The U.S. Government has proposed federal regulations that would require all travelers to have valid passports when entering or returning to he the United states from the Americas, the Caribbean (including the Bahamas) and Bermuda.

This proposed travel initiative is scheduled to be implemented along the following timeline:

• December 31, 2006 - Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
   
• December 31, 2007 - Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings in the Western Hemisphere.

With the proposed timeline, all guests (including children) sailing with the Disney Cruise Line beginning
December 28, 2006, must have a valid passport to board the Disney Cruise Line vessels, as they will be returning to the U.S. on or after the December 31, 2006 implementation date.   To avoid any disappointment the Cruise Line has ask that you provide them with your sailing party's passport numbers at least 90 days prior to your vacation commencement.  Due to these U.S. passport regulations, guests without a valid passport after the implementation date will be denied boarding.

For the latest information regarding implementation dates and updates on this proposed U.S. government regulation, please visit the U.S. Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov or call the U.S. National Passport Center at 877-4USA-PPT.
 

All non-U.S. citizens, including alien residents of the United States, must have valid passports and necessary visas at time of embarkation to ensure his/her ability to re-enter the United States upon the ship's return. Travel documents required throughout the vacation are the responsibility of the guest. These guidelines are based on U.S. government regulations, which are subject to change at any time. Any guest traveling without proper documentation, as mentioned above, will not be allowed to board the vessel.
