Ahoy there, Richard! I'm happy to welcome you aboard the most magical panel on Earth — planDisney!
How exciting that you're setting sail on a Disney Cruise with your grandson! That sounds like an incredible adventure that will be filled with magical moments and meaningful time together. From exploring the beautiful
ports of call to soaking up all the fun and
entertainment onboard, you're bound to create lasting core memories together. What a special way to bond and share the magic of Disney — it's sure to be a vacation you'll treasure for years to come!
Let's make sure your grandson has all the necessary travel documents for your Disney Cruise Line adventure! For your upcoming trip, there are specific requirements he'll need in order to disembark at these ports. Since he's under 16, he'll need to present an
original or certified copy state-issued birth certificate; a government-issued photo ID isn't required for minors under 16.
While a passport isn't mandatory for closed-loop cruises, it's a good idea to have one in case of any unforeseen circumstances that might include air travel back to the U.S.
Additionally, because you're his grandparents and not his parents or legal guardians, you'll need to have a completed
Minor Authorization Form signed by his parent (s) or legal guardian (s).
Ensuring you have all the necessary documentation will greatly help with facilitating a smooth boarding and disembarkation process.
Richard, I hope this information is helpful! I'm genuinely so excited for you to have this special time with your grandson. I truly believe that shared experiences are the most meaningful gifts we can give our loved ones, and this trip is sure to be a memory you both will cherish for a lifetime.
Make waves of memories,
