Welcome aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Vicki!
I'm so happy to hear you are dreaming of a vacation with Captain Mickey! A Disney Cruise Line vacation is always my family's first choice as we are in love with all of the
magic included onboard. With unmatched service,
Broadway caliber entertainment as well as activities and events for the youngest sailors to the young at heart, no other vacation option offers each of us such a unique vacation coupled with family time together! The memories we have made onboard have been worth every penny spent!
My family does like to cruise frequently, so we do have to be creative to keep these epic high seas adventures within our budget. I have two strategies for planning our cruises to keep costs low and the fun at an all-time high. First, I plan our adventures far in advance. Many times, I am already planning our vacations two years ahead of time. This allows me to take advantage of lower costs associated with booking
new cruise itineraries when they are first released to guests. I have found in the past that the best prices, especially during peak season, can be booked at this time.
Second, my family tries to cruise in the "off season." Cruises are in high demand during the times when school is not in session and tend to book quickly. I've observed higher cruise prices during these times as well. We have found some great deals cruising in January, May and September, avoiding the holidays and vacationing when other guests may be preparing for their summer break.
I hope I've steered you in the right direction as you plan your very own epic adventure, Vicki! Cruise back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel if you have any additional questions while you chart a course toward your vacation on the high seas.
Bon voyage! Angie
