Ahoy there, Michael,
Welcome aboard planDisney! Thanks for sailing by with your question.
I'm happy to know that your son is a fan of Captain Mickey! One of my favorite activities on a Disney Cruise Line vacation is the honor of meeting Mickey and his pals all decked out in their finest sailing attire. When you board the ship, check your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for the times and locations of the
Character Greetings. You will find them in the app under the Explore tab and then select "Characters." Be sure to tap the heart icon next to the Characters you would like to meet, and the app will remind you about 15 minutes before so you don't miss it.
Now, as for your son's Mickey bubble wand, I checked with a Disney Cruise Line Cast Member and learned that the bubble wand may be brought on board! Keep in mind, that the bubble solution can make surfaces slippery, so please use caution and be mindful of your surroundings. The Cast Member also reminded me that if your son is participating in the
Disney Oceaneer Club or
Disney Oceaneer Lab, you should ask the Crew Members in the kids' club if it is ok to bring the bubble wand into those spaces.
Life is the bubbles on a Disney cruise, so I hope your family has a wonderful time on your voyage! Please let us know if you have other questions, Michael. And say "hi" to Captain Mickey for me!
Wishing you many magical moments,
Shannon
