Married name on reservation but passport in maiden name...help!!

[Frwinkley]

I recently was married. My DH and I booked a cruise using my married name. We leave July 22 and there's no way to have my passport changed in time.

Can I ask Disney just to change the name for me to my maiden name?

Has anyone had this experience?

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate that you can bring with you? I remember having to do that for my honeymoon to Mexico when my passport had my maiden name on it... wasn't a big deal if I recall. Congrats on the marriage!

I believe you can just give DCL a call and ask to have your name changed to match your ID.

It's always recommended for a new bride to travel under her maiden name. I agree with Shmoo -- call DCL (or have your TA call) to explain the situation and ask that they change your name. That's the easiest route. Now... do you have airfare booked, and in which name? That may be trickier to change, but again I suggest contacting the airline.

Best wishes and enjoy your honeymoon!!

Thank you everyone! Disney was able to change the reservation to my maiden name. Since we are driving to the port, my passport was my only concern.

If you do bring a copy of the your marriage cert, make sure it is the one that was completely filed with the seal and court stamp. Brought our notarized one and found out it wasn't the final one that is processed through the courthouse and they wouldn't accept it (this was years ago).
