GoofyDisneyMom tell your BIL to FedEX those puppies out to you ASAP because there is nothing more exciting than having your cruise docs in your hands!!!
Just kidding - well, sorta.....
First, your docs come in a really cool cardboard 'pouch' made to look like an old steamer trunk. Next is all your paperwork which includes:
1. Information on Immigration Documentation requirements (i.e. passport, birth certificate, etc)
2. A booklet that explains travel protection
3. A booklet that lists the gifts you can order to have delivered to your stateroom for you arrival
4. The 'Passport to Magic' booklet that talks about all sorts of things including; customs allowance, gratuities, onboard shopping, etc.
5. Pamphlet on how to rent a tux (for the 7-night cruises)
6. And most important, your actual cruise documents booklet that includes; your physical 'tickets' or 'boarding pass' for checking in at the terminal, your luggage tags, important information (i.e. ID requirements etc.), payment authorization form for the credit card you want to use for onboard credits and a whole bunch of 'legal' stuff.
Your packet may or may not include customs forms and info as these may be provided on the ship during your cruise.
You may also find other 'advertising' in here as well - like applying for the Disney Visa Card, etc.
To put your mind at ease all of the forms can be filled out in a matter of minutes while you are waiting to check in at the terminal. The only thing I would be concerned about would be the luggage tags as these are needed if you booked Disney transfers or air with your cruise.
I hope you find this info useful.
