Ahoy, fellow cruisers!

Our fantasy comes true as we sail the Disney Fantasy ... and you can follow along on our cruise adventures through the photos, videos, and reviews linked here. Check back frequently, as this page changes often.

Wondering if our award-winning guidebook to the Disney Cruise Line and its ports of call will contain information on the Disney Fantasy? Yes -- in fact, our current edition already covers both the Dream AND Fantasy, and our next edition due out in a few months will have firsthand information and photos on the Fantasy.


We also have several PassPorter e-books that cover the Disney Cruise Line, including PassPorter's Cruise Clues, PassPorter's Answer Book, and PassPorter's Disney Character Yearbook, and PassPorter's Disney Weddings & Honeymoons, all of which are available through the PassPorter Store or our all-you-can-read PassPorter's Club.

May all your fantasies come true,
PassPorter Founders/Authors

       DREAM TIP
Cruising with Characters
"If you are in the elevator area of the ship and characters are nearby, hang around for a few minutes. Once they are done with photos, they will typically head towards the elevators. We did this and got an exclusive elevator ride with Minnie Mouse herself! It was an experience people don't receive very often. "
