Disney Character Calls

[dizzyr]

Can anyone tell me what exactly the character calls are? Are they free? Will my kids easily be able to tell they aren't the "real characters?"

Yes, the calls are free. It is a pre recorded call. It is Mickey or Goofy telling them they are happy they will be joining them. For example, I had one last year, and it was Mickey. He said something like,"I'm so happy you will be sailing with me to Alaska on the Wonder. I'm looking forward to seeing you." I don't have kids, but I had the call made because I knew my wife would get a kick out of a call from Mickey.

LOVE the character calls!! We did one for our last cruise. You can choose the time you want them to call so you can be ready. I answered the phone and then told my son it was for him. It was Mickey and he said something about I am happy you will be cruising with me. My son's eyes got huge he was SO excited that Mickey called him. He asked me how did he know our number. He talked about that phone call for days. It was so cute! If you have kids do it!!

Here is a youtube video that explains it.

I booked for the day before we fly out in March. I have never done this either and my DSY is so excited. He is 11 and can't wait for Goofy to call. You pick a time and a character. We had the choice of Mickey or Goofy.

I scheduled 1 call about a week prior and another one the day prior to our cruise last year. We put each on speakerphone so all could hear. DD7 loved it and talked about it at school for weeks afterward!

Yes they are free. I think each stateroom is allowed up to 2 calls. You schedule the date and time as well as what phone number (we did 1 at home and 1 on the cell since we were already in FL). They will try back in a few minutes if you miss answering the first time.

I had a call sent to my college age daughter and she loved it! And yes, it really was Mickey!
