Disney Cruise Line News and Special Offers — December 24, 2019

Sponsored by Storybook Destinations

Ahoy, mateys! I’m Heather, and I’ll be bringing you the up and coming on all things Disney Cruise Line. Welcome back again this week. Let’s see what’s new in the DCL world!

Disney Cruise Line: In The News

Captains Mickey and Minnie, along with the help from many generous crew members, brought cheer to children in need in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Germany, in the form of gifts, smiles, and lots of love!

The popular 50% off required deposit promotion is back! Now through February 14, 2020, you will pay only half the standard deposit on an eligible cruise 4-nights or longer from June 20, 2020 and May 31, 2021. Remember that you will eventually pay the other 50% of the normal deposit, at the time the balance is due. But it sure is nice to have that reduced deposit right after the holidays, when you may really, really be feeling the need for an escape! There are some restrictions, so make sure to contact your travel agent or DCL to get the ins and outs for booking.

The following films are being shown aboard the Disney Cruise Line ships this month:

• Captain Marvel
• Dumbo 
• Disneynature: Penguins
• Avengers: Endgame
• Aladdin 
• Toy Story 4 
• Lion King
• The Nightmare Before Christmas
• Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 
• Frozen 2
• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

For future reference, films debut on Disney Cruise Line the same day of their initial release in the United States. Films do vary by ship. Show times are available in your Personal Navigator or the official Disney Cruise Line app.

Weekly Specials

Here’s this week’s special offers. Most every week of the year, Disney Cruise Line releases special offers for Florida Residents and U.S. Military Personnel.  There are also frequently IGT/OGT/VGT rates available for all guests to book.  These offers are extremely limited in availability, and all come with certain restrictions, but the prices are amazing! You can book these online, on the phone, or with your travel agent. These are the current offers available this week:
