Think the magic on the Disney Destiny is all about the characters, Broadway-style shows, and themed restaurants? Think again!
One of my favorite things about sailing with Disney is that there’s SO much happening throughout the ship. From interactive experiences and character encounters to family games and creative activities, there’s something for everyone.
Here are 10 onboard activities you won’t want to miss on your Disney Destiny cruise!
-
Stitch’s Space Goo 👽
Get ready for some out-of-this-world fun! At this Stitch-inspired activity, kids get to enjoy a hands-on slime-making experience. The best part? You get to take your very own Space Goo slime home as a fun souvenir from your cruise!
-
Royal Gathering 👑
Want to meet some of your favorite Disney princesses? Royal Gathering is a special character experience where guests can meet several princesses in one place.
Huma’s tip: This experience is complimentary, but reservations are required and spots can sell out quickly! It’s typically only offered on the first and second nights of your sailing, so book as soon as your reservation window opens. Don’t wait until you’re onboard!

⭐ Huma’s Tips for Making the Most of Your Disney Cruise
- Download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app: Once onboard, connect to the ship’s Wi-Fi and use the app to view daily activities, schedules, character appearances, and entertainment.
- Plan ahead: Some activities require reservations, so check availability early.
- Build in downtime: You don’t have to do everything. Enjoy the pools, grab a snack, or simply relax.
- Check the schedule daily: Activities and times can change throughout your sailing.
You don’t have to do everything to experience the magic. Sometimes the unexpected activities become your favorite cruise memories!
Happy sailing! ⚓
