A Character Phone Call from Disney Cruise Line is a fun way to surprise your child when you are ready to share the news about an upcoming cruise. The call appears to come from Mickey Mouse or another Disney character and is designed to feel like a special, personal moment.
You can request a character call through your My Reservations page. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see a section where you can schedule the call. You can choose a future date and time, or you can request the call immediately. If you select the immediate option, the call usually comes through within a few minutes.
When the phone rings, you will first hear a brief prompt letting you know this is your special call. This gives you a chance to put the phone on speaker. After pressing a button, the character message will play so everyone can hear it.
In some cases, Disney provides a phone number and a PIN instead. You call the number when you are ready, enter the PIN, and then put the phone on speaker once the message begins.
This feature is a simple but memorable way to build excitement and make the cruise reveal feel extra magical for your child.
