Glad to hear this. My wife and I have cruised many times (mainly on Princess) and have always had a balcony that we've taken advantage of, but we've been leaning towards an inside stateroom with the kids - both for cost saving measures and also safety. I love the Dream and Fantasy animated portholes with Disney characters swimming around... I think my kids will like this a lot more than looking out a window, actually.
Though, the so-called "mini suites" on Dream and Fantasy look pretty cool...

Yes they look cool, I would like to try one if those.

A bit more money than an inside, but not much. You need to book those on day one of prices being released they go quickly.
If you are going on the Magic or wonder I can recommend the sideways ones like 6007. Deck 5 is suppose to be nicer for the sideways ones though. I was happy in ours. I think you might find catagory 10's slightly bigger, but they are lower down.
My favourite one though is a 5e aft on the fantasy. Google that to see how big the balcony is. I did have one booked, but we decided to cancel and save some money and cruise with Carnival instead. It means I get to cross the pond in 1st class and back though, so not too disheartened.
