WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"We searched high and low for a Disney Cruise Line agent who didn't just book the cruise, but could also help with the European cities where we begin / end, and felt so lucky to find Chris @ Wishful Thinking. His granular-level understanding of international travel is astonishing, tbh, better than anyone I've ever worked with. He spotted all the red flags in advance and helped me avoid at least 5 travel fiascos if I had let my husband plan this, LOL!"

KayleeCalgary

"For my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary we combined a Disney Cruise Line concierge sailing with a Walt Disney World trip. What impressed me most about Wishful Thinking was that Chris designed a seamless experience with door-to-door white glove treatment and private transportation. He thought of everything, and also helped us plan a surprise character breakfast inside the castle with my grandma's favorite princess Cinderella. Caring for older adults plus 3 year old twins was stressful enough; Chris handled every detail and make the whole experience effortless from beginning to end."

MackenzieColorado

"Our best vacation ever. We used Wishful Thinking to plan our Disney Cruise from Rome to Barcelona, then finishing with 5 nights in the most magical Castle Club room at Disneyland Paris. The fact that Chris has personally visited everywhere recently helped us relax and know that we were in safe hands. His tips for the trains and transportation were spot-on. (By the third day, we just knew that if Chris told us to do something, that's what we should do!!) He was right about absolutely everything. The restaurant recommendations (in Italy, Spain, and France) were exceptional. "

GarySan Diego

"Hands down, Wishful Thinking is my recommended travel agency for international park trips & Adventures by Disney trips. Chris's amount of information -- made accessible, enthusiastically -- is Wishful Thinking's differentiating factor. From the website to their city of Paris travel guide to social media accounts, I came to rely on and look forward to Chris's take on things. When I think fancy or potentially tricky, Chris is my guy!"

JessicaOregon

"We had never taken a cruise before ever. Wishful Thinking helped us think through all the different cruises and ships to decide what would be the best one and how much everything would cost. I was surprised that it was less than what we normally spend at Disneyland and now we are hooked for Disney cruises, especially with voung kids it was the best! Chris is a good guy and super helpful. Definitely use him if you're thinking of taking a cruise."

MarcusOakland

"Coming from Brazil there is always the fear that maybe you are not getting the best price or maybe there will be hidden surprise costs. With Wishful Thinking everything was the same prices because it is direct from Disney. It was 100% clear in advance what the total price would be for our whole family to do Walt Disney World with hotel, tickets, and dining plan plus our first Disney cruise. Plus buses to the sea port and coming back to Orlando. And his portuguese was surprising, muito bom! Super top travel agent, highly recommend."

Aline Rio de Janeiro

"Lightning fast responses!!! Wishful Thinking's text message help line was great, my wife and I could get answers within a minute instead of calling Disney and waiting on hold. We are very seasoned travelers. Chris is the best travel agent I've ever worked with, really understood how to make our once-in-a-lifetime Adventures by Disney trip to Japan (with an extended stay at Tokyo Disneyland / Tokyo DisneySea) the most memorable vacation our family has ever had. I do think you'd be crazy to go to Japan / Tokyo Disney without talking to Wishful Thinking first."

JayVancouver

"We found Wishful Thinking when looking for a travel agent that had experience booking trips to Disneyland Paris, which I seemed to have a harder time finding than some of the other Disney resorts. I'm so glad that we managed to find Wishful Thinking! They had a lot of great tools & resources to help us plan our options. We were able to plan an excellent trip to Disneyland Paris complete with a short trip to the city; both parts of the trip went smoothly.I think Disneyland Paris is my new favorite park and I'll definitely be back to Wishful Thinking in the future!"

KaitlynMassachusetts

"Wishful Thinking was amazing! We had a direct phone line to Chris, and he answered all of my family's many many questions no matter how silly. He helped us figure out what we wanted to do at Walt Disney World and when we should plan for it! And he did it all in like 2 months cuz my family never plans ahead! Amazing!! Will use him again the next time we go!"

AlejandroTexas

"I felt like I had an accomplice on our Walt Disney World trip, but one who was as present (or as out of the way) as I needed. Clutch move: helping us move hotels and making it seamless for us. Also great: walking me through some ideal itineraries and pulling through on some key dinner reservations!"

NoriaNew York City

"We recently took a very last-minute weekend getaway to Walt Disney World. It was AWESOME and literally all because of Wishful Thinking. They helped us get Park Pass reservations, make a flexible schedule based on our preferences, and lots more. I cannot recommend them enough! And with Wishful Thinking’s help, we can’t wait to go back again soon!"

LaraConnecticut

"This is our second vacation planned with Wishful Thinking. Chris really outdid himself again! He offered recommendations at Universal Orlando Resort and then let us chose from there. Offered his expertise when we asked. We had an incredible week at the Portofino Bay Hotel and fun filled days at the parks. We will definitely use Chris and his team for future trips."

EllenVirginia

"Our Wishful Thinking agent was our one-stop for answers to our many, many questions about Walt Disney World. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us down-to-earth, realistic feedback on the various options and how they might work for our family. In addition, he was full of enthusiasm! I got excited about our vacation just by hearing the timbre of his voice."

What's unique about a Disney cruise?

World-class Disney entertainment. Non-stop activities for the whole family.

