Disney Cruise Line boasts some of the largest staterooms in the cruise industry. In addition, Disney’s bathroom layout offers the industry first split-bath configuration. The split-bath offers two separate rooms, one room having a tub/shower and a sink and the second room has a toilet and sink. This is convenient for Guests as it allows two people to get ready at the same time. The bathrooms in Concierge level deviate from this configuration and the category 11 staterooms do not offer the split-bath.
STORAGE
Disney has incorporated a clever use of storage space in their staterooms, offering even greater comfort and convenience to Guests. Most staterooms have two sliding door closets or two hinged door closets (depending on the ship), and all four ships have ample storage space beneath the bed for a few suitcases of regular size. Guests will find more storage areas with the several dresser drawers that are built into the desk area. Some staterooms on the Disney Magic offer dressers, where some cabins on the Disney Wonder offer steamer trunks.

Accessible Stateroom
I have visited the Disney Parks, (Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts) over twenty-five times, visited Aulani, and sailed nine times with Disney Cruise Line on all four ships in the fleet. Having a special needs family member places another dimension of planning for and visiting the Disney Parks and sailing with Disney, and I have to say that it is these vacations that have allowed us to see the greatest developmental improvements in our now teen aged son.
