Key To The World Cards for DCL (Updated for 2023)
When you embark on a Disney Cruise, you will be given a Key To The World Card. The card will not only unlock your stateroom but also uniquely identifies you to the crew. It has a lot of information embedded on the card as well. I'll try to breakdown the information as well to show you some examples of the card.

January 26, 2020 – 7 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise, Part 7: Martinique
Today was our first stop at the French Island of Martinique. We had been warned prior to the cruise that Martinique wasn’t allowing cruise passengers to enter unless they had passports. Since we always cruise with our passports this wasn’t a problem for us. Turns out, we never needed our passports.
Nancy and I woke up early and decided to go to Triton’s for breakfast. Once we arrived, we asked to be seated with Shane, who was our server for the cruise. He was off doing something else, so we were seated with another server. We did get to talk with our assistant server while we selected our breakfast items.
We placed our order, and the next thing we knew, Shane was bringing our food out. He had heard we were there, so he dropped what he was doing and came out to talk with us. Nancy had ordered a Yogurt Parfait and I ordered an omelet with hash browns.
We didn’t have any concrete plans for the day. We were going to leave the ship and walk around the immediate port area. After finishing breakfast, we went outside on Deck 4 to see what the port looked like. We got temporarily fixated on the testing of a an inflatable life raft for a few minutes.
Once we turned away from the life raft, we got a good look at the port. The island of Martinique isn’t dependent on tourism for its economy, therefore there isn’t the plethora of usual tourist shops that you see in most ports. The only thing set up right near the ship was a few small tents for merchants to advertise to the cruise ship passengers.
We returned to the room to wake the girls up around 9:30. Once they were dressed, we went to Cabanas so they could get a quick bite to eat before we left the ship. We headed off the Wonder around 11 am and walked down the pier towards the town. The pier had sidewalks, which were painted blue while the road portion of the pier was green.
Once we got off the pier, we did look in the tents briefly, but then headed farther down the waterfront. There is a small beach right next to a large colonial era fort, Fort Saint Louis. I wish we had figured out a good time to tour the fort because I’m sure it would have been amazing. We decided to go through a nearby park, La Savane Park. The park had a large playground, which would be good for families looking to burn off extra energy.
The actual town we were in was called Fort-de-France, which is the capital of Martinique. We explored various shops and walked around for about 30 minutes, just taking in the sights. On one of the streets (apparently near the City Hall), we turned the corner and stumbled on a protest. Not quite understanding what was going on, we decided to head in a different direction.
After leaving the area of the protest, we walked past the Espace Camille Darsière, which is the former Palace of Justice. The building was not in the best shape, but it was very ornate and interesting to look at.
We went to view the St. Louis Cathedral. It is located a few blocks away from the Espace Camille Darsière.
You could go into the interior of the cathedral as well. We stayed in the back of the cathedral and enjoyed the stained glass.
After taking in the cathedral for a few minutes, we headed back out to continue our tour. We happened upon a street with lots of restaurants and shops that was blocked off to vehicular traffic. We decided to take a break to get a drink. The owner of the shop only spoke French, but he was able to figure out what we wanted and we were able to pay with a credit card. We sat down at some tables he had outside the shop and watched the local scenery.
After finishing our beverages, we had seen pretty much everything we wanted to. We decided not to take the most direct path back to the ship, just so we could see some of the city. As we neared the ship, we walked past a small supermarket. We decided to head inside to see if we could pick up some unique beers for Nancy. It was a great experience for all of us. We got to see some of the islands various fruits and vegetables that we normally might not see, as well as different products we can’t find back home. The cashier was super friendly as well.
The supermarket was our last stop of the trip and we headed back to the Wonder. Nancy decided a nap was in order, while the girls and I went to sit on Deck 10 to read and people watch. We stayed in the sun for a while, then grabbed a quick bite to eat before returning to the room for a shower. My younger daughter went off to hang out in the Vibe, while my older daughter and I headed to the French Quarter Lounge. It was 3D craft time and the object was a Disney cruise ship.
