    We are booked on a 3-day Bahama cruise Jan 7th and we are so excited! My 4-year old and 2 year old will love to meet the characters. Is there an opportunity to dine with characters on this cruise?

    Dining with characters is offered on cruises that are at least 7 nights. However, you'll have plenty of opportunity to introduce your children to some favorite Disney friends.

    On my last cruise, Minnie greeted in the terminal. Once on board, dial 7-PALS for a character schedule or visit the information board in the Lobby Atrium.

    Some Character Meetings aboard the ship are designated for photos only and autographs are not allowed at these sessions due to time constraints in allowing guests to get to their dinner seating, etc.

    Children may also encounter characters during events in the Oceaneer Club such as Do Si Do with Snow White.  If your older child participates in the Oceaneer Club, he/she will have the opportunity to join the Friendship Rocks show, sharing the stage with Mickey and Minnie! This has been a highlight for our family.
     
    There are many characters in the Sail-Away Celebration and evening shows in the Walt Disney Theatre, but the characters that actually greet guests (subject to change) include:

    Minnie, Goofy, Mickey, Wendy Darling, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Aladdin, Stitch, Max, Chip, Dale, Snow White, Cinderella, Captain Hook, Belle and Captain Hook.

    On Castaway Cay,  look in front of the Post Office and across from Scuttle's Cove for more Disney pals. I waited patiently while my son had a photo taken with Jack Sparrow in front of the Flying Dutchman. Then, I posed with the Captain too! You'll also find Captain Jack greeting passengers aboard the ship on Pirates IN the Caribbean night.

    Other character sightings include a Character Dance Party in the gazebo on Castaway Cay and on the ship's gangway upon return to the ship in the late afternoon.

    Have a magical vacation!
