Hi, Benjamin!
Welcome aboard Disney Cruise Line! I am so happy that you are not only a fan of Walt Disney World, but you are going to head to sea to enjoy Disney "ocean style" as you board a beautiful
Disney Cruise Line ship. You are in for a magical sailing vacation.
Using
MagicBand+ from Walt Disney World (or a
DisneyBand+ if you buy it on the cruise) is a game changer. No more searching for my room key as I return to my stateroom since I have my band securely on my wrist. I love that it is waterproof so it can even be worn while in the pool. Super convenient!
Have your
MagicBand+ available when checking in at the Cruise Terminal (wear or keep in your carry-on, do not put in your checked luggage). During the check-in process, your port agent will gladly scan your MagicBand+ to make sure it is linked for your cruise. This will be done for all guests in your travel party who have a MagicBand+ or a DisneyBand+. If you forget to have it checked prior to boarding, you can always stop by the Guest Services desk to have them confirm your band is linked.
Prior to your cruise, download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. This will be your "go-to" for all the activities taking place during your cruise. You will be able to check on entertainment times, deck party schedules, menus, and even see your stateroom folio.
Your cruise is just around the corner, so pack your MagicBand+ (and don't forget the charger!), your Mickey Mouse ears, then it is time to set sail with Captains Mickey and Minnie! Bon Voyage!
