If you have sailed with Disney Cruise Line before, you may already have a loyalty status through the Castaway Club. Your Castaway Club level is based on the number of eligible Disney Cruise Line sailings you have completed.
Checking your status is useful because your membership level can affect when you can book certain activities, access new itineraries, and complete other pre-cruise planning tasks. Disney Cruise Line currently recognizes four Castaway Club levels: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Pearl.
The easiest way to check your Disney Cruise Line loyalty status is to sign in to the Castaway Club section using the MyDisney account associated with your Castaway Club membership.
Disney Cruise Line's loyalty program is called Castaway Club. Guests who complete an eligible Disney cruise automatically become Castaway Club members after their first sailing. Disney also assigns members a personal Castaway Club Member ID.
Your membership level is determined by the number of eligible cruises you have completed.
The current levels are:
Castaway Club LevelEligible Completed Cruises
Silver1–4
Gold5–9
Platinum10–24
Pearl25+
Disney Cruise Line states that select sailings, including certain media, vendor, and Cast Member business fares, may not count toward Castaway Club membership levels.
Start by signing in to the MyDisney account associated with your Disney Cruise Line information.
Disney Cruise Line says that connecting your MyDisney account allows you to access the Castaway Club member dashboard after completing your first sailing. The dashboard provides access to membership benefits and sailing information.
After signing in, go to the Castaway Club section of the Disney Cruise Line website.
If your account is already connected, you should be able to view your Castaway Club information without repeatedly entering your member number.
Disney explains that the Castaway Club ID only needs to be entered once when connecting the account. After the connection is established, future access can be made using the MyDisney account email and password.
Your Castaway Club dashboard should show your current loyalty level and relevant cruise information.
Depending on your history, the displayed level may be:
You can also review your past sailings through the Castaway Club account. Disney specifically recommends logging in to look up your membership level and review completed cruises.
Your status is based on the number of completed eligible cruises, rather than simply the number of reservations you have made.
For example:
This means booking several cruises does not automatically increase your level. The qualifying sailings must be completed and must meet Disney's eligibility requirements.
Your Castaway Club Member ID is different from your reservation or confirmation number.
Disney Cruise Line says your Castaway Club Member ID can appear on documents such as:
If you do not have those documents, Disney says a previous reservation number, also called a confirmation number, may be used when connecting your Castaway Club information. The reservation number can be found in the booking confirmation email and pre-arrival documents.
Sometimes your loyalty information may not appear as expected after signing in.
First, check that you are using the correct MyDisney account. Your Castaway Club information needs to be connected with the appropriate account.
If you cannot connect your account or have problems connecting another guest in your stateroom, Disney Cruise Line recommends contacting its support team for assistance.
You should also verify whether all of your completed sailings are showing in your cruise history.
If the number of completed cruises displayed online is different from your actual eligible cruise history, contact Disney Cruise Line.
Disney specifically provides assistance for Castaway Club members who notice a discrepancy between their completed cruises and the number displayed online. For guests in the United States and Canada, Disney lists for this type of assistance. Guests outside those countries can use Disney Cruise Line's international contact information.
When contacting Disney, have useful information available, such as:
This information can help Disney investigate a missing or incorrectly recorded sailing.
Yes. Your Castaway Club level can influence when you can access certain pre-cruise planning opportunities.
Disney Cruise Line currently lists the following activity-planning windows:
These windows can apply to activities and dining, although restrictions may apply depending on the reservation and experience.
Your membership level can therefore be important if you want earlier access to popular activities, specialty dining, Port Adventures, or other planning options.
Not necessarily.
Disney Cruise Line explains that Castaway Club levels are stateroom specific. Guests staying in different staterooms may have different booking windows based on the highest Castaway Club level of the members in their respective staterooms.
For example, if you are Platinum but another family member is staying in a separate stateroom without the same status, you should not automatically assume that person will receive your booking window.
If you are traveling as a group, check how your reservations and staterooms are connected before planning activities.
Castaway Club benefits vary according to membership level, but Disney currently describes benefits such as:
Higher membership levels generally receive earlier access and additional benefits. Disney's current Castaway Club information shows Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Pearl as the four membership tiers.
Benefits and booking windows can change, so it is best to verify the current terms before making plans around a particular benefit.
These two numbers serve different purposes.
This identifies you as a member of Disney Cruise Line's loyalty program.
This identifies a particular cruise reservation.
Disney explains that a reservation number can be used when connecting Castaway Club information if you do not have your Castaway Club Member ID available.
Keeping both numbers available can make future cruise planning easier.
To avoid problems with your Castaway Club account:
These simple steps can help prevent delays when you are preparing for your next cruise.
Sign in to the MyDisney account associated with your Castaway Club membership and access the Castaway Club section. Disney says members can use this area to view their membership level and past sailings.
Silver is the first Castaway Club level. Guests qualify after completing one eligible Disney Cruise Line sailing.
You need to complete five eligible cruises to reach Gold status. Gold currently covers five through nine eligible completed sailings.
Platinum status begins after completing 10 eligible cruises. Platinum currently covers 10 through 24 completed eligible sailings.
You need to complete 25 eligible cruises to reach Pearl Castaway Club status.
Yes. Disney Cruise Line says Castaway Club members can log in to review their membership level and past sailings.
Contact Disney Cruise Line and explain the discrepancy. Disney has a specific process for members whose displayed completed-cruise count does not match their actual eligible sailing history.
No. Disney states that certain sailings purchased at select fare types may not qualify when calculating Castaway Club membership levels.
Checking your Disney Cruise Line loyalty status is straightforward once your Castaway Club information is connected to your MyDisney account. Sign in, open the Castaway Club section, and review your membership level and sailing history.
The current Castaway Club structure includes Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Pearl, with status determined by the number of eligible cruises you have completed.
If your status or cruise history looks incorrect, do not assume that you have lost your loyalty benefits. Review your account details and contact Disney Cruise Line if a completed eligible sailing is missing. Keeping your Castaway Club information accurate can also help you take advantage of the correct booking and planning windows for your next Disney cruise.
