    11th disney cruise, first time as Platinum, traveling with my MIL who is Pearl. first time for either of us booking a GTY room category 9D. any idea when we will get our cabin assignment? I am usually a huge planner and pick out everything in advance

    Ahoy, Melanie!

    October has arrived, so it's time to celebrate that your sailing is NEXT month! As an experienced Castaway Club member, you know it's the best feeling to know your countdown is ticking away, especially since it's your first cruise as Platinum! I hope you and your mother-in-law have a special meal at Palo Steakhouse to commemorate this magical occasion. 

    Melanie, your comment made me smile because, as a fellow planner, I know the struggle with not having your stateroom assignment yet. I have also booked a guaranteed stateroom with Disney Cruise Line and checked daily for the magical number to appear. I've had my stateroom assigned about a month ahead of time, but most recently it was about 10 days before embarkation day. The good news is that every deck has its perks, and you may get a stateroom in an area you've never considered before. My last GTY was in a spot I hadn't stayed in, and now it's at the top of my preference list for a future sailing. If your luggage tags arrive before you are assigned, use a permanent marker to fill in the number. And don't worry, your Castaway Club gifts reflecting your new status will be awaiting you in your stateroom!

    I know you and your mother-in-law will have the most magical vacation, Melanie. It will be a special time to slow down and let the Cast & Crew take care of everything. If you have any other questions about your voyage, please feel free to reach back out to planDisney.
