Hello, Beverly!
Disney's pixie dusted voyages are a great way for families to adventure together and make magical memories. There's so much included in a Disney Cruise vacation, and the quality you get for the price you pay, makes it a top vacation choice for families. Everyone in your family will be glad you picked DCL. You'll be wanting to plan for your next one, soon after you experience the Disney difference on your very first cruise.
I suggest playing around with the online reservation site, now that you are looking to
find a Cruise that will fit your budget and schedule. Departing from Port Canaveral are the Disney Dream and the Fantasy for October 2015. Keep in mind that the Disney Dream will have limited voyages for the month of October due to a scheduled dry dock. Have you thought about going to the Miami, FL port instead? If you are, you can check out the Disney Magic's 5-night itineraries to sail to the Caribbean. The site is very easy to use, and you can even check out the itineraries offered on different dates, ships and other ports.
For your reference, you might want to check out the
Disney Cruise Blog site, for the latest news and offers published. As an example, the main website is advertising
special offers and lower rates for Disney Cruises that they advertise throughout the year. I hope you come up with a Disney Cruise voyage that works for your schedule and budget, Beverly!
Have a great time planning,
~ Dolly
