Planning a surprise cruise

[CamColt]

The morning of the cruise you will also receive the health questionnaire to fill out. I believe that comes via email and a notification from the app, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

It definitely comes by email on the morning of the cruise.

I have found that Disney is very helpful when it comes to planning surprises. Sometimes there are snags, after all cast members are human, but most truly want to help you pull off a surprise.

You will be able to check in, upload pictures, and do the heath screening for your wife. I am the one who does it all for everyone, cause I am usually pulling off a surprise of my own.

Update. All info entered (passport, emergency contact, ESTA, photos, payment details for onboard purchases, and PAT printed off) - only thing I'm waiting for now is for it all to be approved (states pending review).

Is there anything else/other documentation that I need to submit (apart from the health questionnaire on the morning of embarkation)?

And yes, I've STILL managed to keep it a secret (so far)

You should be all set. Just make sure the passports are easily accessible (not in checked luggage) at the port.

Approval can take several days or even weeks. In the unlikely event you're still not approved by embarkation day, you'll just need to get photos taken at the port -- not a big deal.

Thank you. I've printed off two PATs just in case and the passports will be ready to come with us along with the ESTAs.

I think I've gone a little OTT with this so I just hope DW, DS, and DD all love the surprise

Yes, they want to see print outs of the ESTA. I would always advise to also have proof of your journey out of the USA after the cruise available (printout of airline reservations or similar).

We are staying onsite with Disney before and after the cruise (will be in Florida for 3 weeks with the cruise sandwiched in the middle) and being transferred to/from the cruise via Disney Cruise line transfer.

Is this trip soon? Please let us know how it all turns out. I hope your family loves their surprise.

Yeah - about 4 weeks away now (can't believe how quickly it has come around)
