    What is the deadline to cancel port excursions

    Ahoy there, Lisa! 

    Welcome aboard planDisney! It sounds like you're in the final countdown to embarkation day, and that's when the excitement really starts to build! Let's make sure you're all squared away when it comes to your Port Adventures.

    The good news is that refundable Port Adventures can generally be modified or canceled up to 3 days before your sailing without any cancellation fees. If an excursion is non-refundable, Disney will let you know during the booking process, so it's always worth taking a quick look at the cancellation details before you confirm your reservation.

    If you find yourself inside that 3-day window and your plans change, don't give up hope just yet! Once you're onboard, stop by the Port Adventures Desk and speak with a Cast Member about your options. While refunds within that window aren't guaranteed, they may be able to accommodate your request if there's a waitlist and another Guest is able to take your place.

    One tip that's worked well for my family is to open the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app as soon as we arrive at the cruise terminal and connect to the ship's Wi-Fi. More than once we've seen an onboard activity that was previously sold out suddenly become available. It's a little like watching Genie pop out of the lamp, sometimes a little Disney magic appears when you least expect it!

    I hope this helps you chart the perfect course for your sailing. Here's hoping every Port Adventure is filled with unforgettable memories, beautiful views, and maybe even a little unexpected Disney magic along the way.

    Sea ya real soon with sunshine on deck and fireworks lighting up the night sky,
