Welcome aboard, Tatiana!
I'm so excited to hear that your family is considering your first cruise with Captain Mickey and his crew! Sailing with Disney is so magical, and in my family's opinion, even more exciting than a visit to the Disney Parks, so I guarantee that you're in for tons of fun!
Disney Cruise Line does offer
promotions at different times, but there's no saying if they'll re-run the same ones you may have seen before. Your best bet is to keep checking on the website and then play around with the
Plan A Cruise page to find the perfect ship and itinerary for your desires and budget. Once you're ready to book, go ahead and do so through the agents at Disney Cruise Line, or your own travel agent. You'll need to put down a deposit as you book and then you're welcome to pay off the cruise however you'd like leading up to the sail date. The final payment must be made 90 or 120 days prior to sailing, based on itinerary. Most of the time, my family and I call each month to pay a little bit on our cruise. Sometimes we will pay the whole thing at once. Other times, we've made three larger payments. It's up to you, Tatiana, as long as you put the deposit down to book and have it completely paid off by the specific date listed for your particular itinerary, you can create your own payment plan! It couldn't be easier!
Have fun planning and please stop back with any other questions about this big adventure! We're happy to help!
