    Can we pack empty reusable water bottle? If so, pack in carry on or check in?

    Hi, Melissa!

    Thanks for sailing over to planDisney as you prepare for your magical Disney Cruise Line vacation. As you begin to pack, look over the suggested packing list so you don't overpack or underpack. Stick with "cruise casual" when deciding on what to put into that suitcase! 

    Adding your reusable water bottle to your packing list is a great idea. Staying hydrated is so important whether lounging in the sun or hiking on a fun Port Adventure. Make sure the bottle is empty, and feel free to pack in it in your checked luggage or in your carry-on bag. The bonus of keeping it with you is that you will have your water bottle as soon as you board, whereas your checked luggage will not arrive to your stateroom until later in the afternoon. 

    You will find convenient water bottle filling stations around the ship. You will also find a beverage station near the pool deck with complimentary soft drinks, coffee, water, and ice. Please use a disposable cup to fill your bottle when using the beverage stations. 

    Once you board your ship, take time to explore to find the beverage stations, water bottle filling stations, then enjoy lunch! Keep exploring to find the adult pool areas, the Senses Spa & Salon, and locate the main dining rooms. Your stateroom should be ready around 1:30pm so you can begin to settle in. 

    Have fun as you get ready for your sailing with Captains Mickey and Minnie. Bon Voyage!
