Welcome aboard, Jeanette! You must be getting ready to set sail with your family on a magical adventure at sea with Captain Mickey and his crew!
Shopping and souvenirs are always a big part of a trip, aren't they? Especially for the kiddos! My kids always see some must-have items in the gift shops onboard, and we love to browse the shops each day, always finding something new! There are lots of Disney autograph books in the shops, and yes, they do have Disney Cruise Line themed books. I've seen at least two different cruise styles of autograph books onboard when we've sailed, plus some other Disney-themed styles. If you want to purchase one onboard, just realize that the shops do not open on that first day until later in the evening once you're at sea, usually around 5:45 or 6:00 p.m. I'm letting you know that because you may see a character or two before that that you're kids would like to meet! Go ahead and do that! You can always pop back and see them again with autograph book in tow later on in the cruise. Your Personal Navigator or the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App will list the times and locations each day for Character Greetings, and let me tell you: there are so many opportunities to meet your favorite Disney friends all day and night!
There are also some specialty
Character Greetings that you can book tickets for during your online check-in, but if those are full, don't worry! You'll have plenty of non-ticketed opportunities to meet characters throughout the whole cruise!
Have so much fun planning, Jeanette, and please stop back if we can help with any other questions before you set sail!
