The Disney Cruise is the best, it is great even if you don't have children. They do have some adult only areas, including little night clubs. So if you are wanting to avoid little kids for a while, that is a good idea. Palos is the adult only restaurant, but if you don't have a reservation quickly you likely won't get in. They do have an adult only pool as well.
The shows are really great and the main thing you shouldn't miss. They have different activities during that day that you can try, or you can just sit back and relax.
The staff on the Disney Cruise is one of the best I've experienced. I'm not sure of your party size, if you have a smaller party, you may be put at a table with another party. Sometimes it sparks a good friendship, other times it is an uncomfortable situation. If you don't like the people you sit with, you can always request to be moved.
If you have children they have tons of kids clubs. Most of the time, kids are so happy in the clubs that they leave in the morning and don't come back to late at night.
Be careful when on the ship. It really isn't a good idea to walk around a lone, expecially at night and in places that aren't very busy. If you decide to have a few drinks, be careful and if possible stay away from the outside decks.
Be sure to where you sun screen, especially on the islands. If you don't already have it, be sure to get trip protection. It is especially important when taking a cruise.
and
HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
You are going to have a blast. Disney is still one of my favorite cruise lines. Enjoy the cruise!
Bon voyage!

Don't listen to that first entry by that sunny_fluff person. Disney Cruises are amazing. There are not screaming brats on their. It is a fantastic cruise. Yeah go to the adult only club like Sessions, Diversions, or Rockin' Bar D. They are excellent places onboard the Disney Magic. I also recommend you get reservations to Palo. Palo is an adult only Italian themed restaurant. Also the Vista Spa is an excellent place for you to just kick back, relax, and get a massage. Or you can just relax up on the 9th or 10th decks on a beach chair. There is also and adult only pool with 2 or 4 hot tubs ( I can't remember at this time). It also has Signals Bar, Cove Cafe, and Outlook Bar right next to it just for adults. Exactly, Disney Cruises are not just for kids. It has as many things for adults to do as there is for kids. Go to the Disney Cruise website for more info.
I hope you have a great time on your first Disney Cruise.
Take my advice and you will remember your Disney Cruise forever.

Dining
Imagine enjoying a totally different dining experience at each of three uniquely themed restaurants. Parrot Cay delivers a taste of the islands with a Caribbean beat. Fine food teams up with classic Disney animation at Animator's Palate. On the Disney Magic, Lumi're's provides an elegant dining experience.
One thing doesn't change -- your personal wait staff goes with you as you travel from one innovative dining experience to another, so you are assured night after night of impeccable Disney service.
And exclusively for adults, a reservation at romantic Palo guarantees unsurpassed cuisine with a 270 ocean view.
Parrot Cay
You can almost hear the waves lapping at the shore and the wind rustling the palm trees as delicious island-inspired cuisine arrives to the beat of colorful Caribbean rhythms.
Animator's Palate
You won't believe your eyes as this magical restaurant transforms itself from stunning black and white to brilliant hues of color as your meal progresses. Layer upon layer of color is added to the accompaniment of synchronized music, and classic scenes from Disney's cherished animated films play during this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Palo
A toast: To the most incredible view anywhere -- and an intimate setting reserved exclusively for adults. Palo features stellar Northern Italian cuisine and an exceptional wine cellar. From appetizer to espresso, romance is in the air. (Reservations required)
Lumi're's
Aboard the Disney Magic', diners will be treated to an enchanting meal with a French accent in Lumi're's, named for the elegant candelabra in "Beauty and the Beast."
Entertainment
Leave it to the world's greatest entertainers to bring you the world's greatest entertainment. The Walt Disney Theatre offers a magnificent tribute to the grand theatrical palaces of yesteryear, with live original Disney stage productions. Non-stop sports action is the name of the game at ESPN Skybox. Movie buffs can enjoy new releases and Disney classics at the Buena Vista Theatre. Or go to the Internet Cafe for access to the cyber world while you're at sea.
The Promenade Lounge serenades you with live pop music and your favorite libation. And Studio Sea is a nightspot featuring games and music the whole family will enjoy. When the sun goes down, adults head for Beat Street on the Disney Magic, and Route 66 on the Disney Wonder. From an intimate piano bar to a Top 40-dance club, or a pub filled with sing-along laughs, the action never stops on the high seas.
The Walt Disney Theatre
Whether you're on the Disney Magic or the Disney Wonder, this 1,022-seat theatre spans three decks on the ship and offers a dramatic setting for original Disney productions with state-of-the-art staging, lighting and special effects. The theatre features a variety of shows done the Disney way.
Welcome Aboard Variety Show

Or just soak in all the energy and suspense as a member of the audience. Players get a chance to win prizes and onboard credits.
Hercules -- A Muse-ical Comedy
Relive all the magic of the Disney animated feature in a live stage show. It's a vaudevillian-style salute to the ancient strongman including great music from the Disney movie of the same name.
Morty the Magnificent
A magician and his traveling troupe get a little help from a familiar friend. You'll recognize the famous Sorcerer's Apprentice on this original production as you discover how truly magical the Disney Magic can be!

Internet Cafe
Here you can find a cozy corner to relax and surf the Web, access a shipboard e-mail account or find out more about the ports on all the Disney Cruise Line vacations. You can also access news and scores from ABCNews.com and ESPN.com. You can even e-mail a short Web video of yourself to your friends.
Studio Sea
A nightclub for families. That's the idea behind Studio Sea. Test your Disney IQ in a hilarious game show called Mickey Mania. Grab the mike on Karaoke Night. Head for the dance floor and strut your stuff. There's something different happening every night of the week. So grab the kids and set sail for full-out fun!
Beat Street
Find your nightlife groove on the most happening strip on the ship. Whether it's Beat Street on the Disney Magic or Route 66 on the Disney Wonder, our entertainment districts offer three awesome clubs sure to suit your night-life tastes. Spend a night on the town and take the elevator home.
Rockin' Bar D
This is the kind of place you might remember from a cross-country trip, when you and a friend stopped in a little honky tonk for a drink and ended up having the time of your lives. That roadhouse feeling is alive and well at Rockin' Bar D, where you'll find live rock 'n roll bands that bring down the house every night.
Off-Beat
Watch the hilarious banter between these two top-shelf musicians as they bring the house down. These dueling pianists will have you rolling in the galleys. It all adds up to a side-splitting night of sing-a-long comedy and crowd participation.
Sessions
Settle into an overstuffed armchair and relax to the soothing sounds of the piano in this jazz club where the mood is always mellow and the music is just right. You'll find all your favorite specialty coffees, plus the finest champagnes, wines, liqueurs and aperitifs. There's even a selection of gourmet caviar. Go for the music, stay for the ambiance.
Activities
Only a Disney Cruise Line vacation gives you so many ways to play together, and separately. With practically an entire deck devoted to kids, there's non-stop fun each day from 9 a.m. to midnight for five distinct age groups. Kids ages 3 to 7 make magic at Disney's Oceaneer Club. Kids 8 to 12 explore the universe at Disney's Oceaneer Lab. Teens enjoy their own private hangout at a New York-style coffeehouse called Common Grounds. And with your kids practically begging to join their new friends each day, you might be tempted to engage in a little fun of your own, from relaxing in an adult-only pool area, to daily activities like wine-tasting or cooking demonstrations
