    Do minors need a passport to go to the western Caribbean if they do not have an original birth certificate?

    Yo! Ho! Ho!

    Welcome aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Frances.  Your cruise with Captain Mickey is rapidly approaching!  Is the excitement in your house growing as you check each day off of your countdown?  I am so happy for you to set sail in just a few short months! 

    The most important thing to pack is your identification so you walk onboard instead of walking the plank!  U.S. citizens sailing from and returning to the same U.S. port on cruises to the Caribbean can present a valid U.S. Passport or an original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate and government-issued photo ID.

    Children who are U.S. citizens that are 15 years of age or younger, only require an original or copy of their state-issued birth certificate to set sail.  As long as you are able to present a copy of the minor's state-issued birth certificate, and not the ceremonial birth certificate from the hospital, it should be accepted.  Passport and travel documentation requirements are subject to change, so just be sure to review these guidelines again closer to your sail date!

    Once onboard, steer your pirates toward the youth clubs for some fun!  Use your Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to find all the activities taking place here.  My kids do not miss Super Sloppy Science or Get the Hook!  This app is also your map to ALL of the treasures onboard including times and locations for character experiences and dinner menus.

    Check back in with us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel if you have any additional questions before you set sail, Frances!
