One of the most frequent complaints that we hear from families (including our own) is that Disney Cruise Line is just too expensive as compared to other cruise lines.  Although there is good reason for Disney to command a higher price, there are plenty of opportunities throughout the year to take advantage of Disney’s Special Offers.

Right now, Disney Cruise Line is offering a promotion that allows kids (17 and under) to sail for free on the Disney Wonder’s Mexican Riviera sailings from January 23 through March 20, 2011.  This is a huge savings!  This promotion is capacity controlled and many of the sailings and categories have already sold out of this promotion, so act fast!

Disney Cruise Line is also extending its European Summer Sale to select 10 and 11-night sailings in August and September.  You can sail the Disney Magic from just $999 per person for a Category 12 Inside Guarantee.  Third and fourth rates are a bit high, but you can still reserve a family of four for under $3600.

Last but not least, Disney Cruise Line is offering special discounts for active and retired military personnel (including DOD employees) throughout the summer.  European sailings can be reserved for as little as $699 per person, while Disney is offering 25% off of its July 11th 5-night Bahamas sailing.  These deals change every week, so be sure to check back often.

These special deals may be booked through Disney Cruise Line or your local travel agent.  You might want to shop around as agents will offer up to 10% onboard credit for each booking.  Bon Voyage!

We thought there would be no better way to launch back into our Wednesday Deal Day recap than focusing on Disney Cruise Line, the winner of our Most Family Friendly Cruise Line Award!  Finding deals on Disney can be a bit challenging.  The general rule of thumb is that the farther in advance that you reserve, the lower your price.  Of course, that isn’t 100% true as they do run onboard credit promotions from time to time and if you are a Florida resident, you can take advantage of their last minute resident specials.  Military?  They have some great discounts for you too!

So. we’ve waded through the possibilities to come up with some of the best Disney Cruise Line deals for families in the coming 18 months.  Pricing is based upon 2 adults and 2 children (one under 2 ) in the same cabin, including all taxes and fees.

To book any of these sailings, contact your local travel agent or visit Disney online.  Remember to ask about past passenger, senior, military or resident discounts or bonuses for these sailings to get an even better deal!  Bon Voyage!
