Hi Danielle!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I am so excited that you will SOON be on your first Disney Cruise Line vacation! Before you know it, you will be on your way to sea with Captain Mickey for fun in the sun!
As a first time Disney Cruise Line Guest, you will not receive a lanyard when you arrive at the port for embarkation. Lanyards are offered to
Castaway Club members, so on your NEXT Disney Cruise (because, I know you will love it!!), you will get one at embarkation! You can bring one with you or there are some cute ones available for purchase in the
onboard gift shops if you choose to get one onboard! Having your Key to the World in a lanyard will be incredibly helpful, because when you're onboard, that is all you need! It will be your key to your stateroom, you will use it to charge any onboard purchases to your stateroom account, use it to check out your pictures at Shutters, and it also has important information on it like your dinner restaurant rotation - all the important stuff!
I know you will have an FANTASTic vacation, and I highly recommend taking advantage of the great specials available when you
book your next vacation before disembarking! I always book a future cruise so that it’s a “See Ya Real Soon!” instead of a “goodbye” at the end of your vacation!
Wishing you many magical memories!
Happy Sailing!
Stephanie
