Disney Cruise Cabins and Suites: Everything You Should Know

Selecting the right Disney cruise cabin is essential, but it’s not overly complicated.

Compared to some of Disney Cruise Line's rivals, like Royal Caribbean, Disney's cabin categories are quite straightforward. Additionally, the line doesn’t provide an extensive variety of cabin styles across its fleet, so once you discover your perfect cabin, you can easily reserve your home at sea with Mickey with just a few clicks.

Most of Disney's accommodations across the six bookable ships are categorized into four main types, from inside cabins without a view to concierge suites offering extra perks. Whether you’re sailing on the classic Disney Magic or the brand-new Disney Treasure (set to launch in December 2024), every cabin combines comfortable living spaces with modern amenities and charming Disney design elements.

A Guide to Disney Cruise Line Cabins

Disney cruise cabins are classified into four primary categories: inside cabins without windows or balconies; ocean-view cabins featuring non-opening porthole windows; verandah cabins that offer balconies for sitting; and concierge rooms, which encompass ocean-view and verandah cabins along with larger suites that boast enhanced amenities.

Every Disney cruise ship offers cabins specifically designed for guests requiring accessible options due to wheelchair use or mobility challenges. These accommodations come with ramped thresholds for verandahs and bathrooms, lowered closet rods, emergency alarms beside the bed, wider doorways, and at least one main bathroom equipped with a roll-in shower featuring a seat and grab bars, plus an emergency pull cord. Features in accessible rooms may vary by ship, with the newer Disney Wish and Treasure providing additional assistive amenities.

All of Disney Cruise Line's cabins are designed with families in mind. The smallest inside cabins can accommodate three to four guests and measure 169 square feet. The largest non-concierge options are the deluxe family verandah cabins, which can be up to 304 square feet (including the balcony) and can host up to five people. These cabins feature an additional single wall pull-down bed located near the verandah door.

Disney thoughtfully considers even the tiniest details in each room to evoke that magical atmosphere. Look for Disney Cruise Line and Mickey Mouse logos on the bedding, character designs on the ceilings above the pull-down bunks, and delightful Disney artwork decorating the walls.

Among Disney's family-friendly amenities is a split bathroom layout.

One section features a water closet with a sink and toilet, while the other includes a bath with a tub shower and an additional sink. In the main living area, a queen bed is situated on one side, and a sofa that converts into a twin bed is on the opposite side. It's important to note that on all Disney Cruise Line ships, the queen bed cannot be divided into two twin beds.

In some cabins, a pull-down bunk can be lowered from the ceiling above the sofa bed, allowing the room to accommodate up to four guests. For cabins designed for five, an additional Murphy bed can be lowered from the wall. A sizable curtain can also be drawn to create two semi-private sleeping areas.

Cabins are equipped with a mini-fridge, a safe, a closet with shelves and hanging rods, numerous outlets and USB ports, and a TV featuring several national channels. On the Disney Wish and Treasure, complimentary streaming options are also available through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.

Unlike many other cruise lines, Disney offers two significant perks that come with any cabin booking: twice-daily housekeeping and complimentary 24/7 room service. (Yes, please to Mickey's ice cream bars delivered to my cabin after an adventure!) Many larger cruise lines have cut back housekeeping to once a day and typically charge for room service.

Inside cabins on Disney Cruise Line ships

Disney cruise ships feature inside cabins that are perfect for families aiming to budget wisely on their cruise; these accommodations are typically the most affordable on board. Ranging from 169 to 184 square feet, most inside cabins include the standard amenities mentioned earlier. Every ship offers category 11 inside cabins with standard full bathrooms instead of split baths. Additionally, on Disney Magic, Wonder, Fantasy, and Dream, there’s a category 10 that includes a split bath option.

While these rooms may not provide a view of the outside, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream offer a "magical porthole"—a round LED screen designed to simulate a porthole window that displays real-time views of the ship's surroundings based on your cabin's position.

