Hi Barron!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for stopping by with your question about cruising with my favorite Captain…Captain Mickey! If you have a Disney Cruise Line vacation on the horizon, I am sure you are super excited – and with every reason to be!
One of the most exciting things about a Disney Cruise Line vacation are the
characters! I mean, who doesn’t love seeing their favorite Disney characters and you will certainly have your chance to do just that while onboard! And, if you are visiting Castaway Cay, you will get to see them there too as Mickey and friends like the beach just as much as you and me! Character appearances will be listed on your Personal Navigator or the Navigator app throughout your voyage and that is when you will want to be sure to be there to meet your favs! In fact, I always suggest going a little earlier than the listed time to secure your spot in line…and an even better idea is to send mom or dad to line up and then bring the kids down since kids and lines don’t always mix! During the character appearances, you will be able to take photos with the characters and they can usually sign an item for you. There are really no limitations as to what you choose to bring, and I have seen a variety of items with autographs on them – from pillowcases and t-shirts to homemade autograph books! Just make sure you bring a pen or marker with you for the characters to sign with. Just in case you weren’t aware, Guest Services will no longer accept items to be signed by all the characters, but rather Guests need to have the items with them to be signed! But nothing better than seeing your favorite and getting an autograph at the same time!
Wishing you a magical and memorable adventure!
Happy Sailing!
