Ahoy there, Arlene! Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your question. I hope you and your family are getting excited for your upcoming cruise!
The
shops on the ship will have pins and magnets to celebrate your son's first Disney cruise. Availability of items varies from sailing to sailing, and the items will be charged to your stateroom account. Since he is a first-time cruiser, you may want to purchase a lanyard for him to put his pin on. In the shops, you will find a variety of items, from beach toys to t-shirts to over-the-counter medication.
Don't forget to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before you make your way to the port. Once you are onboard, you will see your
rotational dining schedule and
onboard activities in the app. Also, keep your
citizenship documentation in your carry-on bag because you will need to physically present it at the cruise terminal. I like to keep my portable phone charger, medication, and sunscreen with me in my carry-on bag as well.
Arlene, I hope you have the best Disney Cruise Line vacation ever! If you ever need any other Disney vacation planning help, come back to visit
planDisney.
Bon Voyage!
