The Disney Magic was the first official Disney Cruise Line ship to set sail.

The Magic set a lot of trends, broke a ton of cruising barriers and stereotypes, and is still one of the most magical cruises to have ever sailed the seas!

We’re taking a look at ALL of the staterooms onboard the Disney Magic cruise ship. 

Disney Cruise Line staterooms are some of the largest in the industry. This will be your home away from home for 3-7+ days, so be sure to explore the features of the different stateroom categories. You may prefer an inside cabin or one with a verandah. If luxury is your style, then consider the concierge level for your magical Disney voyage.

Let’s look at some of the facts and figures of the Disney Magic:

• The Magic is Disney’s first Cruise Line ship, which set sail on its maiden voyage on June 30, 1998
• It is 984 ft long (the same height if you laid the Eiffel Tower on its side!)
• It is 171.5 ft tall (almost as tall as the Leaning Tower of Pisa!)
• Holds 2,713 passengers
• Has 875 Staterooms
  • 10 stateroom categories
  • 262 inside staterooms (30%)
  • 613 outside staterooms (70%)
    • 229 oceanview staterooms
    • 384 staterooms with a verandah (including 22 suites)

There are four main categories of staterooms, and all of the rooms fall within one of those categories: Concierge, Verandah, Oceanview, and Inside. Let’s take a look at each category, starting with the least expensive and working our way up!

Inside Staterooms

The base accommodations are Inside Staterooms, which feature a classic nautical motif, porthole mirror, and no exterior view.

Deluxe Inside Stateroom (Category 10A-C)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4
• Size: 214 sq. ft.
• View: No exterior view

These are all inside staterooms, but this is considered the “deluxe” choice. At 214 sq. ft., these staterooms sleep 3 to 4. Each room contains one queen bed (or two twin beds), a single convertible sofa, and a split-bathroom design.

Standard Inside Stateroom (Category 11A-C)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4
• Size: 184 sq. ft.
• View: No exterior view

These categories represent the least expensive staterooms on the ship and are also the smallest staterooms. Besides size, the major difference between this category and other categories on this ship is that these staterooms do not have the split-bathroom design of the others.

Oceanview Staterooms

These staterooms provide more space than Standard staterooms and 0ffer scenic vistas through a real porthole window—or possibly 2!

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom (Category 9A-D)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4
• Size: 214 sq. ft.
• View: One large porthole window or 2 small porthole windows

These staterooms are considered deluxe oceanview staterooms (meaning they have a large porthole window.) The category 9 staterooms located on deck 1 have two smaller porthole windows. At 214 sq. ft., these staterooms sleep 3 (with some sleeping 4), and they are among the first categories to book on the ship.

Verandah Staterooms

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Navigators Verandah (Category 7A)

• Sleeps: 3
• Size: 268 sq. ft. including verandah
• View: Private verandah

There is little noticeable difference between other verandah staterooms. The biggest one to point out is the actual verandah. While it is the same size, it is enclosed with a very large, open-air porthole to look through. So, your views will be limited.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category 5A-C & 6A)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4
• Size: 268 sq. ft., including verandah
• View: Private verandah

There is very little difference between these two stateroom classes. For that matter, the only major difference between category 4 verandah staterooms and some of the category 5 rooms is about 30 square feet at the end of the cabin towards the verandah. Category 5 and 6 staterooms will sleep up to four people and have one split bathroom.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category 4A-E)

• Sleeps: 5
• Size: 304 sq. ft., including verandah
• View: Private verandah

These staterooms are referred to as “Deluxe Family Staterooms.” They will sleep up to five people and contain one bathroom, the shower and toilet area conveniently separated. They are spacious and comfortable, possibly one of the best options for a family that plans to spend equal time in their room and around the ship.

The only difference between a category 4 stateroom and a category 5 is about 30 square feet at the end of the cabin, just before the verandah. In this extra space is a twin murphy bed that pulls down from the wall.

Concierge Staterooms

Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah

• Sleeps: 7
• Size: 1,029 sq. ft., including verandah
• View: Private verandah

There are two bedrooms (one with queen-size bed; one with two twin beds and two pull-down upper berths), two and a half bathrooms including whirlpool tubs, living room, media library with wall pull-down bed, dining salon, pantry, wet bar, and walk-in closets.

The largest and most luxurious suites of them all. There are two on the ship; one is named after Walt Disney, and the other after his brother Roy Disney.

Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite with Verandah

• Sleeps: 7
• Size: 945 sq. ft., including verandah
• View: Private verandah

These staterooms are the second largest on the ship. There are two of them. They have the capacity to sleep up to six people and have a living area with a convertible sofa, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, including a whirlpool tub, walk-in closets, and a wet bar.

Spacious and cozy, the two bedroom suite offers a distinguished, yet comfortable option for those who desire privacy combined with luxury for their Disney Cruise.

Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah

• Sleeps: 5
• Size: 614 sq. ft., including verandah
• Room: 1 bedroom with queen-size bed, living area with double convertible sofa, single wall pull-down bed in some living rooms or bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, walk-in closet, wet bar
• View: Private verandah

Category 3 staterooms are the last category to include concierge service. These are spacious enough to sleep 5 and have 2 bathrooms, which include designer-label toiletries.

Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

• Sleeps: 5
• Size: 304 sq. ft., including verandah
• View: Private verandah

This 304-square-foot stateroom is perfect for a family of 5!  Children will love to sleep in the upper berth pull-down bed. The couch is a great place to settle in and watch TV, while someone else can get a little work done at the room’s desk.  If one person wants to head to bed early, a heavy privacy curtain separates the seating area from the sleeping area.
