Hi Stan,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for sailing by with your question. How exciting to have a magical Disney Cruise Line vacation coming up so soon!
I've enjoyed using my
DisneyBand+ aboard Disney Cruise Line. I love the ease of opening my stateroom door with just a flick of the wrist while my hands are full of soft-serve ice cream cones from
Eye Scream Treats, or merchandise from
Mickey's Mainsail. And, I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of ways that the band lights up during special moments around the ship. Currently, DisneyBand+ is the only wearable technology offering hands-free convenience on Disney Cruise Line.
Of course, you will want to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to use on your phone. You can use this handy app even before you board the ship! I love the countdown feature and being able to book
onboard activities using the app. You can also complete your
online check-in with the app. Once you board, it will help you keep all your cruise plans organized so you don't miss a thing. I like to select the heart icon next to my favorite activities and the app will send a reminder about 15 minutes before it begins to remind me.
Stan, please let us know if you have other questions before you set sail; we are happy to help!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
