Hi, I’m Sarah — and if you’ve stumbled across this page, I have a feeling this vacation might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. ✨

I’m the founder of Chara Vacations. Chara is the Greek word for joy — and helping families reconnect in joy through Disney Cruise vacations is my whole purpose. 🚢

I’ve personally sailed DCL 12 times, achieved Platinum Castaway Club status, and as part of a Diamond Earmarked agency 💎 I have direct access to Disney Cruise Line support that gets you faster and more accurate answers than Google, AI, or any Facebook group ever could.

Oh and I genuinely have the best job ever — I get to help you plan the vacation of your life without asking you for a single thing in return. An Enneagram 2’s dream. 😄 I get paid, just not by you. 💙

Here’s the twist though — I was the LAST person you’d expect to end up here. Not a Disney kid. Motion sickness had cruising on my absolute never list. A Disney Cruise was genuinely the farthest fetch possible. 😂

Someone talked me into it anyway. And it changed everything.

So when you come to me with doubts or “we’re not really Disney people” — I am not just nodding along. I have been exactly where you are. 🚢✨

Whether you’re a first timer, a mom who needs a vacation where SHE actually rests too, or someone who never expected to consider a Disney Cruise —

Hi. I’m your girl. 😄

Concierge level service, bestie energy, zero cost to you. DM me “CRUISE” to get started — even if you’re just curious. Especially if you’re just curious. 💙🚢

Let’s not forget the whole point 😮‍💨 Just booked my family on the Disney Believe this morning 🚢 And although I am STOKED to cry in the Walt Disney Theatre at the end of Encanto, that’s not why I booked it. We will gladly spend our hard-earned money and travel resources because of the laughter, the jaw-dropping moments, and the best crew in the world that we will experience onboard. These are the memories we talk about around the dinner table for years to come. ✨

We now have more ships, departure ports, itineraries, and dates than EVER for your family to experience the magic for yourselves. 🪄

A huge thanks to @bestdayevervacay for sending me to the reveal event 🙏🏼 I felt so honored to be in that room representing the BEST agency ever ✨🤩

Comment below a magical moment you’ve had onboard a Disney ship 🥹

We had the best day learning all about the Disney Believe! 🚢✨

Highlights:
✨ Maiden Voyage 12/18/26
✨ Sailing out of Port Everglades
✨ 4 and 5 night sailing durations
✨ Tangled AND Encanto stage shows 🙌🏼

Surprises that we aren’t sure how we feel about:
✨ Main Dining: Oakens Family Table 🤔

Sailings are available to book for the general public on October 19th (Castaway Club tiered dates before then!) 🚢 Itineraries are live now!

I honestly think this ship is going to be absolutely beautiful 🤩 I cannot wait until December of 2027!

If you’re ready to get your Disney Believe sailing on the books for the best possible price, comment Believe below and let’s get chatting! ✨🙌🏼

Thanks to @bestdayevervacay for letting us represent at this event, and to @disneycruiseline for hosting us! I’m more in love with DCL than ever 🤩

Sometimes I get so excited reading predictions and imagining what space will go where that I forget that we’re also getting 🚢 SAILING INFORMATION 🚢

🌟 Maiden Voyage Date
🌟 Home Port
🌟 Ports of Call
🌟 Duration of Sailings

What do you think? Will the Believe be another Port Canaveral ship sailing the Caribbean - or will she be spicy? 🌶️

I wouldn’t be mad if she was a little spicy ✨👏🏼

We are locked and loaded ready to learn ALL of the details about the Disney Believe! 🚢 ✨

My spicy predictions:
🌶️ The maiden voyage sails out of New York 🍎
🌶️ Encanto is the stage show production, not a main dining room restaurant 🙌🏼
🌶️ The Marvel restaurant isn’t continued on this 4th Wish class ship 😬

Stay tuned to hear the updates as soon as they’re released! Let’s be honest, no matter what they say, I’m ready to book 🤭👏🏼

We’re so excited to represent @bestdayevervacay at this exclusive preview event ✨

Are you nervous about dropping your kids off at the kids club on a Disney cruise? I was too 🙋🏽‍♀️

✨ If your child doesn’t have a MagicBand, the club gives them a band that tracks their location inside the club. It’s HUGE in there, so when you come for pickup, counselors know exactly which room your kiddo is in.
✨ Only the adults you authorize can check them out.
✨ You’ll set a secret word that only authorized adults know for pickup.
✨ Every guest’s photo is in the system, so counselors can verify who’s picking up.
✨ If your kiddo is struggling or asks to be picked up, youth counselors will message you right in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.

