Travel Along with Us!

Hi there! We are Caitlin, Julia, Molly, and Elise. A little family of four who love traveling the world. We love all kinds of travel, from tourist traps to hidden gems, from Disney World to untouched wilderness, we want to see it all, do it all, and share it all! We’ve always loved traveling and didn’t want that to stop when our children were born. We’ve been traveling with them since they were babies, and we’ve realized that traveling with kids doesn’t have to be challenging or expensive. We’ve prioritized traveling as a family and showing our kids the world around them. We will show you what we’ve done, how we do it, and how you can do it too!

My top tips for saving money on a Disney Cruise: W My top tips for saving money on a Disney Cruise: We love Disney Cruise Line, and we also love finding the best deals whenever we travel. Discounts on Disney Cruises are rare, but there are still some ways to get a better deal on your cruise. Here are our tips:
 
πŸ”… Book off-peak if you can. I know it isn't always possible, but this is a great way to get a better price on the same itinerary.
 
πŸ”… Last minute bookings. We frequently book our cruises only a month or so out from the sail date. If you're willing to be flexible you can get some great last-minute prices, particularly by booking using this next tip! ⬇️

πŸ”… Book GTY or restricted rates (IGT, OGT, and VGT) if they are available. It's true you can't choose your stateroom room (only the category) or book too far in advance on a restricted rate, but if you're willing to be flexible you can often score a great deal. 

πŸ”… Longer cruises will always have a better per-day rate compared to shorter cruises. If you're looking for the best value for your fare, look for a 7-night cruise or longer.

πŸ”… Repositioning cruises are less popular (because of the logistical issues they can pose) so often the prices on those are lower. They're usually some of the more unique itineraries too, making the inconvenience worth it, in our opinion.

πŸ”… Book on-board. On each cruise you take, you can get a 10% discount on a future cruise if you book a "placeholder" on-board using the DCL app. When you're back on land, you can pick a cruise itinerary to replace your placeholder and apply your 10% off to that fare. You can even transfer these placeholders to your travel agent after the fact, so you can get the discount plus all the benefits of working with a travel agent.

πŸ”… Sometimes there are discounts for special groups. If you are a Florida resident, Canada resident, military member, or cast member there are sometimes extra discounts available for you that others can't access.

On double-dip cruises (two stops at Castaway Cay) you can get two-day float rentals, and you can swap them out throughout the day for tubes or this lounger style!

This isn't strictly a Disney Cruising account, but This isn't strictly a Disney Cruising account, but sometimes it feels like it with all the Disney Cruises we've been taking lately! A combination of good deals, easy logistics, and low exertion (for a family member still recovering from back surgery) has made this a very doable vacation for us right now. For example, we were supposed to be in England this week but decided the flight was still just too long to spend sitting at this point, plus the testing logistics were making it more complicated than we wanted. We'll be getting back out there later this summer but for now I'm happy to keep riding around the Caribbean on a Disney Cruise.❀️
