    Hi! Online check-in for our 1st Disney Cruise is 12/5. 3 out of the 4 people in our party have their passports, the other will have it by our sail date. For check-in what will I need for the guest w/out the passport and can it be added once it arrives? Ty!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Suzi!

    Can you believe your Disney Cruise Line vacation is just a few weeks away? You must be so excited!

    I'm glad you are getting everything ready to make your Online Check-In process smooth sailing. For round-trip cruises to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Pacific Coast, Bermuda or Canada, United States citizens can use an original state-issued birth certificate AND a physical government-issued photo ID. For the member of your crew who is awaiting a passport, you will use these documents (to upload digitally) to check in online.

    When the passport arrives, just head back to the Already Booked tab on the Disney Cruise Line website and select Online Check-In from the drop-down menu. You should see "You're Checked In!" From there, click "Modify Check In" to open up the Guest Information section. Then select the name of the Guest who needs to update their documents, and scroll to the Citizenship information, to update the information. You will need to upload a digital copy of the passport picture page. If you have any issues updating the information, a friendly Disney Cruise Line Cast Member will happily assist you by phone. 

    I can't wait for you to experience your first Disney Cruise vacation! One of my favorite moments is when a Crew Member welcomes your travel party as you board the ship. Just before you board, a Crew Member will ask how you would like to be introduced. It is such fun to have the Crew and other Guests welcome you; be sure to have your camera video going! Don't forget to take advantage of the Onboard Booking Offer before your cruise is over to make a placeholder booking and receive a discount on a future cruise. Check your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app during your cruise for more information. 

    Thanks, again, for visiting planDisney and trusting us with your questions, Suzi. Stop by any time!

    Wishing you many magical memories,
    Shannon

Hi! I'm a dreamer and doer who loves exploring the big blue world! My love for Disney began at Walt Disney World Resort and after my first Disney Cruise Line vacation I was hooked. I especially enjoy the ships' adult-exclusive spaces and activities while experiencing the magic only Disney can create. A Land and Sea vacation combining an action-packed Walt Disney World Resort visit and a relaxing Disney Cruise Line voyage is my favorite way to do Disney. I can't wait to help you create your magical memories! Learn More About Shannon
