With adjoining rooms the partition between verandahs can be removed. Guests should contact their stateroom host for the removal of a verandah partition. The Inside and Oceanview staterooms are all very similar, and the main differences between the stateroom categories are verandahs and split bathrooms versus single bathrooms. Regarding the available beds and storage space, there’s not much difference between non-concierge rooms.
Oceanview Staterooms on Disney Magic and Disney Wonder Category 9A, 9B, 9C and 9D
Book one of those 18 staterooms for a unique experience. Category 8 –Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom – Starting with category 8s, these staterooms no longer have a verandah. There are no category 8s on the Magic Class, only the Dream Class. Once again, the word “Family” means they are bigger staterooms that sleep up to 5 and have round tubs.
Things You May Want to Know About Disney Cruise Staterooms
There are 131 interior staterooms available on Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream. These staterooms are very popular, and often sell out more quickly than the Outside Categories. The Virtual Porthole is a video screen that projects images of the outside of the ship. And if you watch carefully you may well see some Disney characters swim across the screen.
Disney Wonder and Magic Concierge Staterooms
The higher decks are closer to the pools, the spa and the adult areas – and of course the buffet. The advantage of the lower decks is they are nearer to restaurants, shopping, and the theatre. We have sailed on many of the decks and decided it really does not make any difference to your enjoyment of your cruise. There can be hundreds of dollars difference between the same design stateroom if one is on a higher deck. The basic design is the same as the Family Verandah Staterooms but with upgraded furnishings and bedding and of course access to concierge facilities.
There is a pull-down wall double sofa bed and a pull-down single bed in the living area. They are all on Deck 8 and are identical in size and configuration to the Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah which can be found on the same deck. Concierge Dining Choices are available so that you can have your meals served in your stateroom (except Category V on the new ships).
For the ultimate in luxury and space, guests can enjoy the Walt Disney or the Roy Disney Royal Suites. At 1029 square feet you have enough room for 7 guests. We have stayed in these staterooms multiple times and they offer great space for families of up to 5.

Category 7 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah (All Disney Cruise Ships)
Then there are two closets with some built in shelves, and a set of drawers and a shelf next to the closet. There are small end table type shelves with small drawers next to the bed. The Dream and Fantasy also have coffee tables that open up for even more storage! And finally there’s a desk with drawers and some cabinets over that. As with some of the other items, concierge rooms have even more storage space than normal rooms. I also recommend you look at a deck plan before you lock in a stateroom to see where you’ll be in relation to everything else on the ship.
Interior Stateroom Disney Dream and Fantasy Category 11A, 11B and 11C
We’ve booked a variety of cabins, from the least expensive inside stateroom to a concierge 1-bedroom suite. I prefer concierge – because of course I do – but our budget doesn’t allow us to drop that kind of money every time we go on a cruise. I’ve found something to love about all the Disney Cruise Line staterooms we’ve stayed in, so let’s take a dive into the different room types. The most common situation in which you’ll find dissimilar staterooms connected occurs when one of the staterooms has a handicap accessible designation.
Inside Staterooms On Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy
I mentioned earlier that some families put their teens in an inside stateroom with the parents across the hall in a verandah or oceanview stateroom. Given the 18-and-over rule, you’ll see that this is not allowed from a booking perspective. However, once you’re actually on the ship, the rule is not enforced. This means that on the ship, family members are free to mix and match their sleeping locations among the reserved rooms. Even though it’s not booked that way, parents can sleep in one room, with the kids in another. Most stateroom attendants will automatically ask you how you want your rooms configured and where people will really be sleeping.
With the recategorization, all categories are now broken down further with letters like A, B, C, D and E. The letters generally distinguish where on the ship the staterooms are located, with the letter A being the typically most desired location – mid-ship and/or on a higher deck.

I once considered taking two of my teen daughters and a friend of theirs on a DCL cruise. While my daughters are quite close with their friend, I didn’t think she would be entirely comfortable sleeping/changing/relaxing in the same room with me (a non-family member) for a week. I wanted to get a room for the girls (again, well-behaved older teens) connected to a room for me to give everyone a measure of privacy, but Disney would not allow me to do this. A group of six or more will get error messages when trying to book the entire party into one stateroom. Any larger party will want to get familiar with the “Add Another Stateroom” button as they explore their booking options.
I have three daughters who all like to take their time in the bathroom. Even with DCL’s split-bath (shower/sink in one compartment, toilet/sink in a different compartment) arrangement, we have A LOT of grumbles about who is taking too long to get ready. And again, there is often more need to get ready on a cruise ship than their would be in some other vacation situations. Alison Meacham is the founder of EverythingMouse Disney Blog.
However, if one adult is traveling with four children, then they would not be eligible to be booked into two staterooms. On the Dream and Fantasy, their only option would be one category 8 room or a one category 4 or higher room, assuming one is available. This is true regardless of whether the rooms are connecting and regardless of the age of the children. A single parent of four teens would have to stay with them in one stateroom rather than two. Again, this allows cost savings in one room with better amenities in the other. If you instead book these folks into two inside staterooms, you can get a price of about $7,900.
When you’re on the Disney Cruise website browsing rooms, you’ll see the square footage listed, which includes the bathroom space as well as the verandah. If you just want adjacent but not connected rooms, the stateroom type combinations increase dramatically. For example, on the Dream and Fantasy, cabin 9010 is an oceanview stateroom next to (but not connected to) 9012, a stateroom with a navigator’s verandah. This could be a good combination savings and outdoor access for my family, particularly if something like the connecting door handicap room combinations were not available. Category 7 –Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah – There is a significant difference between the Dream and Magic Class category 7s. A Navigator’s verandah on the Magic Class is a mostly enclosed verandah, with a large circular or oval window-type opening cut out for viewing purposes.
The main bathroom has double sinks, a rain-style shower, and a whirlpool tub. A large walk-in closet provides plenty of space for storing your belongings. Television – There are nice televisions in all the rooms, on all the ships. They are all similar, but they are different based on which ship you are on. On the Magic and Wonder there are several channels, a few of which have Disney movies and new(ish) releases playing all day long. There’s also a view from the bridge, and an information channel showing where you’ve been, where you’re going, what’s the weather, etc.
The Category 9 Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom sleeps 3 or 4 people and is the same size as the category 10’s with a similar layout and features. The Disney Dream and Fantasy Rooms are 204 sq ft, 214 on Disney Magic and Wonder, and 218 sq ft on Disney Wish. On the Magic and Wonder ships, the 9D staterooms on deck 1 have two small portholes instead of one large porthole. Magic and Wonder’s cabins are 268 sq ft, while Dream, Fantasy, and Wish are 248 sq ft.
