Last Minute Disney Cruise

Top 10 Tips For A Last Minute Disney Cruise:


1. Consider booking your Discount Disney Cruise as early as possible. Get a low-priced stateroom and you could get an upgrade. You probably won't spend time in your room much any way so book the cheaper standard inside cabin.

When booking this category, you won't be assigned a room right away, instead Disney Cruise Line guarantees you a room at this rate and waits to see how the ship fills up. Here's where the magic (upgrade) happens. Everyone wants to get the lowest fare that they can so they are probably going to sell out on the lowest fare. Once it's sold out, what's going to happen is Disney Cruise Line will begin to upgrade people to make room to sell more of the lower fares in order to fill up the ship. They reward those that bought booked their fare first with an upgrade.

2. Request an upgrade when you check in at the port. Of course it depends on how full the cruise is but, sometimes you can get upgraded for a much less expensive fee than if you booked that cabin category originally.

3. Book your vacation in the off season. There are usually discounts available in the fall and spring. The cost in October will be much cheaper than July.

4. Book your trip at the last minute. This is a bit more risky, but Disney gives last minute discounts anywhere from 3 months to 3 days in advance.

5. If you are flexible and are willing to wait until the last minute when the cruise operators need to get the boat filled then try looking for deals at places like Priceline.com Cruises. Thier 110% lowest price guarantee is hard to beat.

6. Find a travel agent that specializes in Disney vacations. Sometimes it is worth paying a small fee to get bigger benefits and travel tips out of your package.

7. If you are in the military, then make sure you ask for the military discount.

8. Give Ebay a try. You might be able to find a cruise that someone booked but can't take it. Travel agents will also post special deals there. Try posting the trip you would like in the "Want it now" section.

9. Get a Disney Visa card. If you are saving up for your vacation anyway then you might as well earn some Disney Reward Dollars in that time to apply towards your trip.

10. Don't plan you vacation around your child's school. Everyone does this so when the school breaks happen the ships fill up. Get you kids out of school for a week. The experience they have will become a memory not forgotten.
