At one point, kids of all ages always dream of going on a Disneyland Vacation.
It is by far one of the most popular choices for a family vacation.
Apart from the theme parks though, Disney also offer cruise vacations for the family.
It is beneficial for those who have kids as the cruise line is especially catered to provide kids different sets of activities and amenities so that they will constantly be entertained the whole time.
This way, the parents have time to relax and get alone time.
Currently, there are plenty of Disney cruise specials surrounding the three Disney Ships: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder and the newest Disney Dream, which was just launched last January 2011.
The Dream especially is a must try as it is almost double the size of the two regular cruise ships.
Whereas the Magic and the Wonder can accommodate almost 2,400 passengers, the Dream can accommodate almost 4,000 passengers.
A family vacation is an expensive undertaking.
So, to make sure that you save for the things that really count, here are a few tips to jump start that dream vacation: Where to Stay Before and After your Cruise It is advisable for people who are going on a cruise to stay very close to the port before departure.
As is, one should stay in hotels that are at least 5 kilometers from the port.
Do not worry though.
Disney has made sure they've partnered with plenty of these hotels in order to provide you with great discounts to go along with their Disney Cruise Specials.
For those on Florida Cruises, there are four hotels very near Port Canaveral: Residence Inn, Country Inn and Suites, Radisson Resort and Sheraton.
There are plenty of freebies for those who are joining the cruise such as complimentary breakfast, free parking and a free shuttle to and from the port.
Likewise, there are also some recommended hotels that have partnered for Disney's California Cruises.
Search for Credible Tour Partners Online When looking for affordable tickets, it is sometimes confusing who to buy the tickets from especially since there are so many websites advertising online that they can save you up to 50% off on Disney cruise packages.
Who should you believe? Check whether the website was authorized by Disney to be their affiliate.
You will find somewhere in their website an 'Authorized Vacation Planner' image that proves they are Disney's affiliates.
Apart from this, there are also many Disney cruise specials on the Disney Cruise line website itself.
Most of these offers are for limited time only and they usually give deals at the last minute so keep logging on to their website for great deals.
Make use of the Freebies that come with your Package Once you've embarked on the ship, there are many available inclusions in your package.
Make sure you take advantage of each one.
Try to eat at the designated buffets or dining rooms, for example, instead of looking for exclusive restaurants onboard.
Needless to say, private restaurants tend to be more expensive while those that are included in your dinner arrangements have already been paid for by you.
So, use them wisely to take advantage of those Disney Cruise Specials completely.
