Disney without flying? ?

You can cruise home from Miami with Royal.
Not the cheapest trip and would take a long time

7 sea days to/from Southampton with Celebrity or Royal C in either April or October as the Med season starts or ends. Often via Bermuda/NYC to Fort Lauderdale or Miami and is a fab experience. Cunard sailing to/from NYC is the only option for the opposite journey.
I've had DVT's twice - age 22 after childbirth and age 60 with Pulmonary embolisms while sitting with a close family member on life support. Now on lifelong warfarin my 'clot clinic'says I'm now less at risk than other travellers - it's immobility of any kind that's the problem. We cruise but fly daytime business class flights in the opposite direction with lots of wandering about and full length surgical stockings😂

Another way to get a Disney fix without flying is to go to Disneyland Paris - I'm going there this September, getting the direct Eurostar from London.

Stick him in a shipping container. You could make it very homely for him while the rest of you fly. May take him a few weeks though to arrive.
There is always the Zodiac-Nautic Futura 3 which can go direct.

During the autumn, many cruise lines do repositioning cruises from Europe to the states - several are from Southampton. There are a few that are repositioning to the Caribbean so head over to Miami/Fort Lauderdale/Port Canaveral.
So, in theory, it's possible to do a two week repo cruise to Florida have some Disney time and then train to NYC for a one week Cunard Atlantic crossing back to Southampton. It would be a 4/5 week trip.
Transatlantic repo cruises can be relatively cheap - ours in September is £899 for 14 days (£64pppn).

All very well mentioning transatlantic cruises, but you'd need a lot of leave to do there and back by ship and have time in the parks between journeys.

So, it leaves the question ... do you want the parks, or do you want Disney?
If it's the former, then a combination of flights and stopovers may help the mindset? Like Phoebe says above, it's inactivity that makes things worse, so a long flight with stockings and lots of walking around may be better?
If it's the latter you want, then definitely a Disney cruise around the Med or Northern Europe (Norway, Russia etc) could be the way ahead.
