Pre-Planning
Families preparing to sail on Disney Cruise Line with little ones have access to an online service that allows them to order baby supplies in advance of their cruise and have them delivered to their stateroom. The service is exclusive for Disney Cruise Line guests and provided by Babies Travel Lite, an online retailer offering more than 1,000 brand-name baby products including diapers, baby food, infant formula and specialty travel items.
