Younger families often enjoy the ease of navigating around Disneyland Resort and taking a starter 3-night cruise out of Southern California. Disneyland Park is the original Magic Kingdom and boasts many fairytale favorites plus Sleeping Beauty Castle.

For this land and sea combination we suggest staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa which is the closest hotel to both theme parks, followed by a 3-night Baja cruise aboard the Disney Magic from San Diego, California.

Teens are often ready to explore a bit on their own and enjoy mingling with other kids their age. Cruising and exploring multiple theme parks with thrill rides is the perfect way to connect to one another and disconnect from being plugged in at home.

For families with teens we suggest spending a day at each of the main theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort so you can hit all the best thrill rides listed here. You can book theme park tickets along with a stay at Caribbean Beach Resort to get you in the cruising mindset before your sailing. Plus, Caribbean Beach has easy access to the Skyliner transportation which is super easy for teens to navigate.

When you set sail from Florida there are so many choices for cruising. Families with teens often enjoy Disney Cruise Lines to continue the magic and enjoy ​​”Vibe” the teen-only space aboard most Disney ships.

Disney vacations are a favorite family reunion type of destination because so much work is already done for you. And with Get Away Today on your side, booking couldn’t be easier!

If you’re inviting aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and more we recommend a stay at Walt Disney World’s Art of Animation Resort because of the Family Suites that can sleep up to six. Other great hotel options include Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort or Disney’s Port Orleans - Riverside, that both include 5th Sleeper rooms that can sleep up to five. However, it’s important to note that when you book with Get Away Today, we can help you make a request for adjoining rooms, or rooms that are next to each other if possible.

What’s great about cruising is that each ship has something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Various kids or teen clubs, adult-only areas, entertainment for both families and adults are all available on a variety of ships and cruise lines. For more family-focused fun, we would recommend Disney Cruise Line on any of their ships (Disney Wish, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic or the Disney Wonder.)

If you’re looking for a variety of both adult and family-friendly activities, we recommend looking at either Royal Caribbean or Carnival Cruise Line. Both cruise lines recently announced new ships coming in 2023 and 2024, such as the Carnival Jubilee and Royal Caribbean’s, Odyssey of the Seas that we would highly recommend checking out.

When you speak to one of our travel agents at 877-510-2929, we can develop a land and sea package, plus send separate quotes out to each household in your family vacation. That way everyone can keep track of their particular budget and spending. And of course, with our low price guarantee, you’re never penalized for booking early.

Whether it's Walt Disney World paired with a Royal Caribbean Cruise, a Disney Cruise from Port Canaveral or a Disneyland trip partnered with a Disney Cruise on the west coast—we have done it all and can help take the hassle out of piecing it together.
