Hey Elizabeth!
Welcome to planDisney! Let me just say that we are totally on board with your idea to surprise your loved ones with the news of your Disney cruise. Those are always such heartwarming moments of pure joy, and I could watch videos of those moments all day long!
You are not the first person to mention this mystery Disney Cruise Line surprise box that must have been a thing at some point. But I have not seen anything like this being offered recently, so we'll just have to come up with some surprise ideas on our own to make the pixie dust fly!
Perhaps you would like to schedule a character call from Mickey, Goofy or Mickey and Minnie together! This call can be requested once you have
logged into your Disney Cruise Line account and access your reservation. Under the “Get Ready to Cruise” section, you can click on the "Request a Call" box. After selecting the character(s), Guests will provide the ship, sail date, destination, phone number, and what time for the call. Currently, these
character calls are available to residents of the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Why reinvent the wheel when it comes to surprising your family with a Disney cruise? Let all those that have done this before you be your guide. There are some brilliant ideas on the internet, and they say that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” So flatter away by duplicating some of the awesome announcements that are online. You can also borrow the concepts outlined on the
Disney Parks Blog and
Disney Rewards on ways to share the good news with family and friends about cruising with Captain Mickey!
You can surprise us anytime with more planning questions, and we will totally act surprised when you do! Plus, let us know how that big reveal moment goes with your family. We’d love to hear all about it.
SEA ya real soon!
