Frequently asked questions

How many bags can I bring on a Disney cruise?

Disney allows 2 checked bags per guest. See "Baggage policy" above for the full rules and any exceptions.

Is there a weight limit for Disney luggage?

Disney does not publish a per-bag weight limit. Bags still need to be light enough for you and the pier porters to handle, and to fit in your stateroom.

Can I bring a carry-on bag on Disney?

Yes. You carry one bag onto the ship yourself at embarkation. Keep medications, travel documents, valuables, and swimwear in it, because checked bags are delivered to your stateroom several hours after you board.

When is checked baggage delivered to my Disney stateroom?

Checked bags are collected at the pier on embarkation day and delivered to your stateroom door over the following few hours, often not until late afternoon or evening. Pack anything you need for the first few hours, including medication and a swimsuit, in the bag you carry on.

What should I pack for a Disney cruise?

Attach the Disney Cruise Line luggage tags to every checked bag before you arrive at the terminal so they route to the right stateroom. Our cruise packing list has a full pre-cruise checklist.
