Tips to locking in a Disney cruise vacation for your family

Apr 25

I hear it all the time: “One day, we’ll find the time for a family vacation.”

As a mom of two teens, trust me—if you keep putting it off, you’ll blink and realize the years have flown by, and that bucket-list family vacation never happened. Schedules are crazy with school, sports, and life in general, but I’ve never met a parent who regretted taking the time for a Disney Cruise vacation.

Family trips give you the chance to slow down, laugh together, experience new cultures, and make memories that last a lifetime. So, why not make "one day" today?

Here are my top tips for locking in a Disney Cruise at the best rate for your family:

Book Your Disney Cruise Early

Disney Cruise Line has only four ships (soon to be five!), which means limited availability and high demand. The earlier you book, the better your chances of getting:

The lowest prices before they rise.
The best cabin options for your family size and preferences.
Priority booking for excursions, character meet-and-greets, and dining experiences.

Right now, you can book sailings well into 2023—so don’t wait!

Watch for Last-Minute Disney Cruise Deals

If your schedule is flexible, you can sometimes snag last-minute Disney Cruise discounts up to 25% off select sailings. These pop up when ships have unsold cabins as the sail date gets closer.

💡 Pro Tip: I keep an eye on these deals for my clients, so you don’t have to!

Get a Disney Visa Card for Extra Perks

With a Disney Visa credit card, you can:

Earn reward dollars on everyday purchases to use toward Disney parks, hotels, cruises, and souvenirs.
Save 10% on onboard shopping during your cruise just by showing your card.
Stack your card perks with my concierge-level planning to maximize savings.
