The Disney vlog magic is back! Join my friend Gary C and I as we set sail aboard the Disney Magic for a three night Disney Magic at Sea Staycation cruise in a one bedroom concierge suite. This new Disney Cruise Line vlog series will feature the concierge experience, Disney characters, Disney Cruise Line dining, Disney entertainment and more!

This one of a kind sailing was a new offering by Disney Cruise Line in the summer of 2021. This cruise experience includes some modified health and safety procedures, limited interactions, reduced capacity and no ports of call in-light of the UK emerging from the coronavirus pandemic. With this in mind, please note our cruise experience may differ to your own.

It's embarkation day! My longest vlog ever starts at my home in the UK as I welcome you back to the Disney vlogs and share some information about the Disney Cruise we'll be featuring in this series. After a drive down to Southamption, England, I meet up with Gary C and open some birthday presents. We then have a quick lunch at McDonalds before making our way to the new Horizon Cruise Terminal at Southamption Docks.

As we're travelling in concierge, we had an open arrival window and were automatically assigned to boarding group 1. This meant we could be some of the first guests to go through the embarkation process and board as soon as the gangway opened. As part of the embarkation process for this sailing, we had to produce proof of full vaccination against Covid-19 and take a lateral flow test to prove we were negative.

After testing negative, we were allowed to proceed to check-in and security. We briefly waited in the concierge waiting area before we were invited to board the ship. There we went up the gangway, to be welcomed aboard into the atrium on Deck 3. Once onboard, Mickey and Minnie greeted us with a welcome show (where I suitable broke down crying).

After the welcome show, we were shown to Fathoms, where cast members checked we were all set-up on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. From there we met one of the concierge hosts (José) who gave us a quick introduction to the concierge experience and told us about the welcome lunch in Rapunzel's. We then ventured up to Deck 4 midship to check-in to our muster station. It was just a case of simply scanning the signage within the Navigator app.

At the concierge welcome lunch, we enjoyed some leek and potato soup and an ice cream sundae each, before making our way up to the outside decks for a look around the youth activities (kids clubs), some pictures at the funnel, a quick meet and greet with Donald and some intial thoughts of the size differences between the Disney Magic and Disney Dream.

It was then to our one bedroom concierge suite for a room tour! This 1 bedroom suite can sleep up to five guests, features two full bathrooms (including a jacuzzi bath), minibar, sofa, wardrobe, large verandah, dining table and chairs, walk-in wardrobe, vanity, two TVs, one queen bed, one sofa bed and one single murphy (pull down) bed. We were welcomed with a glass of champagne delivered by the concierge bar team, our castaway club gifts and a fruit bowl.

From the suite room tour, we went up two floors to deck 10 to visit the concierge lounge. The lounge features coffee and tea making facilities, a soft drinks fridge and rotating selection of light bites. In the evenings, (after 5pm) a number of alcoholic beverages are available at no extra charge.

For the rest of the vlog, we meet classic Disney characters such as Captain Mickey, Captain Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Princess Tiana and Chip and Dale! We tour the Senses Spa, upper decks during the sailaway and enjoy dinner at Animator's Palate.
