🚢 Disney Cruise's secret power for parents isn't Disney Don’t get me wrong, Disney is core to the whole experience. @DisneyCruiseLine has incredible entertainment and activities featuring the characters you know and love. And as a huge plus, the kids clubs can actually let parents have some grown up time. My wife and I had two date nights plus spa time on our last sailing on the Disney Fantasy, which was so nice. But as a parent, there’s something that just feels amazing about being on a Disney Cruise. And it’s the other parents. Let’s be real: Traveling with kids is hard, even on the most magical vacation. On this last trip, my toddler asked for ice cream, and when I got it for her, she threw herself on the floor screaming "no ice cream." Crying because you got the ice cream. That was a new one. So here's what makes Disney Cruise Line different: Disney Fantasy Cruise Director Peter Hofer describes DCL's philosophy as delivering a "guest experience rather than a cruise experience," which is all about making people feel at home and like they're family. That shapes everything from how they design the ships (big kids clubs, no casinos) to the level of service to the overall atmosphere onboard. By building an environment that welcomes families, Disney Cruise Line attracts a lot of families. So on a Disney Cruise, you're surrounded by other parents (or grandparents or aunts and uncles) who get it. They've been there. They’ve seen it all. They might even jump in and help. Prime example of this: On the Disney Fantasy, I fully ran over a man's foot with my stroller by the pool deck. 100% my fault. His response? "No worries, dude. I have 4 kids. My feet have been destroyed countless times." And that's the secret power of a Disney Cruise that I don’t think enough people talk about. It's the feeling that you're surrounded by people who get it. That feels like family. What do you think makes Disney Cruise Line worth it for families? ⚓ #DisneyCruiseLine #DisneyFantasy #DisneyTravel #DisneyParks #DisneyCruise
