Disney Cruises Return

After over an entire year of no sailings, Disney Cruise Line is slowly beginning to return to sailing. The Disney Cruise ships began to sail once again just one month ago with cruises on board the Disney Dream.

There are new sailing health protocols that all guests must follow. Recently guidelines were updated for all guests to be fully vaccinated and tested prior to sailing. This particular rule applies to all guests ages 12 and over. Guests falling under this category still must show proof of a negative test.

Along with new health and safety protocols, your next cruise will look a little different! Some of these additional features seem pretty nice to me (Maggie). For example, Disney Cruise Line now utilizes virtual queues for the pools and Castaway Cay.

The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app also plays a major role in your cruise as this is how many guests will pre-book their cruise experiences, check-in, chat with guests services and access dining menus.

Brand new to Disney Cruise Line are fun Magic Shots for guests to take while sailing! We all are familiar Magic Shots from the parks. I know these special shots are usually some of my favorite kind of pictures from vacation.

Characters featured in these Magic Shots are Tinker Bell, Captain Mickey, Captain Minnie, Sailor Pluto, Chip & Dale, Sailor Goofy, Cruise Director Daisy, Sailor Donald. On Castaway Cay look for Magic Shots featuring Sebastian, Hei Hei and Flounder.

Guests both on board and on land can even get a sprinkle of pixie dust in the form of Mickey clouds added to your vacation photos.

“Disney Cruise Line photographers will be shooting Magic Shots at various locations throughout the ship and on Castaway Cay for our Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries.
