    How do I book excursions

    Ahoy there, Baylea! Welcome aboard, planDisney! 

    Excursions, or “Port Adventures" as they’re known in the Disney cruise world, are one of the best, most fun, and memorable parts of a Disney cruise! They help build those magical memories and adventures, and make for some of the best vacation experience stories when you come back home! 

    You may book your Port Adventures either on the Disney Cruise Line website or the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. To start, your reservation should be entered into either one. Even though you may have already done it, I’ll walk you through it, just in case. You may add your Disney cruise reservation by tapping “Add Reservation” and then entering the reservation number, birthdate, and last name of one guest in your stateroom (such as your own). 

    Now that your reservation is entered, you have one more task before booking those awesome Port Adventures: you must wait for your booking window to open, which is determined by your Castaway Club status. Once your booking window opens, you can add the desired Port Adventure by going into your reservation, either on the Disney Cruise Line website or the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App, and then tapping “My Plans”. From there, choose the port day you’d like to reserve the Port Adventure for, and then tap “Port Adventures” and select the one you desire. Then Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, you’re on your way to magical adventures! 

    Since some Port Adventures are super popular, I suggest reserving them as soon as your booking window opens. 

    If you’re unsure of what some Port Adventures entail, and want to learn more about them in detail while at home, the Disney Cruise Line website does a great job explaining each one, even adding in some recommendations of what to bring along, etc. All you need to do to find this information is search for your port destination on the Disney Cruise Line website and then navigate to “Port Adventures” for each one.

    If you have questions about your Port Adventure once on board your cruise, you may also stop by the Port Adventures Desk, and they will be happy to assist you. 

    Baylea, I hope you feel better equipped to book those Port Adventures now. I wish you the most exciting memories ahead! Please sail back to planDisney if you have any more questions.
