Ahoy, Gustavo!
Welcome aboard planDisney! I’m glad you stopped by with this question, because making that Disney Cruise Line reservation is the moment when planning turns into something real. It’s a lot like the beginning of Finding Nemo—once you touch the boat (or ship in this case), the adventure officially begins.
If my nautical instincts are steering us in the right direction, it sounds like you’ve already zeroed in on the sailing that’s calling your name. From here, you have a few solid ways to move forward. You can
call Disney Cruise Line directly and let a friendly Cast Member guide you through the entire process, answering questions and double-checking the details along the way. If you prefer to book online, head to the Disney Cruise Line website and select the “
Plan a Cruise” tab. From there, you can use the filters to narrow down your ship, itinerary, and dates until you land on your perfect match. You can also work with a travel agent, and if you go that route, I recommend looking for an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner with the Mickey-ear logo so you know you’re in experienced hands.
Before you set sail through the booking screens, it helps to have a few things ready. In most cases, you’ll
need to pay a deposit at the time of booking, which is currently 10 percent of the cruise fare. If you choose a restricted stateroom category, where Disney assigns the stateroom, or if your sailing is within 75 days of departure, payment in full is typically required right away. You’ll also want to have each Guest’s full name, date of birth, and address handy so the process goes smoothly. Once everything is entered and your payment is complete, you’ll receive your reservation number, and that’s when the real fun begins: counting down to your
activities booking window and imagining yourself walking up the gangway for the first time.
I hope this helps as you take that exciting step toward booking your Disney cruise. Once that reservation is confirmed, the
countdown officially starts, and every day feels a little more magical!
Sea ya real soon as the adventure continues into a bright new year,
Dustin