I decided to just watch while she made the boat. The cruise staff hadn’t anticipated the popularity of the activity and ran out of the activity sheets. Every participant got an activity sheet, scissors, and some adhesive dots. The dots where used to hold some sections of the boat together.
Once fully assembled, you had a quasi replica of the Disney Cruise ship. It must be the Wonder, because there was no water slide of any sort.
After building the 3D boat, we went up to Deck 9 for more ice cream and to watch Monsters Inc on funnel vision. Eventually the entire family joined us and had some light snacks. We went back to the room to change once the movie was over, because we wanted to see the Frozen Stage show! This was the only show on all the ships we hadn’t seen before! We all really enjoyed the show, especially the puppets!
Since we only had 30 minutes or so between the show and dinner, we went into the D Lounge to watch “Who Wants to Be a Mouseketeer?” We really like the family oriented shows on the ship. We had a good laugh, and then we were off to Triton’s for dinner.
After dinner, Nancy and I headed back to the room for bed. The girls went off to their respective clubs (Vibe and 1820) for late night fun.
Tomorrow, we would be stopping at another new destination for us, Barbados!

January 26, 2020 – 7 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise – Part 4: Exploring the Ship
We entered the lobby on Deck 4 as our name was called and we immediately had to go down to Deck 3 to get our picture with Ariel.
After getting our required picture, we headed up to the pool deck. We wanted to grab some chairs to wait for our friends while warming up in the sun. We also grabbed some drinks and walked around the pool deck to get some pictures. It hadn’t been that long since we had been on board the Wonder, about 9 months.
I checked the navigator we received in the terminal and noticed that you could meet with the dining room staff in Azure at noon in order to change your dining plans. I wanted to verify that we were with our favorite server and to see if we could merge our Palo reservations. I headed to Azure and was shocked. The room was packed. There was a member of the dining staff taking names, so I was added to two lists (one for regular dining and one for Palo). The dining question was really quick, it was handled in about ten minutes. The Palo question took a lot longer. Based on the conversations going on, a lot of people were attempting to get Palo brunch for the one day it was offered (Day 7, the sea day). Once I was able to speak to the Palo Maitre D’, I was done in a few seconds. I gave him my room number and he immediately responded that he had combined our tables together for brunch at noon. I was then on my way back to the pool deck.
Once I got back to the family, they were already having lunch. I decided to head over to get some pizza from the Pinocchio’s. I asked the server if they were going to have pretzels on this trip. He gave me a strange look, but the other server explained that they hadn’t made pretzels at Pinocchio’s for a number of years. I was saddened, it used to be one of our favorite things to eat on the Wonder.
After a quick snack (or two), the girls and I decided to go check out Vibe for the changes that were made during the recent dry dock. We published an article detailing the changes. We came back from the club and found Nancy watching funnel vision. It was close to 1:30 pm, so we decided to head for the room, which should be ready.
Our room was ready, so we dropped our bags off. Our room was located on Deck 2 forward, which has become our new favorite stateroom location. Nancy wanted to start unpacking our suitcases, so the girls and I decided to help by leaving the room. Our first stopped was the new French Quarter Lounge.
After we looked at the lounge, we headed up to look at the remade Cove Cafe. This was our older daughter’s first look at it, since it was her birthday (she turned 18)!
We walked around the ship and grabbed lots of pictures. We revisited the kids clubs as well. The pictures we had taken on our Spring break trip turned out a bit fuzzy.
After exploring the ship for quite a bit, we returned to the room. The door magnets had been unpacked, so I set up the door and lights. Once we finished, it was time for the muster drill.
Thankfully, our muster station was located in the Walt Disney Theater. Having an inside muster station is great, no standing outside in the sun. The best part about the muster drill was running into our favorite server, Shane! He came over and gave Nancy a big hug, without us even saying anything to him. He said he saw us on his guest list and knew we were around somewhere.
