Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
Are you looking for reviews of Disney’s Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah? These Disney Cruise Line cabins offer plenty of space for the whole family.
And, some of them even have enough room to sleep a family of 5! Whether you’re looking for spacious accommodations, a private verandah, or concierge service, the Disney Cruise Line ships provide concierge suites that will meet all your needs!
So, if you’re curious about how a concierge-level room compares to a standard stateroom, continue reading below for our full review and picture tour. We’ll provide a video of our concierge level stateroom that my family and I experienced on the Disney Magic. We will also explain the room perks and exclusive access we received as concierge guests!
Plus, you can find out how this entire experience transpired by our family upgrading at the port from a Deluxe Inside Stateroom to the Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah!
Disney Concierge Family Staterooms
Whether you are cruising on the newest Disney ships like the Disney Wish or Disney Treasure, or you’re planning a vacation on the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic or Disney Wonder, the Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms are very similar. Boasting close to 300 square feet of space, these staterooms contain two bathrooms AND extra storage space for guests.
Throughout this stateroom review, you’ll see pictures of the Disney Magic Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. The concierge level rooms on the other ships have a very similar layout; however, the interior design would differ depending on the ship you book.
Split Bathrooms
When you first walk into the stateroom, you are greeted by a narrow entryway with your stateroom closets on one side and the split bathrooms on the other. Disney Cruise Line provides two separate (aka split) bathrooms in their deluxe cabins and concierge staterooms.
One bathroom houses the toilet and a sink with vanity area. We were provided with a toothbrush holder and extra supplies like Q-tips in this bathroom.
The second bathroom has a shower/tub combo and a sink with a vanity. This shower/tub combination is one of the big draws to Disney Cruise Line if you are cruising with a baby or toddler.
The large pump bottles on the sink were provided by DCL. They included shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.
Stateroom Photos
If you continue moving through the entryway, you will enter the living space of the cabin with a bedroom and sitting area.
Each side of the queen-size bed has a small nightstand with storage and outlets to charge your devices.
The staterooms on Disney cruise ships include a heavy privacy curtain (pictured above) to use as a room divider. This thick curtain works really well to keep out light and noise from the other side of the room.
In the living room area of your stateroom, you will find a sofa and a chest for additional storage space. This couch is actually a single convertible sofa, which provides additional sleeping space for one person.
Our room also held a Murphy Bed and an extra chair, both of which you can see in the back of the above photo. The Disney cruise ship rooms that feature this Murphy Bed (along with the upper berth pull-down bed and the pull-out couch) allow the stateroom to sleep up to 5 people.
The large dresser in the room also serves as a desk and vanity. This area holds a flat screen TV, mirror, and lots of drawers and shelves.
Your stateroom refrigerator, hair dryer, and additional pamphlets and information on cruising with Disney are all located here as well.
Along with providing extra space, the verandah also holds two chairs and a small side table. This private balcony with patio furniture provides a nice area to hang out outdoors and to view the beautiful scenery you are passing by. The plexiglass railing allows you to see straight out to the ocean even while sitting down.
Disney Cruise Bunk Beds
No matter which category of room you choose with Disney Cruise Line, your stateroom host will provide a nightly turndown service. We did not need the Murphy Bed that was in our room, so our host left it closed each night.
However, he did open the bunk bed from the ceiling. This is where my six year old slept, and it was one of the highlights of the trip for her!
The stateroom hosts also leave a towel animal at the foot of the bed each night with chocolate treats. My older daughter loved returning to the room each night to see what type of animal was waiting.
Baby and Toddler Amenities
If you are traveling with a baby, the stateroom host can set up a pack-n-play for you in your room if needed.
We usually forgo the pack-n-play and just have our host put a bed rail on the pullout couch or bed for our toddler.
Cabin Storage and Organization
If you sail in a Concierge stateroom or a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, you’ll notice that they come with tons of storage space. My family of four had plenty of room for all of our things on our Disney cruise from Port of Miami.
Since the beds are elevated, you should be able to store your suitcases and bags underneath it no matter which category of room you book. We had two large suitcases and several small bags, and they ALL fit under the stateroom bed with room to spare.
I often travel with a hanging closet shelf (pictured above) for additional storage and organization. These are super easy to pack because they fold up flat and don’t take up much space in your luggage. The rest of our things fit comfortably in the available drawers and shelves in the room. In fact, we even had extra shelves we didn’t use.
One of my favorite ways to stay organized in the stateroom (or on any vacation) is by using packing cubes. Each member of my family has a set in a specific color. When I unpack our luggage, I simply take out the packing cube and lay it on a shelf or inside a drawer.
I can stack several cubes on top of each other without mixing up all of the items. So, I could put my toddler’s pajamas in her pink packing cube and my older daughter’s pajamas in her blue packing cube. Then, I can place them in the same drawer without them getting scattered and mixed.
My husband travels a lot for work, and even he said they are one of the best things I’ve ever ordered from Amazon! For a complete checklist, check out our Disney Cruise Line Packing List!
Concierge Room Amenities
The Disney Cruise Line staterooms include many amenities such as a refrigerator, hair dryer, and toiletries as mentioned above. If you are sailing Concierge, your stateroom’s refrigerator will be stocked with bottled water and canned soda.
If you are sailing in one of the concierge-level suites, your Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah will include additional amenities. Some of the extra special touches you will find are:
- two televisions (one in bedroom/one in living area)
- robes
- slippers
- fruit basket

Video Tour of Concierge Family Stateroom
This video tour is of a Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. Specifically, this is room 8076 on the Disney Magic. If you have any questions about the room, feel free to comment below, and I will be happy to give extra input!
We loved the location of this room because it was right by the stairs leading up to Cabanas and the pool deck. My only complaint would be that we could hear chairs being dragged across the floor on the Disney Magic pool deck above.
This wasn’t a huge deal for us because my toddler wakes up super early anyway. We also sleep with a noise app that helped to drown out the sound of the chairs.
Additionally, the noise from the connecting door was a slight issue during the trip. Some (not all) of the staterooms on Disney cruise ships have a door that connects them to the next room.
These adjoining staterooms come in handy if you are booking two separate rooms for your family. The downside to these connecting doors is that noise seems to travel through them more than it does through the walls.
On our last cruise, we could hear the baby in the room beside us through the adjoining door. This is just something to think about when booking your stateroom on your next cruise.
Final Review of the Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms
Disney Cruise Line does a fantastic job of providing storage space and room amenities that meet the needs of families. It is our favorite way to travel with young kids because DCL truly works to make your vacation super stress free.
I don’t think you can go wrong no matter which stateroom you choose to book. However, if you can swing a concierge level stateroom in your Disney cruise budget, you won’t be disappointed!
We hope you have a magical time on your Disney Cruise Line sailing!
