The RIGHT Way to Plan a Disney Cruise in 2025

[@froby4291]

FINALLY! My family cruise is in 2025 and been waiting for this video! Been obsessed with all your cruise videos! Great great job! 🎉🙌

[@jessicatorres8159]

We had such a blast on the Wish for my birthday in January that I basically came home and planned a cruise for Feb 2025! Magic, here we come!

[@dfbbreea]

WooHOO!!!!

[@jesilehman7988]

My family is going in January!! How was the weather?! Any tips??

[@jessicatorres8159]

@jesilehman7988 the weather was my biggest complaint, it never got above 75 and was kind of dreary and rainy for a bit. Just have fun exploring the ship, the whole cast is so amazing. We watched the fireworks from the smoking deck bc it was very quiet and honestly not anyone was smoking cigarettes that we could tell so the smoke didn't bother us at all.

The Right way to plan for a Disney Cruise........ Have LOTS of money!

[@chandramcduffie8697]

Exactly!

[@nanashirose]

Right?!?

[@jackiehoward7300]

I don’t know A.J. mentioned this or not but interior rooms are great for those needing darkness to sleep. I had an interior cabin once, best sleep I ever had.

[@scottsutcliffe3266]

Good points!! Also, you are NEVER in your cabin. People don't spend big money on a cruise so they can stay in their cabin. Get an inside cabin and you will be glad you did.

AJ! Can DFB do port excursion recommendation video for DCL??? Carribean Bahamian ports?

[@DennisOBrien1]

Going the treasure 2/1! Can’t wait

[@mela1580]

Oceaneer's club/ lab onboard and Scuttles/ Sebastian's Cove on the island are 3-10 only now. They no longer allow 11 & 12 year Olds. This change was made almost a year ago. They are strict on this, and turned away my 11 year old, who was so disappointed.

[@joanneh4803]

Just wanted to add that on our last few cruises when you want to try to get a reservation at one of the adult dining restaurants when you get onboard, you do not go to the restaurant. Usually there is a designated time and area on the ship, typically one of the lounges, to go where you can make dining changes or get on a list for adult dining.

[@megans.5034]

The kids club ages have changed. Oceaneer Club/Lab: 3-10, Edge: 11-14, Vibe: 14-17

[@SydneyPatterson-u3y]

My family is going on the Wish in 14 days and I’m SO excited!!❤ My hubby and I went on our honeymoon on a Disney Cruise back in July. We came right back home and booked this one for November😅

[@maetherabbit9999]

In a future video could you please advise parents of young kids about the no swim nappies/diapers in the pool rule, please. Seems like a lot of people aren't aware of this rule and either get bitterly disappointed or break the rules and get the pool shutdown. There's adorable splash pads just for the littles!!!

[@DianeWhiting-z7z]

Going in May, 2025! Can’t wait! 🎉

[@KyleCleric]

Spent last week on a Disney Cruise. Ready to plan and book my next one! :)

[@darrenknowles842]

Booked TWO staterooms for our family of 6! It's our first cruise....ever!! We sail June for our 10 year anniversary. Very excited!!

[@ASan512]

I'd love to see some content about the DVC member sailings. I recently joined DVC and am looking forward to a member-first cruise on the Destiny next year and I have no idea what's different about DVC member cruises!

[@triciagrant2315]

Going on the Dream in 2025. Will get to hit both private islands.

[@MP-cr7uf]

The Oceaneer Club/Lab are for kids 3-10 years old.

[@jaehojeong5036]

We hope there will Disney cruise route lines between S. Korea🇰🇷 & Japan🇯🇵. Especially Busan ~ Fukuoka, Busan ~ Osaka, and Busan ~ Tokyo.

[@elizabethw.6154]

Is it bad that when she asked, "how do you pay for a Disney cruise?"... I immediately said out loud, "with a bank loan." 😂 Then she also quoted some prices 3k, 7k, 16k?! ... And I started thinking about paying for a semester of college tuition with those prices, not a few days on a cruise?! SUCH CRAZY PRICES! 😮

[@vincent412l7]

If price is an issue, then don't look at the most expensive Concierge Level Royal Suite iocated in the funnel.

[@scottsutcliffe3266]

We go on the Treasure in February '25 and on the Magic in July '25.

[@LinusCello75]

What about hotel plans before and/or after the cruise? Will the water park perk be available next year? Considerations if “split stay” at different hotels before and after cruise? Visiting Universal or another park before or after DCL curie?

[@aznmoviechick]

I’m going on the Marvel cruise on the Dream in January 2025. I can’t wait. It’s my second Disney cruise. 😊

[@KristinaStutts]

@aznmoviechick We went on a Marvel Day at Sea this past March and talk about it at least once a week. You're gonna love it!

[@ashleypatch7]

Do any Disney cruise experts know when they will do their 50% off deposits?

[@danycruise97]

Very nice ship !

[@hgcadg21]

You didn’t talk about tipping, is it the same as other cruise lines?

[@maetherabbit9999]

Depends where you sail from. Out of the US, tipping is expected. For Australia and New Zealand sailings they've included gratuities into prices for lounges and cafes as tipping is not a thing Australia does. They also need to do that with the prepaid gratuities, IMO, as people were actually opting out and that is awful considering how hard the cast members work!

[@vincent412l7]

The Navigator app is not the same as the MDE app. You must have a reservation. I tried to explore the ship on the app before booking a cruise but it doesn't allow that.

[@-iq8sm]

how much is the disney cruise?

[@opzwill1]

You forgot that the Wonder sails from San Diego!

[@billvivers]

1st cruise ever for my wife and I 4 days on the Wish in early February, any tips you guys? we did get a veranda room other than that not sure what else we should do and is a can’t miss?

[@connies729]

See the shows. Palo brunch! Cocktails at each lounge. Match your mate. Have fun!

[@KristinaStutts]

You said defunct 20K Lounge and in my head, I thought that meant it was cancelled. You were talking about the rude. Don't scare me like that!

[@deontaewaters438]

If I had really have to choose a side, I'd say Team Hero.

[@nessquik1995]

Is it just me or does it look like Perry the platypus at 26:08 ?😅

[@dfbbreea]

A cabana? …………PERRY THE CABANA????!

[@davidrigoni8231]

Looking at the cabana with roof as his hat.?

[@nessquik1995]

I thought It matches his colours 😊

[@jamesd5842]

Why is the 20,000 Leagues lounge defunct?

[@KristinaStutts]

Not the lounge. The ride. I had the same thought.

[@jamesd5842]

@ that’s what I was hoping she meant. If it was them re-theming the lounge I would have been very sad lol

[@atlsongbyrd6084]

$57,000?!

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Not gonna give Disney my money any more. Bleh.

[@davidrigoni8231]

So why’d you watch😳

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@ So I could trigger little snowflakes like you.

[@bossmodl3thalpoppa484]

@@LyleFrancisDelpyou’re joking right? 😂
