Ahoy Sarah and welcome to planDisney! I am so glad you got to experience where magic meets the sea aboard the
Disney Dream. Our family sailed on that ship earlier this year and my kiddos had a blast on the AquaDuck. Now, let’s sail on over to your question about benefits as a returning
Disney Cruise Line guest!
DCL has a loyalty program called
Castaway Club that rewards returning guests with perks such as earlier bookings for sailings and activities and a welcome back aboard gift. The best part is that you become a Silver Member after your first sailing! For Silver Members, you get to book new itineraries 1 day before the general public and
add cruise activities 90 days prior to sailing (as compared to 75 days prior to sailing for first-time cruisers). You also get to complete
online check-in and select a port arrival time 33 days prior to sailing (as compared to 30 days for first-time guests).
As you complete more sailings with Disney Cruise Line, you’ll reach additional tiers of the Castaway Club that offer increased benefits! For example, after 5 sailings you’ll reach Gold Member status that allows you to add cruise activities 105 days before sailing and a private onboard reception on 8-night and longer voyages. After 10 sailings, you’ll reach Platinum Member status that adds on a complimentary dinner
at Palo!
Sarah, I’m ecstatic for you and your next sailing aboard the Disney Wish. My family’s maiden voyage aboard a DCL ship was on the
Disney Wish and we made so many core memories. My daughter won the Jack-Jack’s Incredible Diaper Dash, beating out other infants and toddlers in this fun little race. There’s so many fun areas, lounges, and activities to explore aboard that I’m sure you’ll have a great time. If you have any further questions about your future sailing or Disney vacations in general, feel free to
contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Sean
