    How do I go about making sure my kids get pictures with the characters?

    Ahoy, Tiffany!

    One of the best things about a Disney Cruise is being able to meet and interact with some of your favorite Disney friends. Each day, you'll receive a Personal Navigator - a daily schedule of all the fun activities happening on the ship. There's a special section just for Character Appearances, where you can find times and locations for all the fun meet-and-greets. You'll also see favorite Disney friends at random times on the ship, strolling the pool deck or hanging out in the lobby. Those are my favorite moments - it's magical to encounter Peter Pan on the atrium steps or Daisy Duck out by the pool!

    If your cruise includes a stop at Castaway Cay, look for special Character Greetings around the island!

    For scheduled appearances, make sure to get in line a few minutes before the time listed, and bring along your autograph books and a camera! There will usually be a ship's photographer on hand as well to capture these special memories. Some of our favorite photo ops are with Captain Mickey, or with the characters on Pirate Night - dressed in their pirate finery!

    Although subject to change, Disney Characters you are likely to see during your cruise may include:

    Mickey Mouse / Minnie Mouse
    Donald Duck / Daisy Duck
    Chip & Dale
    Goofy /Max
    Pluto
    Captain Hook / Peter Pan
    Lilo / Stitch
    Cinderella / Belle / Snow White / Princess Aurora / Princess Tiana / Ariel
    Captain Jack Sparrow
    Dopey
    Jake
    Princess Anna / Queen Elsa

    Some popular character greetings (Anna/Elsa, Princess Gathering) may require a ticket to reserve your spot in line. Simply stop by Guest Services to pick up your free ticket for these special events.

    I hope this helps! Have a magical day! - Diane W.
