If you think you just book a cruise then you can start making all your plans and booking your Disney excursions and dining plans, character meets, spa reservations, etc. well you couldn't be more wrong. UNLESS you are one of those last minute cruisers, then you may be in luck, sort of. It is possible the things you want were already booked by seasoned Disney Cruisers that belong to "The Club". Which Club is that, you ask?? The Castaway Club, of course.
See, there is a pecking order. The more times you have sailed on a Disney Cruise, the earlier the booking window opens to you. There are other perks too, but I will focus on bookings and check-ins here.
See the photos below to see how the levels are divided and when you can start booking depending upon which level you occupy.

To see what level you are on or for more info. visit Castaway Club. I could spend this BLOG discussing the entire process, but since my good friends over at TouringPlans.com did such an excellent job, I suggest a visit to their website. A few things have changed since that blog, mainly the actual Disney Cruise Line page looks different. Your options to be able to actually book do not show up for you until your 'window' is open. Don't worry though, Disney has your important dates on your reservations which can be found when you log into the Disney Cruise Line website AND, as your agent, I will always remind you of important upcoming dates.
I also want to remind you of another Castaway Club perk that I brought up in a past BLOG. Remember to REBOOK your next Disney Cruise while on your current Disney Cruise, either by selecting the exact cruise you want, and getting 10% off the downpayment, OR selecting a PLACEHOLDER cruise with $250.00 down for an undetermined cruise you will have 24 months to choose. Full refund if canceled within that time.
Ok, Next BLOG will discuss what we have decided to pre-book for our 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise.