After we left the shore, we headed down to the shops to see if there was anything new for sale.
The only thing I really collect from the ships is a new Tervis on each sailing, if I can find something I don’t already have. There was a new one that I ended up getting (the red one in the picture below).
Lots of new ears were on display this time as well. Nancy also took note of the Dooney and Bourke Handbags, but didn’t get any.
After visiting the shops, we joined our friends in the Crown and Fin pub for some trivia. I don’t remember what kind of trivia it was, but we lost pretty badly. We did have fun though! After trivia, I headed to Guest Services while Nancy went back to the room to get ready for dinner. I needed to add a gift card to our room to pay for some of our excursions. Guest Services had a small line but it moved fairly quickly.
Dinner tonight was in Triton’s with the standard menu. We were so excited to see Shane again, who was working with assistant server Miguel. Shane gave everyone a big hug and welcomed us back. We spent most of dinner talking with him to see how he had been since we saw him last.
Next up, we are headed back to St. Maarten!

April 14, 2019 5-Night Baja Cruise, Part 5: Sea Day
After our prior day of getting up early to board the ship, we had very few plans for our first sea day. We took the opportunity to sleep in late. Nancy and I planned to enjoy Palo Brunch, so we decided to skip breakfast. The girls got dressed and headed off to enjoy the ship while Nancy and I got ready and headed up to Palo. We’ve talked about Palo many times, including how to book your reservation. It goes without saying that we had a fantastic lunch.
After stuffing ourselves at Palo, we checked in on the girls. They wanted to head to the main pool to watch funnel vision. I went back to the room to change to join them.
We sat with the girls on the pool for quite some time. The problem was the temperature was so nice, maybe on the cool side. I neglected to put on sun screen because of the nice weather. I discovered later in the evening that was a huge mistake. I definitely got a nice sun burn. Luckily, at the time, ignorance was bliss. We all watched a few movies on the Funnel Vision and had a great time. After we got a few movies in, we decided to go back to the room. We were all a bit tired, so we decided to sit on our balcony and get in some nap time. As I said earlier, our balcony was fantastic.
After a couple of hours at the pool, while the rest of us were burning ourselves and being lazy, Nancy took the opportunity to hit the gym to exercise.
While we were enjoying the balcony, our Platinum return gift was delivered to our cabin. Last time, we had selected the box of chocolates. This time, we decided to try a fruit tray. In hindsight, I don’t know that more food was what we really needed on this trip. Either way, it looked nice but I don’t know if we ate any of it.
Since we really only had one bathroom, I decided to get ready early for dinner to free it up for the ladies. Once I was done I headed down to guest services in the atrium while the ladies got ready for dinner. I wanted to add a gift card to our on board account. I took the opportunity to get a picture of Ariel while the atrium was less busy and I stopped at guest services.
After getting a few pictures, I headed off to the Promenade Lounge to read until dinner time. Once the ladies were ready, we all went together to enjoy dinner in Triton’s. Dinner tonight was with the traditional Triton’s menu.
In addition to our dinner, we received another awesome dessert from the pastry chef. We headed back to the room ready to sleep the night away. The girls captured this beautiful photo before we settled in.
Waiting in the room for us was this awesome elephant!
Next up, we get to explore the fantastic port of Cabo San Lucas!

Key To The World Cards for DCL
When you embark on a Disney Cruise, you will be given a Key To The World Card. The card will not only unlock your stateroom but also uniquely identifies you to the crew. It has a lot of information embedded on the card as well. I’ll try to breakdown the information as well to show you some examples of the card.
| A | The dates of your cruise |
| The ship you are on | |
| C | Your name |
| D | Your Castaway Club status |
| E | Your lifeboat station |
| F | Your dining rotation:
Fantasy
Dream
Magic
Wonder
|
| G | Your dining time |
| H | Your check in line number |
| I | Indicates you have a Disney Visa Card as your credit card (entitles you to additional perks) |
| J | Your table number in every main dining room |
| K | Your Castaway Club account number |
| L | A for Adult, M for Minor |
| M | P for Disney Transportation to the Port, A for Disney Transportation to the Airport, R for Disney Resort, PA for Port and Airport, PR for Port and Resort, and RPA for Resort to Port to Airport. |
Here is our first card, which was for a cruise to Alaska. The only difference here is that we didn’t have any Disney Transportation booked, didn’t have Castaway Club status, and Disney had not yet started to indicate if you were using a Disney Visa Card.