If you stay in rooms on Disney Magic, Wonder, Wish, or Treasure, you’ll find they have no view, whether real or virtual, which can be a bit daunting for some children. However, many adults appreciate these dark spaces for a restful night’s sleep. For those with kids or adults needing some light during the night, Disney Cruise Line permits you to bring nightlights on board.

Cabins with ocean views are available on Disney Cruise Line ships.

For those seeking a room that offers a bit more space along with a view of the ocean or port, an ocean-view or outside cabin may be the perfect choice. Disney's ocean-view cabins range from 204 to 241 square feet, featuring large windows or portholes that allow in ample natural light, although they don’t open to welcome the ocean breeze.

Guests staying in ocean-view cabins enjoy all the standard amenities mentioned earlier.

Verandah cabins on Disney Cruise Line ships

Verandah cabins on Disney Cruise Line ships offer the most spacious non-concierge accommodations, ranging from 243 to 304 square feet, which includes a private outdoor balcony. The sliding glass door can be opened to let in fresh air or to step outside and take in the views, and they are equipped with childproof locks for added safety.

The balconies generally come equipped with a couple of chairs and a small table. Some connecting rooms also feature verandahs that can be opened up to create a more expansive outdoor area if desired.

Verandah rooms are available in various categories, including those with enclosed verandahs where views may be partially obstructed by lifeboats, private verandahs offering a limited view with a partial white wall, spacious private verandahs, and balconies facing the rear of the ship.

Concierge cabins on Disney Cruise Line ships

Disney Cruise Line's concierge cabins and suites across all ships offer extra amenities and benefits, making them the priciest accommodations in the fleet. From the moment you make your reservation until you disembark, you’ll receive attentive service.

Prior to your cruise, the shoreside concierge team will reach out via email to help arrange shore excursions and onboard activities, such as dining at Palo, the adults-only Italian restaurant. Upon arrival at the cruise terminal, concierge guests enjoy a dedicated waiting area and are among the first to board the ship.

While on board, all concierge guests have access to a special lounge stocked with snacks and drinks, along with lounge staff available to assist with reservations or other requests. You’ll also enjoy priority seating at the Walt Disney Theater for evening shows. Furthermore, concierge rooms and suites come with down duvets, a selection of pillows, robes, and slippers. Guests in concierge accommodations receive a limited amount of complimentary Wi-Fi, with details provided once you’re on the ship.

Disney's concierge rooms are available in various sizes and layouts, with some options offered fleetwide while others are exclusive to certain ship classes.

Every ship in the fleet features concierge family ocean-view staterooms with a verandah. These rooms have a similar layout to standard ocean-view rooms, accommodating up to five guests and measuring 296 to 306 square feet, including the outdoor area. On Disney Wish and Treasure, guests will find king-size beds in these staterooms, a notable upgrade from the queen-size beds found on the four classic Disney Cruise Line ships.

Disney Wish and Treasure also offer concierge family ocean-view staterooms without private balconies. These accommodations include floor-to-ceiling windows, can sleep four to five guests, and have a total area of 357 square feet.

Concierge Royal Suite with verandah

The four classic Disney ships—Disney Magic, Wonder, Fantasy, and Dream—each have two concierge Royal Suites with a verandah. These luxurious suites feature two separate bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a living room, a dining area, a pantry stocked with a wet bar including water and soda, a walk-in closet, and access to a media library.

This cabin type accommodates five to seven guests and varies in size from 1,029 to 1,781 square feet, including the verandah. The veranda is more spacious than most similar cabin styles, particularly on Disney Dream and Fantasy, where it faces the front of the ship and wraps around the cabin’s entire front wall. The area features elevated furniture with cushioned chairs and a larger table, and on Dream and Fantasy, there's even a private whirlpool tub.

Concierge one-bedroom suite with verandah

All ships in the fleet feature one-bedroom suites that can accommodate five guests, measuring between 608 and 622 square feet, including the balcony.

