Welcome aboard, Elizabeth! You've picked the perfect time to escape the frigid weather in Pennsylvania and head out to sea with Captain Mickey and his crew!
I have received special gifts upon arriving in my Disney Cruise Line stateroom a few times, and even at my age, it is so magical to walk in and find a gift waiting for me! My kids just adore when we surprise them with a special gift or decoration upon boarding the ship. Your grandsons will be so thrilled to open their stateroom door on embarkation day and find a Disney gift waiting just for them!
There are all sorts of gifts that you can pre-order before you set sail, and since I see you're heading out soon, please be sure to do this as soon as possible. Check out the
Gifts and Amenities page of Disney Cruise Line's website for all of the options. These offerings are always subject to change, and after looking through them today, I don't currently see a Mickey doll as one of the offerings. However, the Color and Cruise Backpack and the Family Nautical Package are both really fun and would make a great welcome. Even more exciting would be the Nautical Character Stateroom Decor package. The last time I sailed over my birthday, my friends back home surprised me by pre-ordering a decor package and it was so special when my family and I opened the door for the first time to be greeted with floor to ceiling decorations! This would be a great way to kick off your grandsons' cruise.
Don't worry, though, there are plenty of Disney character dolls, including many varieties of Mickey Mouse, available onboard in the
gift shops, so you might want to sneak away one day to purchase new plush Disney friends for your grandsons and leave them on their beds one evening.
Have fun on this warm weather adventure, Elizabeth!
