Thanks for sailing by, Holly!
It sounds like you are just days away from a magical
Disney Wish sailing. My family enjoyed this beautiful ship in April but unfortunately missed the preview of
DisneyBand+ by a few weeks. We love using our
MagicBand+ when visiting Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, so I'm really looking forward to taking advantage of this technology on our Wish next sailing.
If you've already purchased a DisneyBand+, be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App and you'll be able to
pair your bands once onboard. You can use them just like your Key to the World Card to open your Stateroom door and make purchases around the ship. Your kids can even use their DisneyBand+ in place of a Disney Oceaneer Band if they are aged 12 or under and plan to spend time in
Disney's Oceaneer Club during your cruise.
When my family sails, I don't authorize charging privileges for my children. We typically let them shop with
Disney Gift Cards to help them track their spending, or have them make purchases when we are all together to ensure we won't be traveling home with a boatload of merchandise. But I can understand that your kids might want to have a little more freedom while onboard.
I reached out to a friendly Cast Member in regard to spending limits, and they advised that you speak with
Guest Services once you've boarded the ship. You'll find Guest Services on Deck 4 overlooking the Grand Hall. I'm sorry I don't have more specific details to share, but I'm sure they will be happy to answer any questions and sprinkle the necessary pixie dust if they can accommodate your request.
While you're enjoying the ship be sure to check out
The Bayou and
Star Wars: HyperSpace Lounge on Deck 3. Our family loved listening to music and people-watching in The Bayou each day and even enjoyed some out-of-this-world libations together before HyperSpace Lounge became an adult-only venue later in the evening.
Holly, I'm wishing you a most magical time at sea. If we can answer any additional questions as you prepare for embarkation day please don't hesitate to stop back and let us know.
Magic and memories,
Amy