On our second cruise, we had obtained Silver Castaway Club Status. We went on a Spring Break cruise on the Wonder.
On our third cruise, we got a star added to our card. This was to indicate that we had visited the Immigration and Custom Officials before the ship docked in Key West. This cruise was a four night Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
Nothing new on this card for our fourth cruise. Although, it is interesting to note that there is no check in line number on this card. I think my Key To The World card got demagnetized on this cruise (and wouldn’t open my stateroom door), so it got reprinted while we were on board. This was a five night Western Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
This was our fifth cruise and it was our first time on the Fantasy. This was a 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy.
Back on the Wonder for our sixth cruise, where we changed to Gold Castaway Club Members. We also don’t have a check in line number for this cruise, but I remember that we did upgrade our stateroom in the cruise terminal. This meant that our card got reprinted in the supervisor’s line. This was another five night Western Caribbean cruise on the Wonder.
For our seventh cruise, we returned to the Fantasy. We also paid for Disney Cruise Line transportation from the airport and the port, so the card has a PA on it. We also used a Disney Visa Card for the default credit card for this cruise, so they added the DV to this card. We didn’t actually use the credit card, since all the charges were paid off using Disney Gift Cards. This was a seven night Eastern Caribbean Star Wars Day at Sea Cruise.
Our eighth cruise was our first cruise on the Dream. We again paid for round trip Disney Cruise ground transportation and used our Disney Visa Card. This was a three night Bahamian Cruise on the Dream.
On our ninth cruise, we went on the Magic for a Very Merrytime Cruise. We drove to and from the Port of Miami, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. We used our Disney Visa Card as the default credit card for this cruise. This was a 5 Night Very Merrytime Western Caribbean Cruise on the Magic.
On our tenth cruise, we went back on the Magic for a Sprint Break Cruise. We drove to and from the Port of Miami, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. This was a 5 Night Bahamian Cruise on the Magic.
Our eleventh cruise, where we were Platinum for the first time, was another cruise on the Fantasy. We drove to and from Port Canaveral, so no annotation about Disney Transportation. This was a 7-Night Eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy.
On our twelve cruise, we went back onboard our favorite ship, the Wonder, for a Spring Break Cruise. We left from San Diego on a 5-Night Baja Cruise. This was the first time we had been on the Wonder since its refurbishment that added Tiana’s Place. Disney Cruise Line changed the way the dining rotation was specified on the card to add two letters for the name of the restaurant so there was no confusion with Tiana’s and Triton’s. We actually didn’t sit at Table 57, as we discussed in the trip report, because we wanted to sit with our favorite crew member. Since we took an Uber to and from the port (we had additional vacation days before and after the cruise), we didn’t use Disney transportation.
During some recent cruises, our daughter was old enough to go to the Vibe. When the kids check in to the Vibe, they get new Key To The World cards printed on this special card to indicate they are allowed in the Vibe. If they don’t have this card during a “Card Check”, they will be asked to leave the Vibe. Our daughter indicated they do this check every so often.
Some friends sailed in a Concierge Cabin and were kind enough to share their Key To The World card with us. As you can see, they had Port/Airport transfers and also used their Disney Visa Card as the default payment. The card is gold because they were Concierge guests and had access to the Concierge Lounge. There are two interesting items to note with this card. One first is the Concierge check-in desk number “993”. The second item is the crossed Mickey Keys in the bottom left, which also indicates a Concierge guest.
We just added some information on how you can store your Key to the World Card as well, talking about Lanyards available from both Disney and Amazon.
