    I will be on the Dream 12/26. Is there somewhere I can look over the possible choices to book prior to my booking window opening so I won't need to waste time while others don't?

    Hello, Duane!

    Welcome to planDisney. I sailed on the Disney Dream with my planDisney friends last year, and we had an incredible experience! We enjoyed the Very Merrytime Cruise, which compelled me to book a placeholder for a future cruise with my family. The Disney Cruise Line Onboard-Only Offer can only be reserved while onboard a Disney Cruise and offers a discount for select future cruises. It is the perfect excuse to sail again!

    It looks like we may be a little too late to offer assistance with planning your Port Adventures and Onboard Activities since your booking window most likely opened a couple of days ago. First-time Guests can book experiences 75 days before their sail date. I am sorry! I hope you were able to reserve a few fun experiences! For future reference, information about Port Adventures can be found on the Port Adventures page on the Disney Cruise Line website. Scroll down to "Port Adventures by Destination" to search for options for your cruise. Select the region, choose "Ports of Call," and pick one of your destinations. You can filter your search results by activity level, type of experience, accessibility, and price range. 

    Details about Onboard Activities can also be found on the Disney Cruise Line website. View the Onboard Activities page and choose "Disney Dream" from the "Ships" drop-down menu. Dining in Palo is always at the top of my list. This adults-only restaurant has amazing food, making it a perfect date experience! I also enjoy the Beverage Tasting Seminars, and my kids love receiving royal makeovers at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

    Not all experiences are available on every cruise, but these pages will show what options might be offered. I make a list of my top three Port Adventures in each port and my top two Onboard Activities each day in case my first choices are not available during my booking window. Don't despair if any of your preferred activities were unavailable when your booking window opened! Keep checking the Navigator app, as Guests often cancel plans. You can also stop by Guest Services on embarkation day to see if they have any openings.

    Duane, enjoy your magical cruise! We hope to see you real soon!

    Happy sailing!
