Disney Reveals the Joyful Details of the 2014 Very Merrytime Cruises

The 2014 holiday season aboard the Disney Cruise Line fleet will kick off just a few short weeks after the Halloween on the High Seas sailings. As in years past, the fleet will be decked to the raft-ears with holiday cheer just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving. Turkey-day will include visits from Mickey & Minnie in their traditional Thanksgiving attire, and the day will culminate with a traditional turkey dinner feast! Thanksgiving would not be complete without football. Trade the couch for lounge chair around the family pool as the Thanksgiving day NFL football games will air live on Funnel Vision!

    We sailed on the Dream for New Year’s Eve this year (2013-14) and it was amazing!
    We are already booked on the Magic for the New Year’s cruise 2014-15.
    New family tradition: ring in the New Year away from the snow on the deck of a Disney ship! Awesome!
