At most destinations, the ship docks right at the pier so you can disembark via a gangway. At certain ports of call, the ship remains anchored offshore, and passengers are transported to the dock via smaller tender boats from the Disney cruise vessel.
For Your Security
All adult Guests must present a valid photo ID along with their Key to the World card when boarding and disembarking at all ports, including Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Disney Cruise Line requires children under 18 to be accompanied by an adult traveling in the same stateroom. However, a parent or guardian may allow their child to go ashore with another specified adult Guest in their travel party by completing the “Traveling with Minors” section of their Online Check-In. Or, once on board, you may sign a Debarkation Authorization for Minors Form at the Guest Services Desk. Additionally, a parent or guardian may complete a Minors Ashore Approval Form at Guest Services or during their Online Check-In to allow children ages 14 and older to leave the ship without adult supervision at Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Children participating in Port Adventures must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
