Hi Danielle!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! As a previous cruiser and Castaway Club member, you are aware of all the fun and excitement that awaits you onboard a Disney Cruise Line vacation. I find that no matter how many Disney Cruises one has been on, there will always be something new and exciting to experience onboard!
I always look forward to the day because once I have completed the check-in process and booked my onboard activities I can relax and just wait for vacation time to arrive! Online Check-In and onboard booking opens at 12:00AM (EST) so if you are in (PST) you will want to plan to
log-in at 9:00PM (PST) or even a few minutes before that. At the stroke of midnight, you will be able to complete check-in and reserve onboard activities such as adult-exclusive dining (my favorite), complimentary character greeting tickets, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservations,
Port Adventures and lots more! I just tried using my iPhone to log into my account and it appEARs that I can complete registration on my phone without a problem, but it may take a bit longer to navigate on the phone than it would on a computer. Did you know that you can reserve your onboard fun prior to completing the online check-in?!? Since there are more steps and information needed in the online check-in process, I would recommend booking onboard activities when you are traveling and then completing your check-in when convenient and when you have a computer handy. As long as you complete your Online Check-In at least three days prior to sailing you will be good to go!
Thanks for sailing by with your question and please come back with any other planning questions you have as your adventure approaches!
Happy Sailing!
