Welcome aboard, Lauren!
Oh boy, welcome to the Walt Disney World Resort
Annual Passholder family! I’m so happy you have made this investment in enjoying the theme parks in a whole new way. I am also an Annual Passholder but adore
Disney Cruise Line, so I’m happy to share what’s available for special savings onboard.
Unfortunately, the Walt Disney World Resort and Disney Cruise Line are considered different brands offering different products, so there is no Annual Passholder discount that can be applied to cruising. While they both are certainly under the Disney family of magical vacations, the Annual Passholder benefits do not include Disney Cruise Line offers. As a new Passholder, please be sure to review all these special savings to take advantage of
unique discounts on special experiences, events, tours, food, and merchandise at the Walt Disney World Resort.
If you are a
Disney Vacation Club Member or
Chase Disney Visa Cardholder, these affiliations do translate to onboard savings for purchases such as merchandise during your cruise. Be sure these affiliations are listed in your Disney Account and they will enable you a discount on select purchases. Please see the full list of benefits for Disney Visa Cardholders with both
Disney Cruise Line and the
Walt Disney World Resort so you can maximize your savings.
If you have an affiliation with the military or U.S. Department of Defense, please
see this extensive list of eligible Guests for the Disney Cruise Line Military Rates. Be sure to keep an eye on the
Special Offers page on the Disney Cruise Line website for new savings as they become available, too.
The best way to take advantage of your Annual Pass at the Walt Disney World Resort with a cruise experience is to extend your cruise out of Florida by a few days and enjoy some extra time in the theme parks with your Annual Pass and applicable discounts. A land and sea vacation is a perfect escape, and you can take advantage of the great
ground transportation options to navigate between the two destinations seamlessly.
I hope this helps you see what’s possible for your special savings with Disney Cruise Line and how to combine these two fantastic vacations for a special experience for your family. Please let us know what other questions you have as you plan your next adventure, no matter the Disney destination.
Wishing you many magical memories,
Amy
