If your family needs SPACE on a Disney Cruise, the Hero Royal Suite aboard the Disney Destiny takes family cruising to another level.

And as a HUGE Hercules fan, I may be a little biased when I say this suite is absolutely incredible.

The Hercules-inspired Hero Royal Suite is 1,507 square feet including the balcony and sleeps up to SIX guests. For families, the setup is pretty hard to beat:

* Two separate bedrooms with king-size beds
* THREE bathrooms
* Spacious living and dining areas
* A kitchenette
* Tons of storage
* Floor-to-ceiling windows
* A private verandah with your own whirlpool spa

This is what makes it such an amazing option for larger or multigenerational families—you can vacation together while still having plenty of space to spread out and relax.

And the Hercules details throughout? As someone who got to see this suite in person, I was OBSESSED.

If you’re looking for a true bucket-list Disney Cruise experience for your family, the Hero Royal Suite might just be it.

Hot take: If you’re visiting Niagara Falls, WALK to Canada instead of driving!

I took the pedestrian walkway across the Rainbow Bridge from the American side to the Canadian side, and it was SO easy. The walk was maybe 7 minutes, it’s completely paved, and going through customs on foot was simple.

Meanwhile, the traffic trying to drive back into the United States? CRAZY. Walking saved me so much time and hassle.

A few things to know before you go:

* You DO need your passport to cross into Canada and return to the U.S.
* You’ll go through customs and declare what you’re bringing with you.
* There is a $1.25 pedestrian toll when walking back into the United States.

Plus, you get some pretty incredible views of the Falls from the bridge along the way!

Travel advisor tip: Sometimes the easiest transportation option is your own two feet!

There were stairs for the adults… but where’s the fun in that?!

Of COURSE I had to take the slide down into the Oceaneer Club on the Disney Destiny!

And let me tell you, the kids clubs on this ship absolutely BLEW. MY. MIND. I’m pretty sure I wanted to hang out there all day just as much as the kids would.

This is just a tiny sneak peek because I have SO much more to share about these AMAZING spaces. More Disney Destiny kids club content coming soon!

And now for the STAR OF THE SHOW and the main reason for my trip down to Fort Lauderdale… THE DISNEY DESTINY!

Part of Disney Cruise Line’s Wish Class, the Destiny is an absolute DREAM for anyone who loves heroes and villains. The ship has a strong Marvel influence with incredible nods to heroes and villains throughout—and I’m pretty sure my jaw was on the floor for the ENTIRE tour.

And then there was my personal favorite… the Hercules-themed Hero Suite. If you know me, you KNOW Hercules is my favorite, so I was basically done for at that point.

We toured the staterooms, restaurants, lounges, entertainment spaces and SO much more. We even got to eat at Marceline Market, and you better believe I tried a little bit of EVERYTHING. Research, obviously.

The theming. The details. The restaurants. The entertainment. The HEROES. The VILLAINS. This ship absolutely blew me away.

I think I officially know what my next Disney Cruise is going to be…

What about yours? Would you sail on the Disney Destiny?
