7 NEW Rules Just Hit Disney Cruise Line

We love vacationing on Disney cruises. You can get your daily dose of Disney magic without needing to fuss over Lightning Lanes, dining reservations, or crowds in the theme parks!

We love Disney cruises!

But Disney Cruise Line just released seven new rules that will make Disney cruises look totally different. Starting on June 3rd, these new rules will impact so many cruise traditions!

For decades, cruise passengers have decorated their stateroom doors with fun magnets and accessories. One of our favorite Disney Cruise Line traditions is walking around the ship and seeing all of the fun decor. But starting on June 3rd, Disney is enacting new rules that severely limit the types of door decorations allowed. Soon, door decorations can only be placed on the stateroom door itself – they won’t be allowed on corridor walls or ceilings.

Door decorations can’t be on walls anymore!

Disney has also stated that tape, glue, and other adhesives can’t be used to decorate your door, as they can damage the door’s finish. Decorations should be magnets only! In addition, door decorations should not play sound, music, or videos, as they can disturb guests.

For the last new rule on door decorating, Disney has asked that guests not place anything valuable on their doors. Disney Cruise Line is not liable for the damage or loss of items left on the doors. In other words, unless you’re ok to part with it, don’t leave it out!

We’ll be guarding these plushies with our lives!

Inside your stateroom, Disney Cruise Line has now prohibited over-the-door hanging organizers. This presumably applies to both the front door and other doors inside the stateroom, including the bathroom and closet doors. According to Disney, over-the-door hanging organizers can cause scratches or other damage to stateroom doors and trim.

Disney Cruise Line will also change their alcohol policy starting on June 3rd. Currently, passengers can bring two wine bottles on board, but this will be reduced to one wine bottle or six beers per guest. These must be packed in your carry-on bag that you physically carry on the ship, not a checked bag!

While Disney Cruise Line has limited the number of alcoholic drinks passengers can bring onboard, it will soon be cheaper to consume them. If you bring wine or sparkling wine onboard and want to drink it in the dining room, the corkage fee has decreased from $29 to $20!

That’s all seven changes coming to Disney cruises on June 3rd. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if Disney makes any more rules. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney Cruise Line news!
