Ahoy, Narelle!
One of the best parts of a Disney Cruise Line vacation is meeting all of the characters. You should expect to see Captain Mickey and his main pals, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy, all dressed in their sailor best outfits. If you have a little girl cruising with you, be sure to stop by the Guest Services desk to get tickets to meet Princess Anna and Queen Elsa, if they are on your sailing.
Your cruise will most certainly have a Pirate Night, where you might be lucky enough to meet Stitch in his pirate garb. Pack your favorite pirate outfits, and be sure to find Captain Jack Sparrow and get a family photo with him, he is definitely worth the wait!
Other characters you might encounter include:
•Donald Duck
•Daisy Duck
•Chip & Dale
•Max (Goofy's son)
•Captain Hook & Smee
•Peter Pan
•Lilo
•Cinderella
•Belle
•Snow White
•Princess Aurora
•Princess Tiana
•Ariel
•Dopey
•Jake
This is not a guarantee that you will definitely see these characters, and there might also be other characters onboard the Magic when you are there (don't you LOVE surprises?). Based on the above list, you COULD meet 20 or more characters. If you plan to leave your canvas at Guest Services to get signed, you might have less signatures.
I hope this helps with planning for your cruise. Please let us know if you have further planning questions as your voyage gets closer.
Happy Cruising, Tracy V.
