New to Disney - Towel animals & Bringing on Beer

[maryandmarge]

First time Disney cruisers - we are  on the Magic Marvel trip 2/10/20 - can anyone tell me if the room stewards leave towel animals every night in the rooms?    

Also I know you you are allowed to take a 6 pack of beer on the ship at each port.    Are you allowed to carry these around and drink anywhere on the ship and at dinner or is this just reserved for your room?    I know I read a post where if you want to take a glass of wine to dinner from your room you can ask the bartender for an empty glass to take back to your room to use.    Looking forward to spending this 5 day cruise with family that includes a 6 & 8 year old grandkids who have never cruised.    Thanks in advance for answers and any advise you might want to share.   Happy travels.

Hi!  Most nights you will get a towel animal.  Not usually the first night as the staff are quite busy with the changing of guests, but pretty much every other night.  Bring on beer is generally reserved for your stateroom, but if you buy the aluminum cans shaped like bottles I doubt anyone would notice.

 

We love the Magic and took my boys on it on our very first cruise 7 years ago...and now we are gold.  Have a great cruise!

Thanks so much for the answers above.     Glad to hear that we will get towel animals - that is one of my favorite parts of the end of the day - coming to the room and seeing what kind of animal they left us.    NCL has discontinued doing the towel animals but the room stewards might do them if you request it.   We were on a 13 day fall foliage Quebec City to New York City and we had an animal all nights except one :)    Our room steward on the NCL Dawn was great. 

Do you know if the Disney Magic has the slot where you have to put your room key in order for the lights to come on when you enter the room?    Checking to see if I need to take an old casino card to put in the slot because I for sure would walk out without my room key if it wasn't sitting right next to my daily stuff to take with me.   

Safe travels...

Only the Fantasy and the Dream require a card to be kept in its holder to keep the room lights on.

Thanks so much - good to know.

I bought the beer mug. When I finished my draft beer I would take the glass back to the room and fill with beer I brought. Once your done, take mug to any bar and get the token (card). I would take the mug filled with my beer to dinner regularly, no one cared.

Thanks - I passed this idea on to my son to give him options...
