Disney Cruise Line Makes Big Change to Guest Boarding Procedure
Disney Cruise Line is changing how guests can board their ship.
If you’ve previously used a photocopy of your birth certificate to board a Disney cruise, please take note of this significant change. Effective immediately, Disney Cruise Line now requires passengers to present an original birth certificate as their travel document. Photocopies and hospital-issued birth certificates will no longer be accepted.

If you don’t have an original copy of your birth certificate, many states offer convenient online ordering options for a fee. To ensure you receive it in time for your Disney cruise, be sure to place your order well in advance of your embarkation date.
