Reserving Activities Online for Your Disney Cruise

August 3, 2017 by Disney Cruise Mom 2 Comments

 

I used to have a post about ticketed events on Disney Cruise Line, but I took it down because within the last year or two, the information had become outdated.  In the past you would have to go to guest services after boarding to secure tickets/reservations for several things onboard, but this is no longer the case.  So, this post is to bring you up to date on how DCL is currently handling the reservations of onboard activities that can be done online before your cruise.  Some of these activities are an extra charge and some are not.  It there is an extra fee, I will mark the item with a $$$.  If you see red text, you can click on it for more information on that topic.

These are the activities that can currently be reserved online before your cruise:

Port Adventures through DCL  $$$

See photos and details of private cabanas 5 & 6 on Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line's private island.

This includes the highly-sought-after cabanas at Castaway Cay.

*

Adult Dining at Palo and Remy  $$$

Disney cruise Palo brunch

This includes brunch and/or dinner at these upcharge, adult-only venues.

*

Nursery Time  $$$

It's a Small World Nursery on the Disney Dream

For children 3 and under.  Only a certain number of hours may be reserved in advance online, but more can be added onboard if available.

*

Spa Treatments  $$$

SENSES SPA SALON ON THE DISNEY DREAM

*

Adult Beverage Tastings & Seminars  $$$

Tastings frequently offered include beer, wine, bourbon, champagne, chocolate & liquor, martini, whiskey, and mixology classes.

*

Princess Gathering

Princess Gathering on Disney Cruise Line

You can meet 3-5 princesses at once in the ship’s atrium.  Individual princesses can also be met each day of the cruise without tickets, so if you can’t get a reservation, don’t despair.

*

Frozen Meet & Greet

Frozen Meet Disney Cruise Line

Usually in attendance are Anna, Elsa & Olaf.  This is only chance to meet these specific characters onboard, so if you can’t get a reservation online, you may be out of luck.  I suggest checking the website frequently for cancellations, or visit guest services after boarding to see if anything has opened up.

*

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique $$$

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on Disney Cruise Line

You can read about our recent experience onboard the Wonder here.

*

Royal Court Tea $$$

This is a very expensive activity so it isn’t for everyone.  You can see the current prices here.

*

Character Breakfast

Disney Wonder character breakfast

These are offered on most cruises of 7+ nights, and are typically the Disney Jr. characters as well as Mickey.  Occasionally you will get the classic characters as we did above on our 14 night Panama Canal cruise.
