Disney’s fares look high next to other lines, but more is included than most people realize, especially for families. Here’s the full breakdown.
Included in your fare
- Rotational dining: you rotate between themed main restaurants each night, and your servers move with you
- Quick-service food, the buffet and room service (tips appreciated)
- Soda, juice, coffee, tea and water at beverage stations, all free
- Broadway-style stage shows, first-run movies and deck parties with fireworks on select sailings
- Character meet-and-greets
- Kids’ clubs: the Oceaneer Club and Lab (ages 3–12), Edge (11–14), Vibe (14–17), plus the It’s a Small World nursery for babies (extra cost)
- AquaDuck and AquaMouse water coasters, pools and splash zones
- Private-island beach days, with lunch included
What costs extra
- Alcohol: Disney has no unlimited drink package. Wine packages and per-drink pricing are available.
- Adult-exclusive dining at Palo and Enchanté (or Remy on some ships)
- Wi-Fi (Connect@Sea plans)
- The It’s a Small World nursery
- Spa, excursions and photos
- Daily gratuities
- Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and some special experiences
No drink package? Here’s why it often doesn’t matter
Because soda is free, families who’d otherwise buy soda packages on other lines save $10–$18 per child per day. For adults who drink, budget per drink or buy a wine package for dinners.
Comparing Disney’s price fairly
