Hello Julia and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you thought to stop by with your question as you prepare for your cruise activities booking window to open!
As a first-time guest of the Disney Cruise Line, you are able to
make advanced reservations for onboard activities and
Port Adventures 75 days prior to your sailing date. As the clock strikes midnight EST, you will be able to make those reservations for things like adult-exclusive dining at
Palo, a spa treatment at
Senses Spa & Salon, or even an appointment at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
You can choose to make these reservations either through the
Disney Cruise Line website or the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.
To do this on the website, you must first
sign in to your reservation using your Disney Account. Once signed in, select the "My Plans" tab. From there, you should see a "Book Now" button for your cruise activities. You will be able to view your cruise itinerary at a glance and select "Add Activities" on the specific days that you would like to experience them.
Alternatively, you may use the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to book your onboard fun. To do this, make sure you have the app downloaded and log in to your account. Select your reservation from the home page. This will take you to a fun countdown that will be ticking down the very seconds till your cruise begins! At the very bottom of the page, in the middle, you will see a calendar icon labeled "My Plans". Select this icon and from there you will be able to add and book onboard activities or Port Adventures based on the days you select from your sailing.
I hope that you find this to be a simple explanation and that you'll be able to add the activities you wish for before turning into a pumpkin tonight! And Julia, if you find that some of the reservations you were hoping to make are not available to book, please don't fret! Just reach out to a Crew Member at Guest Services to check the availability once you are on board the ship. Guests change their plans all of the time and you never know what magic might be in store for you! No Fairy Godmother or bibbidi bobbidi boo-ing required!
Please sail back to planDisney if you have more questions to ask. We are here and happy to help.
The magic awaits!
