    Hi, We are considering going on the Disney Wonder next month. Is a Medicare card acceptable ID for my 2 year old? Thanks

    Ahoy, Ebony!

    As you have seen, besides a passport valid at least six months after the cruise will have completed or an original government-issued birth certificate, another form of acceptable travel document for children aged 17 years and younger on most Disney Magic at Sea - Australia to Australia cruises is a valid government-issued ID. Yes, an original Australian Medicare ID card is an acceptable form of government-issued ID in these cases. Please note that it should be an original Medicare ID card and not a digital ID card.

    If you happen to have a birth certificate or a valid passport for each child, I would also recommend having it available, just in case. Note that cruises with stops or endpoints in New Caledonia or New Zealand require a passport valid at least six months after the cruise will have ended and may require appropriate visas as well. For additional clarification, you may call the Disney Cruise Line Contact Center.

    Tony's Tip: Ahead of your cruise, you will have the opportunity to go through online check-in. A helpful part of online check-in is uploading images of your travel documents. This allows Disney Cruise Line Cast Members the opportunity to review your documents before your cruise to verify that they are adequate for your travel needs. That will be an opportunity for you to confirm that you have everything practically perfect in every way before you set sail with Captain Minnie!

    I hope you have a magical cruise, Ebony. Please let us know if you happen to have any more questions.

    See ya real soon, Ebony!
