You know what they say: the more, the merrier! But when you’re planning a Disney Cruise with a large party, it can sometimes be hard to find the right accommodations.

Disney Cruise Line offers some of the largest staterooms in the cruise industry, but you’re still dealing with restricted real estate.

Even though Disney Cruise Line staterooms have been designed with families in mind, it’s still not a one-size, fits-all situation. Since families come in different sizes, luckily, so do Disney Cruise Line staterooms.

We’ve poured through the blueprints and manifolds, the square feet, the beds and bathrooms to find the best staterooms for families of five.

Disney Magic and Wonder

These sister ships offer four main categories of staterooms:

• • Concierge
    • Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah
    • Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite with Verandah
    • Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah
  • Verandah
    • Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
    • Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
    • Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah
  • Oceanview
    • Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom
  • Inside
    • Deluxe Inside Stateroom
    • Standard Inside Stateroom

For families of five, you’ll book the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, This stateroom has 304 square-feet of space, a  queen bed, single sleeper sofa, wall pull-down bed, and upper berth pull-down bed. Enough beds to sleep a family of 5! You can book this as a basic stateroom or in the concierge level (for a bit more dough).

The Concierge 1-Bed Suite with Verandah is a luxurious 614 square feet and offers a separate bedroom with a  queen bed; double sleeper sofa in living room; and a wall pull-down single bed in living room. This option also sleeps five, but offers a bit more elbow room.

And, of course, the most lavish of all the Magic and Wonder staterooms, the Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah. If you have a decadent vacation budget, this could be the choice for you! This suite is 1,029 square feet, 2 bedrooms, and sleeps up to 7!
