Hello Jeannette! Welcome aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am thrilled you will be taking your first Disney Cruise this year! What an incredible gift to set sail with Captain Mickey on a Very Merrytime Cruise. Spending the holidays on the high seas is a magical way to celebrate the season! I am sure you are making a list and checking in twice to be sure this cruise checks off all the boxes on your wish list this year.
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a great gift for anyone on the nice list! You can book reservations for this royal treatment and any other onboard activities once your cruise is paid in full and you have reached your advance booking window date. The timing of your
advance booking window depends on your Castaway Club level. First time guests on Disney Cruise Line can unwrap advanced reservations 75 days prior to their sail date, Silver Castaway Club members can book 90 days prior to their sail date, Gold Castaway Club members can book 105 days prior to their sail date and finally Platinum Castaway Club members and Concierge guests can book 120 days prior to their sail date.
Coordinating a princess transformation with other onboard fun like Optional Dress Up Night and Pirate Night is an art! Typically on a five night cruise Pirate Night is on Castaway Cay day and your Optional Dress Up night is on your first day at sea (day two on your sailing). This schedule is subject to change so be sure to check your Personal Navigator newsletter found in your stateroom daily or the
Disney Cruise Line Personal Navigator App for details.
Jeannette, be sure to sail by with any additional questions you may have. We are happy to help! Bon voyage! Angie
