If you’re planning to sail on the Disney Magic, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder, and the soon-to-be newest Disney Cruise ship, the Disney Wish, you’ll want to take note of the different COVID testing and vaccine regulations. Most recently, Disney has made an update to include Guests who have recently recovered from COVID-19 and may still test positive.

As noted on the Disney Cruise Line website:

Guests Recently Recovered from COVID-19: In some cases, people who have recently recovered from COVID-19 may still test positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If Guests have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 11 to 90 days of their sail date, they may qualify to be considered as “90-Day-Recovered.” With the appropriate documentation and subsequent approval, Guests considered “90-Day-Recovered” are not required to participate in COVID-19 testing during the Pre-Sail, Embarkation or Disembarkation phases of their voyage. For details on what documentation is required, please visit Before Leaving Home: Know Before You Go.

We simply can’t wait to experience the new ship with cruise experiences unlike any other.
