Ahoy, Melody! Welcome to planDisney!
Booking a
Placeholder Reservation is such a smart move. It’s one of my favorite tips to share. The prospect of another Disney Cruise is more than enough incentive for me. The deposit is also fully refundable, so there’s really nothing to lose!
I’m happy to help answer your questions, Melody. The deposit you made at the time of booking your Placeholder Reservation will be applied toward the
required deposit for your next cruise. As of this writing,
Disney Cruise Line requires a 10% deposit to confirm your reservation. You are correct that it used to be 20%, but this changed in 2025. This gives Guests more flexibility when planning their vacations with Disney Cruise Line.
The
summer 2027 itineraries just opened for booking this week, Melody! There are so many great destinations to choose from. And as you already know, the Disney Cruise Line ships are stunning. Not so long ago, my favorite vacations were visiting Walt Disney World Resort. But Disney Cruise Line has quickly made its way into my heart. I just love a Disney Cruise!
I hope this answers your questions, Melody. If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your next magical sailing, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at
