Greetings, Joey, and welcome back to
planDisney!
Thank you for consulting planDisney in preparation for your upcoming sailing, Joey. As a fellow
Disney Cruise Line fan and Guest, it would be my pleasure to assist you further.
Packing for a vacation can be a bit daunting, especially when travelling with a small child.
Disney Cruise Line – Packing Lists by destination offer helpful lists and recommended essentials to help you with your packing decisions. As well,
Disney Cruise Line's - Travelling with Little Ones offers many helpful tips in preparation for, and during your voyage.
Disney Cruise Line’s luggage allowance affords each Guest two (2) suitcases, one (1) carry-on each measuring no greater than 14 inches wide, 9 inches deep and 22 inches in height, as well as one (1) personal bag. All
Disney Cruise Line Guests will receive two (2) luggage tags for their travel party in advance of their sailing. Luggage tags will contain your specific cruise details, such as your name, ship, stateroom number, reservation number, and sail date. As soon as you arrive at the port, the porters will facilitate the transfer of your luggage to your stateroom. Typically, luggage arrives at staterooms a few hours after your check-in at the port.
I recommend packing first-day travel essentials (medications, valuables, travel documents and identification) either in your carry-on, or personal bag, and if you plan on going for a swim on embarkation day, you might consider packing a bathing suit – save space in your suitcase and leave any beach towels at home, they are provided near all pools and on
Disney Castaway Cay.
Tips:Don’t worry about overpacking, you can easily use the
Disney Cruise Line – Laundry Services during your sailing, with the choice of
Self-Service Laundry, and
Full-Service Laundry Pickup.
Download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to manage your plans before and during your sailing, and kindly refer to
Disney Cruise Line's - Know Before You Sail resource in preparation for your sailing.
It was my pleasure assisting you, Joey, we look forward to offering more first-hand tips and advice to help you optimize your Disney Cruise Line vacation, thank you!
Ahoy,
Jacqueline
