Ahoy, Casey! Thank you for your service and welcome to planDisney, where we aim to answer all of your questions about setting sail where magic meets the sea.
Disney Cruise Line has a number of limited-time offers and special promotions for select sailings, including some that are only available for eligible military service members and their families. If you go to the main website and click on the tab at the top of the page labeled “Plan a Cruise,” the second option on the drop-down menu is labeled
“Special Offers.” On that “Special Offers” page, you will see all of the current promotions, which are always changing and being updated.
There are currently two different military promotions being offered. First, there are
special military rates of 25-35% off for select sailings from Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, Southampton, and Vancouver during the months of June to October 2026. Second, in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, there is a
special $250 onboard credit offer for military personnel during select sailings aboard the Disney Wish and Disney Dream throughout 2026. In order to qualify for the military promotions, you must meet the specific eligibility requirements listed for each offer and be able to provide the proper documentation in order to confirm your booking.
Since you are looking at sailing dates in 2027, you would not be able to get a military rate at this time. However, the list of select sailings that are eligible for military rates will continue being updated and your desired cruise could be added to that list in 2027. The military rates are only valid for new bookings and are limited to a maximum of one stateroom per military member per sailing, so unfortunately you cannot book your cruise now and then request to have the discount rate applied later. You can either go ahead and guarantee your reservation by booking now or wait until closer to your desired sailing dates to see if any discounts may be announced in the future before booking. Keep in mind that military rates are not available for every cruise, so there is no guarantee that a discount would ever be offered on your particular itinerary.
Thank you again for your service and for your family’s many sacrifices. If you have any other questions, then feel free to reach back out to us at planDisney. Happy sailing!
