Ahoy there, Nikki!
Welcome aboard planDisney! First off, a huge thank you to you and your crew for your service! As a fellow military member, I know firsthand how exciting it is to hunt for those
Disney special military rates—it’s like searching for the Heart of Te Fiti, except instead of restoring the balance of the ocean, you’re unlocking the magic of a discounted Disney cruise!
Military rates are typically released about two to six months before the sail date, so as we head into spring, keep those binoculars handy—we should start spotting new special offers for summer sailings any time now! These discounts are based on availability and Disney’s needs, so while they don’t appear for every cruise, when they do show up, they can be a treasure trove of savings worthy of Captain Jack Sparrow himself.
The best place to chart your course for military rates is the
Special Offers page. New discounts are typically updated on Wednesdays, so I recommend setting a weekly reminder to check in and see if your dream cruise has a special military rate waiting for you!
One important thing to keep in mind—these discounted sailings are often released after the booking windows open for activities like adult dining,
Port Adventures, and spa treatments. If one of those experiences is on your Disney wish list and it's already booked up when you reserve your cruise, don’t lose hope! When you board the ship, check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app or head to the designated location for dining requests (listed in the app) to see if any spots have magically opened up. Sometimes all it takes is a little faith, trust, and persistence!
If you’re like me and can’t resist staying in the know about all things Disney, the
Disney Parks Blog is a great way to keep up with announcements—including new special offers and magical surprises that might be in store for your sailing!
No matter when or where you set sail, a Disney cruise is always an adventure worth saluting! May your military rate dreams come true and your next voyage be filled with sunshine, sea breezes, and just the right amount of pixie dust!
Sea ya real soon with love in the air and magic everywhere,
Dustin
