🌟 Double the Magic with a Disney Vacation by Land and Sea! 🚢🏰

Why not double the Disney fun? With Port Canaveral just an hour away from Disney World, it’s easy to combine adventures by land and sea in one unforgettable trip. Here are some tips to make the most of your Disney World visit before or after your Disney cruise:

🎒 Pack Your MagicBand+!
You can use it both at Walt Disney World and onboard Disney Cruise Line ships to unlock your room, enter park gates, make purchases, and even enjoy special interactive experiences with just a tap.

🚡 Stay in “Vacation Mode” with Disney Transportation!
Whether you’re visiting the parks before or after your cruise, Disney makes traveling easy. Add transfers between Port Canaveral, Walt Disney World, and Orlando International Airport to your itinerary for a stress-free trip. Once at Disney World, take advantage of the fun and complimentary transportation options—like the Monorail, my personal favorite!

🏝️ Turn Your Trip into a Full-Week Vacation!
Extend the magic by adding a few nights at a Disney Resort before or after your 3- or 4-night cruise on the Disney Wish. Relax by the pool, explore the parks, and enjoy the legendary Disney service and storytelling at your resort of choice.

🧳 Store Your Bags and Hit the Parks!
Maximize your park time by starting your adventure as soon as you arrive. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort, enjoy early park entry and store your luggage with Bell Services. They’ll even deliver your bags to your room later so you can focus on having fun!

🎉 Disney After Hours is Back for 2025! 🌙✨

Get ready for late-night magic at Walt Disney World Resort with Disney After Hours! These exclusive events offer you and your family a unique opportunity to experience Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT after they’ve officially closed for the day.

🕖 Start your night as early as 7 p.m. and stay up to 3 hours after park closing! Enjoy the perks of shorter wait times for popular attractions, meeting some of your favorite Disney characters, and indulging in complimentary snacks like ice cream, popcorn, and select drinks—all included with your ticket!

📅 Mark your calendars:

Magic Kingdom Park: Begins January 6
Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Begins January 22
EPCOT: Begins February 27

✨ Our family attended a Disney After Hours event at Hollywood Studios this year, and it was such a memorable experience! With low wait times for rides, we made the most of every minute. Our favorite part was meeting Mickey—such a magical moment! Although we didn’t make it until the very end (our daughter got tired), we still felt it was worth every second.


If you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy Disney, I highly recommend trying out Disney After Hours!
