A 7 Year Old’s Guide to Disney Cruise Line

Last month we returned home from a 5 day Bahamian cruise aboard the Disney Dream. It was our very first Disney Cruise and a total surprise to the kids! When we got home I asked Noah if he liked the surprise element of the trip OR if he wished he would have known about it ahead of time. And guess what he said?! He actually preferred the SURPRISE! Which, got me thinking, why not share his opinion of the cruise?! After all, he is quite the Disney fan with his own unique thoughts and opinions. So, if you’re planning an upcoming Disney Cruise with kids then read on for our 7 year old’s guide to the Disney Cruise Line.

Meet Noah

Hi, I’m Noah! I am 7 years old and a first grader. I like building LEGOS, drawing and making art projects. My dream is to one day become a Disney animator. My favorite movie is Toy Story. My all-time favorite Disney memory is getting to meet my hero, Lightning McQueen, at Disneyland when I was 5 years old.
