25 Things to Do in Toronto, Canada

I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada (I lived just a bit outside the city of Toronto). For this reason, I might be a bit biased when I say I think it is one of the best cities in the world! Did you know Toronto is the largest city in Canada? It has a…

One thing we didn’t fully appreciate until we beca One thing we didn’t fully appreciate until we became parents is how thoughtfully designed the Disney Cruise Line staterooms are for families with babies! 👶

Before having our daughter, we had already sailed with Disney many times (we’ve been on 30+ cruises)… but now we’ve done 13 cruises with her, and these are some of the little room features that have made family vacations easier!

Things like:
• privacy curtains for naps
• bathtubs in most rooms
• pack & plays, bedrails, diaper genies & bottle warmers/sterilizers available upon request
• even homemade baby food through room service 🥣
• a good amount of storage, including room for the suitcases under the bed (and the stroller if yours folds up small - which is the kind you want to bring!)

None of these things may seem huge on their own… but together they make a big difference when traveling with a baby or toddler! These are the kinds of details that help vacations feel less stressful and more magical ✨

Which feature would help YOUR family the most? 💭

We met on a Disney Cruise and had our wedding at C We met on a Disney Cruise and had our wedding at Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island), so bringing our little girl here is truly a dream come true 💕

Having both grown up in Disney-loving families and then helping thousands of families plan their vacations, we know the joy of watching those moments turn into lifelong memories… but experiencing it as parents adds a whole new layer of magic.

Nothing compares to seeing the magic through her eyes, from her excitement meeting the characters to the simple moments playing on the beach. These are the memories we’ll hold onto forever 🤍

We never would have believed this could be our lif We never would have believed this could be our life…

Somewhere along the way, our “normal life” turned into planning trips, capturing moments, making memories, and calling it work ✈️ 

What I really mean by this is:
we get to share our family adventures, figure out the tips and tricks that actually make a difference, and help other families plan trips of their own.

Because we know how overwhelming it can feel to plan that first cruise, choose the right ship and stateroom for your family, and figure out what to pack with little ones.

If we can make it easier for even one family to take that trip and make those memories, it’s all worth it!

And the fact that we get to experience all of this with our own family… we don’t take a single second of it for granted 🥹

Sometimes all it takes is having something magical Sometimes all it takes is having something magical on the calendar ✨

A Disney Cruise brings a sense of excitement before you even step onboard. Then once you’re there, it’s family time, incredible shows, unlimited food, character moments, ocean views and memories you’ll talk about for years.

There’s something special about stepping away from the routine and making time for joy together 🚢✨

Who else gets happier the second a cruise is booked? 👀

A little planning, lower expectations and knowing where/when to take breaks can make a huge difference. Some of our favorite Disney memories have been from the baby years with our daughter! 

Remember - you do not need to do it all to have an amazing trip. Sometimes the slow moments end up being the most magical, and the unplanned ones end up being the ones you remember most 🥹

Road trips with a toddler don’t have to be miserab Road trips with a toddler don’t have to be miserable… but they can be if you’re not prepared 😅

We’ve done enough drives with our 3-year-old to know what actually works and what sounds good in theory but fails fast.

Screens? yes 
Snacks within reach? also yes 
Toys with tons of small pieces that will constantly be dropped? absolutely not 

But a little planning goes a LONG way in making the whole trip feel easier (and honestly… even fun!). These are the exact tips we swear by to survive long drives with a toddler! We hope it’s helpful! 👍

“Best Disney cruise ship for boys”… but what about “Best Disney cruise ship for boys”… but what about little girls? 👀✨

Our 3-year-old has now sailed twice on the Disney Destiny, and here’s the honest take from a toddler girl’s perspective…

She’s still completely obsessed 🤩

She really enjoyed the Hercules stage show (she loved it just as much as she loved the Frozen one) and she absolutely loved the music and show at Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King! 🦁

Character-wise, she skipped right past the heroes and villains, but that didn’t matter at all. There were still so many favorites to meet (like Mickey Mouse & friends, and plenty of princesses) that there were no shortage of character opportunities for her. 👑

And of course, the Disney Destiny still has everything you know and love about Disney Cruise Line - from fun deck parties to amazing kids club to family-friendly staterooms and beautiful island destinations. 🏝️ 

Our biggest takeaway… Everything little girls already love about Disney Cruise Line is still here. The magic, the characters, the shows, the experiences. None of that changes just because the theme leans more heroes and villains.

We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend the Destiny for families with little girls!

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about the Disney Destiny 💭
