Welcome to planDisney, John! Thank you for sailing by with your question.
You can check-in according to your
Castaway Club membership status:
- Pearl: 40 days prior to sail date
- Platinum: 38 days prior to sail date
- Gold: 35 days prior to sail date
- Silver: 33 days prior to sail date
- First-time cruisers: 30 days prior to sail date
You will find Online Check-in date by logging into the
Disney Cruise Line website and accessing your reservation. It will be located under Cruise Details once your cruise is paid in full.
For Online Check-in, you will need the address, contact information, emergency contact information, travel plans before and after the cruise, and simple photos from the shoulders up for each member of your traveling party. The headshots can be taken with a cell phone, but can only include one Guest in the photo at a time. The background must be simple, and make sure it's in focus. I took my photo in front of a blank wall, without my glasses on. You have up to 1 day prior to your sailing to complete the Online Check-in.
It is recommended that you print your Port Arrival Form, but it is not required. You can add it to your smartphone's mobile wallet.
John, if you have any other questions, come back to visit us at
planDisney.
Adventure is out there!
