Hello Nicole!
Thanks for writing. How exciting that your first Disney Cruise is only a few months away! I remember counting down to my first cruise when my boys were younger. We made a "paper chain" and ripped the days off as the cruise approached. They got so excited as the chain got shorter and shorter!
In preparation for your sailing I recommend that you visit the
Disney Cruise Line site to review the important cruise documents you will need. For what are known as "closed-loop" sailings that begin and end in the same United States port, passports are highly recommended, but not mandatory. In the unlikely event of an emergency, by having a United States passport, you could fly home with no concern. If you chose not to obtain passports, I would recommend stopping by the
Passport and Travel Documentation site to learn about other acceptable forms of identification, including an original or copy of a state-issued birth certificate.
Once I sailed on my first Disney Cruise Line voyage with my boys, I was hooked and quickly reserved a sailing on a European voyage, so was glad I had already secured passports for all of us.
I hope you have a Fantasy-filled voyage!
