Ahoy, Rebecca!
Congratulations on your first sailing aboard the most magical cruise line on the high seas! I hope it with be the first of many with Captain Mickey and the gang.
There is so much to look forward to when you vacation on a Disney Cruise. The ship is a destination in itself with
offerings for Guests of all ages including meeting your favorite Disney Pals. I'm sorry to hear you were unable to book some of the character experiences online, but some are held back for embarkation day. My suggestion is to head straight to
Guest Services upon boarding to check with them about getting a spot reserved for your crew. My hope is that you'll be able to secure your spot, but if not, please know there are "minnie" character opportunities offered to Guests during each sailing. You'll just need to keep your daily cruise newsletter, the Personal Navigator and the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app (free for download for Apple or Android devices) handy for the most up-to-date information on
Character Appearances. Also, you never know who you might "sea" while at sea with Disney so always have your camera with you!
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Rebecca! Please let us know if we can assist you further with your magical plans!
