    When do you get your schedule on a Disney cruise

    Ahoy there, Sharon!

    Welcome aboard planDisney! Your countdown is almost down to one week, and if my Great Mouse Detective skills are any good, it looks like you’re gearing up for 7 magical nights on the Disney Dream. That’s getting close enough that I’m sure you’re ready to see what’s waiting for you onboard!

    I know it’s tough not knowing exactly what the schedule of events will look like, but the wait is almost over. Your full schedule will be revealed on embarkation day once you’ve connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi. At that point, your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app will switch into cruise mode, and you’ll be able to see all those important events and activities you’ve been hoping to experience.

    If you have some time at the cruise terminal, or while you’re enjoying a nice lunch onboard, I recommend scrolling through the activities for that day and favoriting anything that catches your eye. Each activity has a heart that you can tap to save it to your plans. You’ll then receive a notification approximately 15 minutes before the event begins, so be sure to allow notifications for the Navigator app.

    I also like to make a habit of looking through the next day’s schedule each evening. It gives me a chance to see what’s coming up, decide what I don't want to miss, and make a loose plan for the following day. I say “loose” because there are usually enough tempting activities onboard to make even the best-laid plans change!

    I hope this helps you know what to expect when you board the Dream and finally get to see your full schedule. Until then, enjoy that final week of anticipation, because soon enough you’ll be checking the Navigator app instead of checking the countdown!

    Sea ya real soon as we ride the wave of summer’s final stretch in Disney style,
