✨Ahoy Castaways! ⚓️🎁
Did you know Disney Cruise Line has a loyalty program for their sailors? It’s called the “Castaway Club” and all you have to do to be a member is go on a Disney Cruise! After your first cruise, you will be issued a club member number. When you arrive for your next cruise, you’ll be a Silver Castaway Club Member and will receive a small gift in your stateroom! The ones pictured above are for Gold Castaway Club. The levels are Pearl, Platinum, Gold and Silver. Your Castaway status depends on how many sailings you’ve completed. Each level comes new member benefits like early booking dates, different stateroom gifts for each level and as you rise in status there are even some dining experiences included!

Are you a member of the Castaway Club???
Would you like to be???

Great tip from Kelly! Refresh, refresh, refresh!!!
Getting in boarding groups for your favorite ride can be exciting or stressful depending on how you look at it. So take Kelly's advice - when you're trying to secure a group, keep refreshing!
When the boarding groups open up, you want to be among the first to secure your group. So refreshing keeps you open to sn**ch up that ressie as soon as it pops up. It can also reset you if you're stuck in a spinning loop.

Ever go somewhere and say “Oh. If I had known that, I would’ve…”? Working with a travel agent can save you some headaches. One of those headaches can come by being ill informed and just not having enough information. Our agents will make sure you are prepared for a “smooth sailing” adventure! And if something comes up, you’ve got someone in your corner.
