Ahoy there, Debra!
Welcome aboard planDisney! So you're on the hunt for your Castaway Club origin story? I love it. Every Disney Cruise Line adventure begins with that first magical sailing, and once you're part of the
Castaway Club crew, you're officially in a club where the dress code includes flip-flops, Mickey ears, and a whole lot of pixie dust!
Luckily, finding your Castaway Club start date doesn’t require a magic wand (though it never hurts to have one handy). Just head over to the Disney Cruise Line website (don’t forget to sign in), hover over “Already Booked,” and click on “
Castaway Club.” Scroll down to “My Cruises” and find your very first sailing. The last day of that cruise is your official Castaway Club date—and the day your name was etched into the Disney Cruise Hall of Fame (well, maybe not literally, but it feels that epic!).
If the site isn’t showing what you need—or you just want to double-check—you can also
reach out to a Disney Cruise Line Cast Member by phone or through the online chat feature. They’ll be happy to look up your original Castaway date faster than Dash Parr on deck!
In my family, that first cruise will always be a “core memory” (cue Joy from Inside Out!). It was the start of something really special, and every time we sail again, we’re reminded of just how magical it felt to be part of the Disney Cruise Line family from the very beginning.
I hope this helps you rediscover the moment your Castaway Club journey began. Here’s to more ocean breezes, soft-serve swirls, and memories so magical they practically come with their own soundtrack!
Sea ya real soon as May brings sunshine, magical ports, and maybe a Mickey bar or two,
Dustin
