    How long in advance do I have to set up the character call? Do I have to set it up days in advance, or is it ready right away?

    Ahoy, Christopher! Thanks for stopping by planDisney. I'm glad you're here! Requesting a Complimentary Character Call is such a fun way to get into the Disney Cruise spirit! I always set one up for my family before our cruises, and they are always surprised when they hear from one of their favorite Disney pals! 

    Christopher, I am happy to report that you can schedule a Character Call for a later date or request a call within 5 minutes. How cool is that? To set up your call, log in to your MyDisney Account on the Disney Cruise Line website. Go to the "Already Booked" tab and select "My Reservations" from the drop-down menu. Toward the bottom, you should see a Complimentary Character Call section. Click the blue "Request a Call" button and it'll walk you through the steps of requesting a call. I find it handy to have information about your cruise (i.e. ship and sailing date) handy when making the call request. Currently, you can choose between Mickey, Goofy, or Mickey & Minnie for your character call. You can also request up to two calls per reservation!

    If you want more fun before your cruise, download the Disney Cruise Line (DCL) Navigator App. There is the cutest character that tells you the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds to your cruise. My kids love seeing which Disney character is featured. You can also make a payment, review your cruise options, and check in using the app. Once onboard, the DCL Navigator App has your entertainment schedule, deck plans, and rotational dining locations for each night of the cruise. It's a one-stop shop!

    I hope this information helps, Christopher. If you have any more questions, please sail back by. We would love to help!

    See ya real soon,
    Melissa
