    What is the countdown on my app as it states 21 but we don’t leave until August , my bookings are on there so seems all details are correct just not this countdown

    Ahoy there, Donna. Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for taking the time to stop by with your question for us. 

    My family and I love counting to our vacations. Even if they’re booked way in advance, it is always so nice to have something fun to look forward to. We particularly enjoy the countdown feature on the Disney Cruise Line Navigation App. 

    I did some date calculations based on your sail date and the day you submitted your question to us. There are approximately 210 days prior to your sail date of August 25, 2025. The cute thing about the countdown on the Disney Cruise Line Navigation App is that it uses Disney characters' faces as zero’s. I believe you saw 21, followed immediately by a Disney character's face. That is to signify 210 days. Woohoo! It’s a nice touch of Disney, but I can see it can be confusing if that was unexpected. 

    Speaking of the App, it is such a handy dandy Mouseketool prior to and during your sailing. You can use it before your cruise to track how many days before Embarkation Day (which you’ve already been doing), reserve onboard activities when your booking window opens, and even complete your online check-in when it’s time. Once you’re onboard, you can hop onto the Disney Cruise Line WiFi and use the chat feature to stay connected with others on the ship. You’ll also be able to see what activities, such as crafts, trivia, and character experiences, are scheduled throughout the day. I particularly like being able to view the menus to see what we’ll be treated to at dinner

    I hope this information is helpful and reassuring for you. I wish you the most magical sailing this summer. If you have more trip-planning questions, please don’t hesitate to stop by planDisney again.

    Bon voyage,
    Kiki
