Ahoy, Valerie! Welcome to planDisney, where we aim to answer all of your Disney Cruise Line questions about setting sail where magic meets the sea.
As you know, the
Placeholder Reservation is a special onboard offer, which allows guests to unlock future savings of at least 10% on their next cruise by putting down a deposit while they are still onboard. There is a limit of one future cruise booking per household for a maximum of two staterooms and the current requirement is a $250.00 deposit per stateroom. The offer can only be used on a cruise that sails within 24 months from when the Placeholder Reservation was booked, plus sail dates are always subject to availability and blockout dates do apply.
Right now, Disney Cruise Line also has a
special offer for Southern California residents to save up to 30% off voyage fares for select cruises departing from
San Diego in September 2026 to January 2027. To be eligible for that offer, at least one adult in each stateroom must provide valid proof of residency in a qualifying zip code from 90000 to 93599.
Unfortunately, neither of the offers can be combined with any other special offers or discounts. That means that you can choose to use your Placeholder Reservation or choose the Southern California residents offer, but cannot apply both to the same sailing. Remember that your Placeholder Reservation is fully refundable and can be cancelled at any time, but it is also good for a full 24 months and could be used on a wider variety of itineraries than the Southern California residents promotion.
I hope you are able to book your perfect itinerary using one of your eligible offers. If you have any more questions, feel free to sail back over to planDisney. Happy sailing!
