When is the Best Time to Book a Disney Cruise?

When is the Best Time to Book a Disney Cruise?


NOW!!! June 26th, 2023 the itineraries for the end of 2024 and early 2025 come out! Read on!! Pearl Castaway Club Members can start booking on the 19th!

 

When is the best time to book a Disney Cruise and why then?? I know you want to book for this summer or maybe the fall. That is NOT a good idea! What?!?!? Ya, book 12-16 months out if you want some of the best prices! Yes, you can book for Summer 2023 through Summer 2024 now but remember the closer to the cruise the more expensive it will be.

 

The best time to book a Disney Cruise is as soon as you can when new itineraries are released. If you are a Castaway Club Member you can book before the General Public. How many days before the General Public is based on your Castaway Club Level. Remember late September 2023 to a few cruises in February 2025 will be released June 26th, 2023! Pearl Castaway Members can start booking June 19th!

 

Why the rush to book?? The most popular cruises book quickly, and prices go up quickly after the ships start to fill. I have seen some levels of cabins be sold out before the first day is over for popular or unique cruise itineraries! Remember the closer to the cruise you book the higher the fare.

 

What will be the big ticket cruises for this release of itineraries? Wonder to Hawaii, any of the South Pacific Island Cruises on the Disney Wonder.  Halloween on the High Seas and Merrytime Cruises on all ships are always highly sought after.

 

Have you decided you want to wait until the next release date? Well tell your Travel Agent and see if they will put you on a list to notify you about the releases. The basic itineraries are released a week or two before the date and a Travel Agent can help you get a copy so you can look at it before they go on sale.

 

There are other ways to save on a Disney Cruise. One of the easiest is purchasing Discounted Disney Gift Cards at Target using a Target Red Card and save 5%! When you are on a cruise make a $250 deposit on a Placeholder Cruise and save 10%. Pay for the Placeholder Cruise using Discounted Disney Gift Cards and save 15%!! That is $15 per hundred dollars, or $150 for each thousand dollars! That is worth the little extra work!

 

Let us know if you want to book one of these cruises or be put on a list for the next release dates.
