Anchors aweigh, Lupita! Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your question!
I have some great news for you! While Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer a traditional payment plan, you can set sail on a
flexible payment schedule that works best for you! Once you’ve placed your deposit to secure your stateroom, you can make payments at your convenience in any amount, as long as the full balance is paid by your final due date. You can easily make payments online by logging into your Disney Cruise Line account or by
calling DCL directly. Just navigate to the “Make a Payment” option under Already Booked in the drop-down menu.
The final payment due date depends on the length of your cruise. For sailings that are one to five nights, the balance is due 90 days before departure. If your adventure is six nights or longer, you’ll need to have it paid off 120 days before you set sail.
One thing to keep in mind is that your cruise must be paid in full before your
booking window opens for Onboard Activities, like specialty dining, spa treatments, and Port Adventures. This window opens at midnight (Eastern time) based on your
Castaway Club status, so once your cruise is all paid up, you can log in to your reservation and start securing those magical extras.
Speaking of smooth sailing, here’s a little planDisney tip! If you’re looking for a fun way to budget for your cruise, consider purchasing Disney Gift Cards and applying them toward your payments. It’s a great way to spread out the cost, and they make the perfect gift. Just drop a hint to family and friends for birthdays or holidays!
And if you find yourself having the best time ever on board (which I’m sure you will!), don’t forget about booking a
Placeholder Reservation through the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. With a small deposit, you’ll lock in a discount on a future sailing while giving yourself the flexibility to pick your cruise date later. It’s the perfect way to ensure more magical voyages ahead!
I hope this helps, Lupita! Wishing you smooth seas and a cruise filled with pixie dust!
