Welcome aboard, Elaine! Congratulations on your celebratory cruise that is coming up so soon! Captain Mickey and his crew have lots of magic in store for the birthday your family will be celebrating aboard the
Disney Dream!
I have celebrated two amazing birthdays aboard Disney Cruise Line's pixie-dusted ships, and they have been the best ones yet! On my last birthday, my friends surprised me by pre-ordering birthday decorations for our stateroom. When my family and I opened the stateroom door that first day, I was welcomed aboard with floor to ceiling birthday decor all over the stateroom! What a wonderful way to begin the trip! If you're interested in letting Disney decorate for you, check out the
Gifts and Amenities section of Disney Cruise Line's website to pre-order. They also offer other decor as well as specialty cakes if you'd like a fabulous cake to be delivered to your stateroom or presented at dinner one night.
You may have your own birthday decorations from home that you'd like to use in your stateroom, which is fine, but please know that
adhesives of any kind are not allowed. Magnets are fine, so if you want to use magnets to hang decor, that'll make for a fun birthday celebration. Many guests create personalized magnets to decorate the outside of their stateroom door. Besides being festive and colorful, the magnets will help you identify your stateroom door in a long hallway of identical doors.
Have a great time counting down until it's time to head out to sea! Have a magical cruise, Elaine!
