, five and seven night sailings, there are even two and three night options. Destinations include Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, the California Coast and Baja Mexico.

Don’t get overwhelmed with the options, our cruise experts can help you narrow down choices for all the factors that make sense for your family. The direct line to our cruise experts is open at 877-510-2929.

3. Most Disney Cruise Line West Coast sailings leave from San Diego, which is an easy drive-to destination for those of us nearby. Being able to drive instead of fly can help keep the cost down and allows you to have your vehicle for any pre or post-cruise fun.

4. The Disney Wonder was newly refurbished in 2019. On top of all-new decor throughout the ship and staterooms, there are now new things to experience. New entertainment includes MARVEL's Super Hero Academy, Disney Junior-themed activities, Andy's Room in the Oceaneer Club and more. Don't be surprised if you don't see your kids that much during your Disney Cruise on the West Coast.

5. There are three main dining restaurants on the Disney Wonder, including two that you can't taste on any other Disney Cruise Line ship. The first is the Animator's Palate, a favorite among all the Disney Cruise Line ships that offers great food with some theatrical display. Next is Triton's, an under the sea-themed location that can only be found on the Disney Wonder. Tiana's Place was recently added in the refurbishment and is also exclusive to the Disney Wonder.
