Yesterday two of Braeden’s favourite things came together in one magical event. On a chilly winter’s morning in Sydney we celebrated Christmas in July with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Meeting Disney characters is so out of this world exciting for Braeden that when we did a character breakfast at Disneyland he didn’t eat a bite of the delicious breakfast buffet. Not even a Mickey waffle could entice him away from the characters. So, you can imagine his delight at joining Mickey and Minnie, dressed in all their Christmas finery, under a Christmas tree for a photo and a hug.

Disney Wonder Christmas themed cruises

Many of you may remember that last year I had the opportunity to hop on board the Disney Wonder for an afternoon and evening of Disney delights. If you missed it, you can catch up in this review.

I am so thrilled that so many more people can experience Disney’s magic without getting on a long-haul flight. How much easier it is to walk or roll on board a ship filled with all your favourite Disney treats and friends?

The latest exciting news from Disney Cruise Line AU/NZ is the addition of Christmas sailings for the 2024-25 season. From 24 November 2024 to 3 January 2025 enchanting holiday-themed cruises will be happening in Australia and New Zealand. These voyages will be filled with festive cheer, including Christmas themed entertainment and decor. All your favourite characters will be donning their finest Christmas outfits for meet and greets with guests too.

Of course, all the usual Disney magic will be on board with Disney storytelling, Broadway-style shows and exquisite culinary experiences. And for the adults, if all that festive cheer gets a bit overwhelming, don’t worry, you can get some quiet time in the adults-only areas.

It may be a little too hot to wear a Disney Christmas sweater but make like Braeden and get yourself a Disney Christmas t-shirt instead. You’re sure to make some magical family memories and get some lovely photos with your favourite Disney characters to boot.
If Braeden was writing this he’d say, “what are you waiting for?”. Check out the itineraries and booking details on the the Disney Cruise Line AUNZ website.
We were hosted for breakfast but the fabulous smiles and enthusiasm from Braeden are all his own doing.
