Welcome aboard, Jerry! There is so much excitement in store for your family when you experience the Wonder and all of the magical events and activities that are planned!
Of course, as you're making these magical memories, you'll want to be sure you record them, and that's where the Disney Cruise Line photographers come in! You can take your own photos during your cruise, but there are also tons of photography opportunities with Disney characters, dinner photographs, special event photographs, different backgrounds each evening, and even photos on Castaway Cay. Your Key To The World Card will serve as your "key" to assigning your photos to your stateroom. When you have a photo taken, the photographer will ask for your card, swipe it, and hand it back. Later, you can swing by Shutters, the onboard photography shop, where you can view your photos and purchase any you'd like.
If you think you might like to buy a photo package ahead of time, you can do so, however the price is currently the same as if you order onboard. Check out the
Disney Cruise Line Photography page and click on "My Cruise Photos" to learn how to pre-order. There are different packages available, such as a cd with all of your photos, or smaller packages like 10 or 20 photos on cd, as well, of course, as simply purchasing photo prints individually. If this is your first cruise with Disney, the all-photo package is a great one, as you'll find that you have so many magical photos you'll want to keep forever! No matter which package you choose, just don't forget to pick it up the last morning of your cruise. Photos are not accessible to guests after disembarking, so you'll want to make your choices the last night onboard and pick up your cd the next morning!
Have fun planning, Jerry! Let us know if you have any other questions before you set sail!
