Ahoy, Aislinn! Welcome to planDisney,
Disney Cruise Line and the Castaway Club! So much joy! I am so happy you are going to share this joy with your kids and introduce them to the magic of a Disney Cruise.
Now that you have earned your sea legs aboard a ship with Captains Mickey and Minnie, you can enjoy all the benefits of being Silver. Typically,
Castaway Club members receive a stateroom gift based on the member with the most cruises. With you and your husband both at the Silver level, you should get the stateroom gift for Silver members. You should also receive lanyards specific to your Castaway Club level. When we cruised with our children and were at different levels, we each got a lanyard based on our individual status. Another reminder to my kids that my husband and I went on a cruise without them earned a few eye rolls and comments from them. (Totally worth it.)
I would plan to bring lanyards for your children if they would like to have them. Having cruised with a
DisneyBand+, I also really recommend this option. You can use a DisneyBand+ to access your stateroom, make purchases onboard and enjoy the sounds and haptics during fireworks and some shows. What I like best about them is the convenience. They are waterproof and do not need to be stored while enjoying the pools, the
AquaDuck or other slides on board. I was always keeping track of lanyards and taking them off for photos. You will still need your Key to the World card when leaving and returning to the ship, but while onboard, the DisneyBand+ does it all.
Aislinn, I hope you and your family have a magical time aboard Disney Cruise Line. If we can help with any other questions,
planDisney is here for you!
Bon Voyage!
