    My family’s passports expired and we’ve planned a cruise that’s 6 weeks away. Just incase we don’t get our passports in time, what other documents will Disney accept?

    Ahoy there, Rola!

    Welcome back to planDisney! I love that you’re thinking ahead and having a backup plan ready, just in case your passports decide to move at the speed of Flash from Zootopia instead of Lightning McQueen!

    The good news is that your upcoming 4-night voyage aboard the Disney Destiny gives you a great backup option. For U.S. citizens sailing on a closed-loop cruise (one that begins and ends at the same U.S. port), Disney currently accepts an original state-issued birth certificate (no photocopies) along with a physical government-issued photo ID for guests ages 16 and older in place of a passport. Digital IDs are not accepted. If you're traveling with children who are 15 years old or younger, they only need their original state-issued birth certificate and do not need to present a photo ID.

    My crew and I recently sailed aboard the Destiny, and I know you're in for an unforgettable adventure! If you're planning to use a DisneyBand+, don't miss The Haunted Mansion: Happy Hunt. It was one of my favorite interactive experiences onboard because it combines a little mystery, a little mischief, and a whole lot of Disney magic.

    I hope this helps as you count down the days until you step aboard the Destiny! Before you know it, you'll be trading passport worries for sea breezes, Broadway-caliber entertainment, and plenty of magical memories with your crew.

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