If you are not paid off, you can't open the booking tab which has the start times. If you can send me the list of excursions you are interested in, I could look up the times for you. I don't think DCL will let you pre-book two excursions through them for the same day. Sometimes they let you do that once you are on board. They also seem to be pretty strict on times since I could not book Palo within two hours of returning from an excursion.

You can pre-book 2 excursions as long as there is 2 hours between the end time of the first and the start time of the 2nd.
Once onboard you may be able to book a second excursion if there's less time or you can call and ask if they can pre-book you manually with less time in between excursions.

Hi, just found this thread. We are booked for this cruise and are so excited! We are cruise newbies, but huge Disney fans. My sister worked at Disneyland for over five years, only had to leave because she moved away. We have already found numerous posts so helpful. Cruisers are:

Me (30)
DH (36)
DS (19 months at time of cruise)
Sister (32)
And grandparents

We are super excited but also worried about having a toddler with us, the g-parents are willing to stay behind and entertain the little one so we can do some excursions. Hope there will be some left for us when we can book!

We are paid off.

I am trying to learn about the website so, while your offer is kind, I want to learn how to find info myself. I followed your instructions and can find the duration of excursions but not the start time.

I have decided it is not a big deal. We will book what we like and may even wait until we are on board as sometimes the options are different.

And welcome to the new cruisers ! We have not always gotten what we thought we wanted but also never had a bad DCL excursion!

From previous cruises, you only get times once your booking window opens up because those are the excursions that still have room for bookings.

Ah Ha!!! Got it. The missing step is you need to actually try and book the excursion (click on it after you get into the excursions tab). For example, try booking the train in Skagway. Select the people in your party you want to go. Hit continue. Then it will tell you the times of the excursion, listing all options for times. If you don't like the times or want to find the times for a different excursion, just cancel , and try booking another excurision.


So far I've not been successful in seeing if you can book multiple excursions on the same if they are two hours apart, but that's because I haven't found any yet that meet that time separation.

THANK. YOU.

I never tried booking one so you are right--that is the missing piece.
I will try it later when I am on the computer instead of the I-phone.
