    Are lanyards provided to all guests that are 2nd-time Disney cruisers? Will photographers still take pics if you don't purchase photo pkg? Can Photo books be pre-purchased?

    Ahoy there, Lisa!

    I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you aboard planDisney, and I truly appreciate you bringing these great questions our way. It looks like your exciting Disney Cruise Line adventure is just DAYS away...how magical! Let's go ahead and get those questions answered so you can get back to putting the finishing touches on your plans and start counting down the moments until you set sail on your unforgettable voyage.

    First and foremost...YES! Disney Cruise Line provides Castaway Club lanyards to returning Guests beginning with their second sailing. Once you set sail on your second voyage, you'll officially become a Castaway Club Member, and you'll receive a complimentary Silver-level lanyard to commemorate your new status. 

    If you decide not to purchase the photo package, no worries at all! In most cases, a helpful Cast Member or assistant is stationed alongside the professional photographer at character meet-and-greets. They're usually more than happy to snap a few photos for you on your personal mobile device. 

    The PhotoBook Keepsake is a fantastic way to turn your favorite cruise memories into a beautifully printed keepsake you'll treasure for years to come. I'm happy to share that you can purchase this special PhotoBook either before your sailing or once onboard. However, pre-purchasing comes with a discounted price compared to purchasing onboard.

    To take advantage of that discount, the PhotoBook must be pre-purchased at least three days before your embarkation day. Since it looks like your cruise sets sail in just a few days, today would be your last opportunity to buy it in advance and still receive the pre-cruise savings. So if you're interested, I recommend hopping over to the Onboard Activities section in your Disney Cruise Line account and securing it today.

    One more helpful tip: Be sure to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before your trip! It lets you easily view and select your cruise photos for your PhotoBook and provides all the details on dining, entertainment, activities, and more right at your fingertips!

    I hope this information is helpful, Lisa! Have the most MAGICAL sailing!

    Bon Voyage,
