    We are 1st Time Disney cruiser and will be going on the Inaugural Cruise for the May 3rd sailing. I know Disney leaves gifts in rooms depending on your castaway status, but since it’s an inaugural cruise cruise will even 1st time cruisers receive something

    Ahoy there again, William! Thanks for taking the time to sail by planDisney again with another question for us. 

    How exciting you will be sailing your first Disney cruise in May! Castaway Club members receive special onboard gifts waiting for them in their stateroom. These gifts range from lanyards to tote bags, as well as complimentary dining experiences and more. Unfortunately, since you are not currently a Castaway Club member, you will not receive exclusive Castaway Club gifts during this upcoming cruise. However, you automatically become a Silver Member of the Castaway Club after you complete your first sailing.

    If you enjoy your Disney cruise and believe another sailing is on the horizon, be sure to take advantage of the onboard booking offer. This allows Guests to make a Placeholder Reservation for an upcoming cruise with 10% savings off prevailing rates as quoted on the Disney Cruise Line website, as well as a reduced deposit on sailings that are 7-nights or longer. There are some blockout dates and you’ll need to start your sailing within 24 months after Placeholder Reservation was booked. However, the Placeholder Reservation is automatically canceled if you are unable to sail within this time period. You will find the option to book this Placeholder Reservation (with a deposit) on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App while you’re still onboard.

    If you have more trip-planning questions, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again. 
    Bon voyage,

Meet the Panelist: Kiki, California

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
