    Hello if someone take grandchild on cruise what document needed

    Hi, Shantell!

    Welcome aboard Disney Cruise Line! I am glad you are planning ahead on all the required documentation for you and your travel party. 

    When traveling with a minor and you are not the legal parent or guardian, the Authorization for Minor to Travel without a Parent or Legal Guardian Form is required. Please have the form completed as it must be presented at the cruise port prior to boarding. If you have any questions regarding needed documentation, please call Disney Cruise Line prior to your sailing to avoid any problems at the cruise port. 

    In addition, please make sure all members of your crew have Required Travel Documents including valid identification, passports or required citizenship documentation. Start planning early if applying for passports to allow for processing and delivery of your documents. 

    Once onboard, you will find a safe in your stateroom so you can securely store all your passports and valuables. While most ports of call will not require showing your passport, you will need to present a photo ID and your Key to the World card as you debark and embark the ship. 

    Now that you are going to be all organized with your required documents, let's get this cruise party started! Once you are onboard, check your Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to see all the fun happening around the ship. The fun begins with a sail away party, so get your magical dancing shoes on and let's set sail! The party does not end until your final wave goodbye after breakfast on the last day of your cruise. You are in for a magical voyage with Captain Mickey and all his pals. 

    Shantell, please stop back to planDisney if you have any additional questions about your Disney Cruise Line voyage.
