Welcome back, Angela! You sound a lot like me, a bargain hunter! I love a good deal when I find it, whether it be online, in stores, or for a magical vacation with Disney Cruise Line! Today being Black Friday, perhaps you've been up for hours already, out shopping for those on your Christmas list! If so, I hope you've found the perfect gift for each of them! I've found some great gifts in the Black Friday deals today on
ShopDisney.com!
While I don't know of any Black Friday sales for Disney Cruise Line, I can give you some hints on finding a great price on your cruise with Captain Mickey and his crew. First of all, follow the
Disney Parks Blog, as this is one of the first places where you'll hear of the new itineraries for Disney Cruise Line as soon as they're released. I find that the best prices and best stateroom selection tend to be right when the new itineraries are released, usually about a year and a half prior to sailing. The first part of the 2019 itineraries for January through April were just released last month!
If you don't want to book so far out, at times there will be Guarantee Stateroom prices (GTY) on Disney Cruise Line's website as you look at individual cruises and the costs of each
stateroom. At times, this happens closer to sailing if the ship still has plenty of staterooms available. Guests who book one of these category of staterooms don't get to choose their exact stateroom, but are guaranteed one in the category they choose or better, and they pay a lower price than usual for that category. When my family and I have booked GTY staterooms, we've had great experiences with getting a very nice stateroom in the category we booked, and a even getting an upgraded stateroom once too! A great savings! Have fun planning, Angela!
