    Cruise discount on points

    Hey there, Diane! Welcome Home to a fellow Disney Vacation Club Member, and welcome back to planDisney - it's so great to see you again. It sounds like you're thinking about how to use your Membership for a dream vacation with Disney Cruise Line, and I'll be happy to help"point" you in the right direction. Grab your sunscreen, and let's dive right in!

    Now is a great time to think about setting sail with DCL, as they recently released some new itineraries that sound amazing! At the same time, DVC shared details for a 20% discount on some fall 2027 and spring 2028 fares for eligible Members for select sailings on the Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy. You can check out the Points Charts to see what you would need to book your preferred stateroom type and itinerary. As an added bonus, if you book by October 31, 2026, you'll receive a $250 onboard credit to use during your trip!

    Diane, it's important to keep in mind that for DVC bookings with Disney Cruise Line, you will need to exchange Vacation Points for Reservation Points. One Guest in your travel party must be paid for entirely with Reservation Points, while you can use cash or points for the other travelers. That points-only Guest can be a child or infant who will require fewer points than an adult. To exchange your points and make your cruise reservation, simply contact Member Services, and they'll be glad to handle that for you. The transaction to exchange points carries a one-time, non-refundable fee (currently $95, subject to change). 

    Once you set sail on your vacation, you'll be able to enjoy some additional Member perks! Stop by the onboard DVC desk daily to get some fun swag, and check your Navigator app, as many sailings include a Member celebration or other fun events. I also recommend taking a peek at the Member Benefits section of the DVC website before you depart so that you're up to date on any discounts or special offers that might be available for you!

    I hope that this information is just what you need to book a practically perfect cruise, Diane! If our planDisney crew can help with other questions about your sailing, your DVC Membership, or another Disney adventure (hooray!), we're always here for you.
