Disney Magic: 7-Night Cruise from San Diego - October 30, 2026

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, from 6:45 am to 3:45 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Visitors can enjoy the beaches and seaside promenades, explore art galleries and local markets, and sample regional cuisine.

The Disney Magic will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. A boat ride to the famous rock formations at the tip of the peninsula is a classic Cabo experience.

Your ship arrives in Ensenada, Mexico at 9:15 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. This main street near the port is the heart of Ensenada for visitors.

Your cruise ends in San Diego, California, where the Disney Magic is scheduled to dock at 5:30 am. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Many highlights are walkable from the port, including the waterfront, parks, and dining areas.