➡️ My biggest recommendation? Visit during open house times. You can go inside together, and your kids get to explore everything they’ll want to come back and try later.

And that’s when the magic really happens. They get their own adventure, make new friends, and might even have a surprise moment with a character or princess 👑 All while you enjoy date time by the pool, an adults only dinner, or even a nap in your stateroom 😴

Have more questions about the kids clubs? Drop them below and I’ll answer ☺️ by @charavacations

There’s truly nothing like waking up knowing you’re getting on a Disney cruise ship today 🚢✨

A few of my embarkation day tips from this sailing:

✈️ Fly in the night before. A delayed or canceled flight should never be the reason you miss the ship.
🚌 Disney Cruise Line transportation from MCO checks you in before you even get to the port, and seeing the ship for the first time with the whole shuttle is SO fun.
💦 Board early and head to the pool. This is one of your best chances for little to no line on the AquaDuck. Sometimes you can ride it multiple times in a row!
🍔 Pool deck food is easy and fast while you wait for staterooms to open.
🚪 We sailed with my brother’s family and had connecting staterooms for the first time. It felt like double the space. 10 out of 10 recommend.
🧸 Hit the kids club open house to finish registration and let your kids explore what they want to come back and try on their own.
🦺 Muster drill is mandatory for all guests, then the whole ship heads up to the sail away party. Even if you’re not a big character fan, counting down to vacation with everyone around you is unforgettable.
🍽️ First night dinner is when you meet your dining team. They start learning what your family loves right away and customize every meal from there.
🎬 We caught a special first run of Toy Story 5, and always keep an eye out for surprise characters!

Fair warning: embarkation day is a long one. The excitement carries you all day, but you will sleep GOOD that night 😴

The countdown to October 7th is officially ON ✨

I’ll be at Walt Disney World in person when Disney Cruise Line reveals the Disney Believe, and I’m bringing you along for every detail. 💯 Stage shows, dining rooms, lounges, and the one I’m watching closest: itineraries. 🚢 Where she sails from, where she goes, and how many nights you get onboard. 🙌🏼

My honest advice as your advisor: when those sailings open, the best staterooms and the best prices go first. If a Believe sailing is on your wish list, now is the time to get on my radar, not after the rush.🔥

Comment BELIEVE and I’ll add you to my VIP Info List so you hear everything before anyone else. 🤩

Now tell me: which story are you hoping gets the stage show? I’m team Encanto all the way 💛 I would be singing every Lin Manuel Miranda worddddd🎶

Truly, I have the best job in the world. 🌍

I get to help you plan the most magical vacation — asking nothing from you in return, while I still get paid. 🥹

I get to swim in the world of Disney Cruise Line — the best vacation there is, customizable for every single member of the family. 🚢

I get to be part of your family reconnecting, away from the stress of everyday life. Watching you experience joyful moments together, laugh together, witness magical moments, and capture photos and videos that solidify these memories forever. 🥹

I get to answer your questions and watch anxiety and confusion turn into clarity, confidence, and dang exciting anticipation. 🤗

And I get to do my own “research and development” by sailing onboard as often as I possibly can 😉

Big shoutout to @disneycruiselineblog for looking up the coordinates so I didn’t have to 🤗 I’ve been holding off on getting excited for a NY Port until it wasn’t just speculation, but NOW is the time to get invested. 🙌🏼

I can’t wait to see what ships will be sailing from NY! Do you think it’ll be the Believe? A Wish class ship? 🚢

If this is the best news you’ve seen all day because it radically changes your ability to get onboard a Disney ship, comment NYC below and let’s get planning 🗽
