Ahoy there Nelson! Welcome to planDisney!
Planning to head coast-to-coast and embark on a
Disney Wish sailing next winter, I see! It's always a very good idea to make sure you have this extremely important checklist item settled well before your sail date, so great job! In no time, you and your crew will be relaxing on your Disney Cruise Line Vacation!
According to Disney Cruise Line's current
Travel Documentation information for cruises sailing to the Bahamas, Guests who are legal permanent residents of the U.S. must present a valid original Permanent Resident Card. When it comes to US citizens, for closed-loop cruises - those like the Disney Wish's itineraries that depart and return to the same port - an original birth certificate is acceptable. It sounds to me like your crew may have some members that fall into both categories, so I'd definitely be sure to also stay on top of one of the Bahamian government websites to make sure you have the proper documentation, as Castaway Cay is subject to Bahamian regulations.
With that knowledge, I'm sure you and your crew are ready to jump into everything that's included on a Disney Cruise Line vacation! From delicious dining options, incredible onboard entertainment, and an incredible day at Disney Castaway Cay, there will be no shortage of opportunities to have an amazing time!
Oh, and one final planDrew-approved tip: when on
Disney Castaway Cay, don't feel like you have to wait for the tram to take you to the beach! Whether you make the hike all the way to Serenity Bay, or spend your day at the Family Beach, follow your feet and stake your claim to the best beach chairs you can find! you may have some
I hope that all helps you and your crew chart a course for adventure, Nelson! Thank you so much for your question, and if you have any others while you continue planning, please drop me another line here at planDisney!
Until then, I wish you fair winds and following seas!
