I Spent Weeks Traveling Europe With Disney — Here's What It Was Really Like

When you're off the ship, you're having an international jaunt, but when you're back on board, it's chock-full of those Disney Cruise Line favorites, letting you cram a multicountry trip and a relaxing Disney vacation into one week. I would have been crushed to take the bus back from a picturesque excursion to Italy's Cinque Terre had I not been so looking forward to seeing Tangled: The Musical that evening or bid my time overseas adieu without a full day at sea. It's a funny juxtaposition, but being able to do both at once really feels like you've maximized your free time and spending.
