So, you’ve booked your Disney Cruise — now it’s approaching your check in day and you wonder what will happen?  The most important thing you need to know before booking your excursions, adult dining, character meets, and other activities is that you must be paid in full on your cruise.  Once you have paid in full for your cruise, you can book your activities.  The date for this depends on how many Disney Cruises you have taken.  If this is your first cruise, your check in day will be 75 days from your sailing date.  If you have taken 1-4 cruises (this makes you a Silver Castaway Club member), your date will be 90 days out.  If you have taken 5-9 cruises (this makes you a Gold Castaway Club member), your date will be 105 days out.  If you have taken 10 or more (a Platinum Castaway Club member), your date will be 120 days out.  On the other hand, if you are sailing in a Concierge stateroom, you can book 125 days out regardless of your prior number of cruises.  You should be contacted by the shore side Concierge team who will book your activities for you (I believe you can email them 125 days out, so you should get everything you want). read more
