Ahoy there, Claudia! Welcome aboard planDisney, where my pals and I are happy to help you out. Thanks for cruising our way with your question.
I'm so excited to hear that you are interested in a
Halloween on the High Seas voyage sailing on the beautiful
Disney Dream. These festive sailings in the fall are my very favorite. I just love to see the not-so-spooky decor and take part in the themed entertainment. I love to dress up in costume too and take a picture with my Disney pals in their Halloween costumes as well. There are some great photo opportunities onboard!
Now, to your question. When you'd like to reserve your stateroom, you will pay an initial deposit. This secures
your reservation. You will be presented with a date when your cruise fare needs to be paid in full, so you may make smaller payments on your own towards your reservation on a timeline that is best for you, so long as you pay your remaining balance by the Payment in Full date. As an example, some Guests like to set a reminder in their calendar to pay in increments once a month. You can log into your reservation and make payments towards your balance whenever you would like.
Alternatively, you may want to work with a travel agent. Travel agents can set up a payment schedule for you and make the payments on your behalf. Ask around amongst your friends or social community for recommendations if you'd like to utilize a travel agent that specializes in Disney vacations.
I think your plans are shaping up for an incredible October.
Castaway Cay looks to be on your itinerary. Disney's private island is a fan favorite for a multitude of reasons. Enjoy the sand, sea, and sun in a picture-perfect setting. Everything you need for a day at the beach is included from the lounge chairs, umbrellas, and towels, to a scrumptious lunch buffet on the island. Check out the
Port Adventures offered on the island if you'd like to do some more exploring. My family takes the opportunity to snorkel and bike around Castaway Cay every time we visit. I'm sure you will find something just perfect for your sailing crew.
Have an amazing voyage and sail our way again if you have any more questions. I'd love to help you as you set your course for adventure!
