Video: Disney Cruise Line Secret Porthole Staterooms, Cabin Tour of 5520

Posted on March 20, 2018January 24, 2024 by Tracy

Updated January 24, 2024

Many cruise lines have unique, secret staterooms; Disney Cruise Line is no exception. The Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder have two sets of these rooms: secret porthole staterooms and secret verandah staterooms. The secret porthole staterooms have an obstructed view, and because of the obstruction, DCL changed their category from a 9A to a 10A. To book these rooms, you’ll want to look for a Deluxe Inside Room rather than an Oceanview Room.

Secret Porthole Room 5520

We have been lucky to stay in the secret porthole stateroom twice, once on the Magic and the Wonder. The stateroom 5520 is conveniently located on deck five, four decks down from the pool deck and one or two decks up from the restaurants. It is on the same floor as the Oceaneer’s Lab and Club and the movie theatre. We love the room’s location and are lucky enough to be booked again in 2019. The only downside to this room—other than it can be difficult to book—is you can hear noise from the Walt Disney Theatre below during shows and some rehearsals.

DCL recently added two new rooms, 6006 and 6506, to the secret porthole category. The other secret porthole rooms are 5022, 5024, 5522, and 5524 on the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. They are one floor up, which would prevent the noise from the theatre, but are more forward, so you may feel more motion in those rooms. What is your favourite stateroom to stay in?

Check back for more staterooms and the latest information about Disney Cruise Line, including the newest ship, the Disney Wish and the Treasure sailing later this year.
