General Disney Cruise Line Packing List

This is a general packing list for any Disney Cruise. You can check the Disney Cruise Website for suggestions for the particular destination you are going to. For example if you are going to Alaska bring more warm clothing and things you an layer. Dress comfortably for vacation – plus bring the appropriate attire for such activities as dinners and Port Adventures.

Embarkation Day Basics

Pack these items in a day bag to keep with you, as your luggage may not arrive at your stateroom until a few hours after the ship leaves port.

·         Medication (in their original containers)

o   I have found that having a picture of your pill container label with a description and picture of the pills will do

·         Passport and/or required citizenship documentation

·         Camera and accessories (batteries, memory card, etc.)

·         Extra prescription glasses or contact lenses

·         Sunscreen or hat

Dining attire

Disney Cruise Line ships feature an array of diverse dining experiences, from casual to upscale. Be sure to follow the dress code for your restaurant:

·         Main Dining – Dining attire is cruise casual in all 3 main dining restaurants, meaning no swimwear or tank tops. Guests often like to dress up, but this is optional.

·         Adult Exclusive Dining – Adult exclusive restaurants, like Pal aboard Disney Cruise Line ships are elegant dining experiences and Guests are requested to dress in a manner consistent with the restaurant’s ambiance. Formal or semi-formal attire is recommended. Also permitted is dress-casual attire with a polished look, such as dress pants, jeans in good condition, collard shirts, dressy tops and lifestyle shoes. For brunch at Palo and Palo Steakhouse, dress shorts are acceptable. Clothing such as T-shirts, swimwear and sports attire are not permitted.

·         Themed Nights – On 7-Night sailings and longer cruises, the ship offers themed nights – including formal night – and you’re encouraged to dress up and participate in the evening’s festivities.

Check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to find attire advice for each night’s dinner.

Some Guests dress to the theme of the Restaurant they eat at that night. Some Guests dress to the theme of the evening’s live show. Never forget Pirate Night! Pirate Night is on most Disney Cruises and is a lot of fun.

Dressing up or bounding is NOT required. Nobody judges you if your family has matching T-shirts and shorts at dinner or if you have gone all out bounding or dressing up fancy. The rule is to be comfortable and appropriately dressed.

Please DO NOT bring:

• Firearms and ammunition, any kind of knife, sword, dagger, bullwhip or any other type of weapon. These items are not allowed on the ship under any circumstances. Guests found in possession of any weapons or similar prohibited items on their person or in their baggage may be denied boarding and are subject to severe legal penalties.
• Homemade, precooked or other perishable items.
• Irons, bottle warmers, sporting equipment, balloons, candles, musical instruments, illegal drugs inclusive of medically prescribed and synthetic marijuana.
• Coolers, except those carrying medications, baby food or items related to dietary constraints.
• Mexico recently placed a law stating Vape Pens are illegal. You may use them in the smoking section of the ship but for your legal safety do not take them ashore in Mexican Ports.
• Please check the Disney Cruise website for a full list or prohibited items.
