Ahoy there, Bryan! Welcome aboard planDisney!
Looks like you've discovered the benefits of purchasing
onboard credit to use while on your Disney Cruise Line vacation! Aside from being super convenient, it's a great way to stick to a budget - or at least attempt to - while on vacation!
While you may be feeling a bit like you're staring into a wishing well and not even hearing an echo - rest assured that your onboard credit will be applied to your folio! If you'd like to see it with your own eyes before you embark, the only way to do so is to
get in touch with a Disney Cruise Line crew member! You have the option to call or chat the helpful crew, and they should be able to verify your Onboard Credit balance for you! Now remember, we're still dealing with lengthy wait times at the moment when we need to contact the crew, so if you're planning to call, I'd pack a shipload of patience!
If you can wait until you're aboard, your folio will be visible in the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app as well! This is always a great way to double-check how your spending progresses through your sailing. It also can help you keep a weather eye on the charges to your stateroom made by other Guests in your party that may have charging privileges on their Key to the World card and have been strutting around like Sisu shopping for a gift in Talon saying, "Oh, it's ok - I'm using credit!"
I hope that helps put you at ease a bit, Bryan, as you continue counting down the days to your incredible vacation! In just a few more weeks, you'll be sailing with Captain Minnie and her crew! Thank you so much for your question, and if any others seem to come up on the horizon as you continue planning, please sail my way again here at planDisney!
Fair winds and following seas!
Andrew
