Welcome aboard, Kelly! Congratulations on booking your very first cruise with Disney! It looks like you're just about to set sail! I'm excited for you to experience all the magic of cruising with Captain Mickey!
First time cruisers with Disney Cruise Line will not receive a lanyard for their Key To The World Card. However, once you're done with your very first cruise, you'll automatically be a
Castaway Club member. Castaway Club members do receive lanyards and other goodies on their sailings, based on club level: Silver (after your first cruise), Gold (after your fifth cruise), and Platinum (after your 10th cruise). So, until then, it's a great idea to bring along a lanyard or purchase one onboard. If you're visiting the Walt Disney World Resort prior to sailing, you'll have plenty to choose from in the shops there, or just wait until the first night onboard when the shops on the Fantasy open and you can purchase a cruise-themed lanyard. Or, check out
ShopDisney.com for a selection before your trip!
Guests are not given travel mugs for use onboard, however, you'll see that many guests bring their own or purchase one in the
gift shops onboard so they can make good use of the self-serve soft drink stations on the pool deck. I'm not a soda girl, but I use mine for coffee. My kids love to use theirs to fill halfway with soft serve from
Eye Scream Treats and then top off with Coke for a Coke float to take to the
Broadway style shows each night.
Let us know how else we can help, Kelly! Happy cruising!
