Most Caribbean sailings include a stop at my favorite place on Earth, Disney's Castaway Cay and/or Disney's brand new private destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Disney also offers unique itineraries through Europe, including the Norwegian Fjords, Alaska, and so much more. It's a bucket list vacation for sure!