Imagine if you could take an incredible road trip to some of the world’s most incredible locales. Arriving in a spectacular new destination every day. But instead of packing (and unpacking) your bags in a new hotel each night, cramming into a car for mind-numbing hours of highway views, imagine if the hotel itself was moving. Gliding on the water. With spectacular ocean views from the plush comfort of your bed.

That’s the wonder of a cruise vacation.

If you’ve never taken a Disney cruise, you might wonder how they differ from a classic Disney theme parks vacation.

Let’s explore what makes a Disney cruise an unforgettable way to enjoy Disney at its best.

See the world -- with ease.

Sure, Central Florida (and Southern California) has its charms. But have you seen the aquamarine waters and sugar sand beaches of the Caribbean… with your own two eyes? Have you tasted Italian carbonara… in Rome? Disney Cruise Line vacations are international journeys to some of the world’s most beloved destinations, and a cruise makes getting there a breeze. A sea breeze!

Let Disney entertain the kids -- while you kick back & relax.

You probably wouldn’t let your kids wander off beyond your sight while you’re in a Disney park.

On board Disney cruises, however, complimentary all-day kids clubs offer a full day’s itinerary of interactive games, activities, crafts & entertainment. Disney’s Oceaneer Club & Oceaneer Lab (ages 3 – 10), Edge (11–14) and Vibe (14–17) are so much fun that your mind will be free to wander off — while you enjoy a relaxing massage, a dip in the adults-exclusive pool, a tropical cocktail, or some alone time with your sweetheart.

In the evenings, you’re invited to take a seat for Broadway-quality musical shows, swab the decks at parties with pirates, or take part in family-friendly activities like live game shows, trivia contests, and Disney princess meet & greets.

Discover the best of Disney's top-notch service.

Prepare to be impressed. The quality of service on board Disney Cruise Line blows Disney’s landlocked hotels and restaurants out of the water. There’s no comparison.

Disney Cruise Line pioneered an innovative service framework; your team of restaurant servers follow you from night to night as you rotate through Disney’s on-board restaurants. Before long, they don’t merely know your name; they know your favorite cocktail, what temperature you prefer for your steaks, any food allergies in your party, and which desserts you might like best.

Your stateroom attendant is far more than a housekeeper; they provide vacation tips and reminders, whimsical ‘towel art,’ and invaluable guidance for navigating the ship and the endless list of activities. Together, they’re some of the most personable, friendly, “Disney-esque” Cast Members you’ll ever meet.

"We found Wishful Thinking when looking for a travel agent that had experience booking trips to Disneyland Paris, which I seemed to have a harder time finding than some of the other Disney resorts. I'm so glad that we managed to find Wishful Thinking! They had a lot of great tools and resources that helped us identify the trip we wanted to plan and what options we had when visiting the parks. We were able to plan an excellent trip to Disneyland Paris complete with a short trip to the city; both parts of the trip went smoothly, and we were able to truly maximize and enjoy our experience in both locations. I think Disneyland Paris is my new favorite park and I'll definitely be back to Wishful Thinking in the future!"

"Absolutely amazing communication! Wishful Thinking had all the answers for everything and made my trip to Disneyland Paris so easy and smooth! I could not have done this trip without Chris’s help. Thanks so much!"

"Chris was caring, patient and so resourceful! This was our first time traveling internationally with our daughter and during a holiday busy season (NYE). He took time to care about our safety and gave tips not just for Disneyland Paris but regarding our overall Paris travel, showing his passion of travel. We have a 2026 Walt Disney World adventure planned with my husband’s work and plan to contact Chris for planning so we can travel together!"

"Chris guided us to the perfect hotel for our anniversary stay at Disneyland, helping out and taking care of the little details that made our visit even more special. His help and insights were invaluable. I hadn’t used a travel agent before for our Disney visits, but I will definitely be using Wishful Thinking for our future visits!"

"Chris was able to explain the complexities of Walt Disney World in a way that was easy to comprehend, including Genie+, the importance of dining reservations, etc. We will 100% will use Wishful Thinking again and would enthusiastically recommend."

"Having someone to walk me through how Tokyo Disney Resort works was invaluable. I didn’t know to book a vacation before talking to Chris and I’m so glad for his advice! The trip was even better than I expected. Enthusiastically recommend Wishful Thinking."

"Wishful Thinking was SUPERB! So friendly and always available, even at the very last minute (which was when I booked the trip). Extremely knowledgeable in EVERYTHING about Walt Disney World."

"Chris was absolutely FANTASTIC! We were flying blind planning for our quick trip to Disneyland Paris, and literally helped us through EVERY STEP... absolutely recommend him!"

"I am an experienced traveller as well as a longtime Disney pass holder who lives 30 minutes from WDW. I have been to California Disneyland many times as a child and as an adult. I have been to Disneyland Paris. I planned all these things on my own. But Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo DisneySea concerned me a bit. The reservation rules, language barrier, etc. made me nervous so I reached out to Wishful Thinking for guidance, bookings, and moral support. Chris was excellent in answering questions, bookings, telling me how to book the things I needed to do on my own, and giving advice on places other than Disney parks to visit while in Japan. I would absolutely recommend Wishful Thinking to anyone planning a Disney trip, especially to Japan! Thank you!"
