Lots of cruisers like to personalize their stay by decorating their stateroom doors. The doors are magnetic, so you can create your own magnet art, or check out online stores that sell fun magnets. Some Guests also put a dry erase board on their door so that a passing family members, or even a passing Crew Member, can leave messages for you.
If you need to wash or iron anything, there are laundry rooms on each floor of the Magic, Wonder, Dream, and Fantasy. Facilities on the Wish and Treasure are found on Deck 8
Your luggage should fit nicely under the bed to keep it out of the way and give you more closet space for your belongings.
Even on the most placid of seas, the Disney Cruise Line vessels will experience some movement. Empty hangers in the closet sometimes tap into one another as a result of the gentle movement of the ship. If you don’t want to listen to the clicking of the hangers while you rest, simply place the unused hangers into a drawer in your stateroom.
When you get into your room, there is a slot near the door to put your room key in. This will turn on the lights and heat/air. However, any card will do. So, if you have an infant card you don’t use while on the ship, or any store rewards card, etc., you can use that instead and keep things on if you like.
CHARACTERS AND PHOTOS
There are character and princess greetings aboard the ship. Some of the character appearances are completely random and unscheduled, so you’ll have to be on the lookout for some amazing opportunities. Social distancing protocols are maintained during character interactions.
While Guests are welcome to take plenty of photos with their own devices, Shutters is the professional photography service on the ship. You can view and purchase your photographs daily. Most dinners, pre-dinner and character encounters will have a professional photographer available for pictures. If you think you are missing any photos tell them at Shutters and they can assist you. You can purchase photobooks, individual photos, and an all-included package. Stop by Shutters for pricing.