What sets these suites apart is the distinct separation between the bedroom and living area (as opposed to just a curtain), though the living room can serve as a second bedroom if necessary. This arrangement is ideal for families, allowing parents to enjoy their own space while giving kids a dedicated area. Depending on the ship, these suites offer either one and a half bathrooms or two full bathrooms.

Disney Wish and Treasure also feature one-bedroom suites with an extended verandah. These spacious rooms can accommodate five guests and boast an impressive 1,031 square feet. There's ample space for everyone, including a two-seater couch and two chairs around a coffee table, along with outdoor lounge chairs and a four-person dining table.

Concierge one-story Royal Suite with verandah

Disney Wish and Treasure offer concierge one-story Royal Suites with a verandah. These opulent suites span 1,507 square feet and can host up to six guests. They include two main bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a whirlpool on the verandah, a living area, a dining room, and a well-stocked wet bar with soda and water.

The two main bedrooms are equipped with king-size beds, while the living room features a queen convertible sofa. This cabin style is ideal for multigenerational families seeking extra space and luxurious amenities.

On Disney Wish, the suite is themed around "Sleeping Beauty." Disney Treasure has two suites of this type, one inspired by "Aladdin" and the other by "The Jungle Book."

Concierge two-bedroom suite with verandah

Disney Wonder and Magic offer concierge two-bedroom suites that can accommodate up to seven guests. These suites measure 945 square feet, including the verandah, and feature two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a living room, a wet bar, two walk-in closets, and access to a media library.

This room layout is perfect for extended families traveling together, featuring a master bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with two twin beds plus an upper berth. The living room includes a double sleeper sofa for additional sleeping capacity.

Concierge two-story Royal Suite with verandah

Exclusive to Disney Wish and Treasure, concierge two-story Royal Suites offer 1,759 square feet of space and can accommodate up to six guests. The themes of these suites are identical to those of the one-story Royal Suites.

On the lower level, the suite features a foyer that leads to a spiral staircase, along with a pantry and wet bar. The living room includes a dining table and a sitting area that can also serve as a sleeping area. Adjacent to the dining area is the first-floor bedroom and bathroom, while the second floor contains the main bedroom and bathroom. The first-floor balcony features a full-size dining table with chairs, loungers, and an ocean-facing whirlpool.

Tower Suite

The most opulent and private accommodations in the Disney Cruise Line fleet are the Tower Suites found on Disney Dream, Wish, and Treasure. These suites are situated within a faux forward funnel on each ship.

These two-story suites feature exclusive elevator access and can accommodate up to eight guests, making them the largest on board, ranging from 1,966 to 2,030 square feet. Each Tower Suite includes two main bedrooms with king-size beds, a children's bedroom with bunk beds, and a library that can convert into a bedroom with a queen-size Murphy bed. While these suites lack balconies, they offer floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living area.

Moreover, the Tower Suites include four and a half bathrooms, with two located within the main bedroom areas. The children's room and convertible library each have their own full bathrooms. A spiral staircase connects the two levels. The suite also features a dining room, pantry, stocked wet bar, and walk-in closets. Guests in the Tower Suite enjoy complimentary premium Wi-Fi throughout their cruise.

The themes of the suites are "Fantasia" on Disney Dream, "Moana" on Disney Wish, and Epcot on Disney Treasure.

Bottom line

Disney Cruise Line provides a wide range of family-friendly, cozy, and character-themed cabins designed to delight passengers on its ships. The variety includes budget-friendly inside rooms ideal for families, as well as luxurious funnel suites that boast expansive space and exclusive amenities.

While Disney's primary cabin options focus on families with children, certain suites, such as the Concierge Royal Suites, cater more to adults traveling together. Larger multigenerational families looking to indulge will appreciate the Tower Suites, which can accommodate the highest number of guests. Whatever your requirements for a Disney cruise cabin, you'll find the perfect room onboard.
