Hello, Hanna!
Welcome to planDisney. It looks like you are planning a fall sailing aboard the Disney Cruise Line. How fun! Wrapping up summer with a Disney Cruise sounds like a great plan!
Port Adventures are shore excursions that allow Guests to explore different cruise destinations. They offer great opportunities to engage in various activities, such as spending time on the beach or learning about another culture! Port Adventures are usually priced per Guest. Sometimes Guests in the same stateroom choose to try different Port Adventures, or other times, a child might not be old enough for a specific Port Adventure. Pricing details for each Port Adventure can be found during your
booking window on the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app or the
Disney Cruise Line website.
Port Adventures are popular, and I recommend booking them as soon as your booking window begins. The date of your booking window is dependent on your
Castaway Club level (or if you are staying in a Concierge Stateroom). Castaway Club is Disney Cruise Line's loyalty program, similar to a frequent flyer program. The more you cruise, the higher you can climb in the Castaway Club. It is the perfect excuse to sail on another Disney Cruise! It also provides justification for taking advantage of the
Disney Cruise Line Onboard-Only Offer during your cruise. Guests who book this Placeholder Reservation while on their cruise can receive a discount and reduced deposit on select Disney Cruises in the future. I always make a Placeholder Reservation even if I am unsure when my next Disney Cruise will be. It gives me something to look forward to when I experience the "disembarkation blues" as we leave our Disney Cruise!
Hanna, have a wonderful vacation on the Disney Cruise Line! There is no other vacation like it! I hope you reach out to planDisney again if you have other questions.
Happy sailing!
Jen
