Are there any current restaurant discounts for employees? I noticed that the link on here said that the discounts were valid only until October. Also, do all of these discounts apply to ESPN employees. Lastly, what discounts have a blackout dates around Christmas?

Thank you so much for your help!

Was there a response on this? I was wondering the same thing.

May 10, 2018 at 1:55 pm

I see a tonnnn of spam comments lol. So I use to be a CM but now I’m currently a 3rd party discount info(green ID)? I know of a few already because I work at Disney springs but maybe you would know more? Would be great to explore! I love you blog in general so much information!

August 19, 2018 at 7:24 pm

Idk if this page is still active or not, but you actually don’t always get free admission to Jellyrolls. That’s only on Sundays, every other night it’s 50% off

August 22, 2018 at 2:33 pm

cast members do not get up to 50% on disney weddings. this is incorrect information.

Tracy Smith

November 02, 2018 at 4:25 am

You forgot to mention that Cast Members get 40% off during the holidays. Also, can you not delete all of the garbage comments left by brainless morons?

Hey Disney cast Thanks 🙂

November 30, 2018 at 1:17 pm

The information about the discount on CiCis needs to be updated because the discount is now $4.99 instead of $2.99

March 02, 2019 at 6:45 pm

I Just found on today that CiCi’s Pizza are no longer accepting both Resident and Disney Cast Members. The change want in effect yesterday and not sure if other places are doing this, but I get the feel that being close too certain other upcoming changes I believe that CiCi’s Pizza may not be only one.

March 12, 2019 at 12:12 pm

Free lockers are no longer offered to CMs. At some point Disney rented out their locker space to another company so they’re no longer owned by Disney and not eligible for a discount.

Tiana Holzinger

March 12, 2019 at 2:58 pm

So if I work at Disneyland in Anaheim, Ca do I still get all of these discounts if I take a vacation to Orlando?

As long as you have your Cast Member ID you will 🙂

Are there any discounts for senior citizens?

Tracy Thompson

This is Disney we are talking about…they couldn’t care less about senior citizens just as long as they bring their wallets with them!

I’m a retired cast member. Can I get in at Blizzard beach at a discount or am I still free?

June 16, 2019 at 11:58 am

Free admission to water parks is no longer permitted. Only discounted tickets are available.

Mayra Cordero

September 22, 2022 at 12:29 pm

Yes, you enter for free until Dec 31, 2022 and your complimentary tickets pay half price, don’t have to make reservation, just arrive early because if it fills up they won’t let you in. Check block out days…

May 28, 2019 at 1:17 pm

Retired Cast Members don’t have Hub access.

If a booking for a resort stay is made but the cast member leaves the company before the date of the reservation, will WDW still honor the discount for family?

November 13, 2023 at 3:22 pm

I believe that as long as the Cast Member sends in their required email to the hotel with their ID number (and other required info for the friends and family stay) before they leave the company, they should be okay. I don’t know for sure so don’t hold me to it, but I would still double check with the cast member to see what they find out

Cast Member Discounts for Disney Employees 2024

Disney Company Employees, formerly known as Cast Members, are the people that make the magic at Disney World and Disneyland possible. To show appreciation for their hard work, Disney offers a large variety of Disney cast member discounts that can be used for merchandise, dining, park stays, plus other benefits.

Get exclusive access to prices on hotel & tickets just for Mickey Visit subscribers. Don't miss our travel hacks newsletter!

In this planning guide:

Disney Cast Member Discounts

I think at one point many Disney lovers dream of being a Disney employee, whether that is working as a friend of a character, helping hotel guests at the resorts, or working in merchandising, it seems like being a Cast Member is a dream come true. While only a few people actually achieve this dream, there are many perks to being employed by the Walt Disney Company.

Like many jobs, working as a Walt Disney Employee, also known as Cast Member, comes with its share of benefits. Benefits listed on Disney’s Career Website include:

  • Paid Time Off
  • Health Insurance
  • Retirement Programs
  • Tuition Assistance
  • Wellness Programs
  • Childcare Support
  • Career Development
  • Theme Park Experiences
  • Exclusive Discounts
  • Community Involvement
  • Commuter Assistance

With so many benefits, it is easy to see why there are so many people aching to get a job working for the Walt Disney Company. While many of the benefits are standard for many full-time jobs across the United States, like health insurance and retirement programs, we think what sets Disney apart is the Experiences and Discounts Cast Members receive.

Disney provides exclusive discounts at select hotels, dining, merchandise, and recreation locations. They also provide complimentary theme park admission for full-time and part-time positions after two weeks of employment.

Below are lists of the specific locations and discount amounts that Cast Members have available when working for the Walt Disney Company.

  • Discount Walt Disney World Tickets

Our favorite Disney-approved re-seller,  Get Away Today, offers the best Walt Disney World discount tickets around. In addition to great discount prices, their customer service and easy support is absolutely fantastic. They have an entire department dedicated to making sure every order has a wonderful experience and they are on-call to help you during your vacation if you need them.

And at no additional charge, you get FREE concierge Walt Disney World services! These services include having Get Away Today's Walt Disney World expert Brooklyn take care of all your dining reservations, free price monitoring, and more! This really takes all the stress out of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Rather than waking up at odd hours of the night to book all your reservations, why not let their travel agents take care of it for you- for free!

Find discount Walt Disney World tickets here!

Buying tickets from Get Away Today is easy and convenient since all their tickets are sent electronically. You can take their vouchers and head straight to the gate without needing to wait in any ticket booth lines. They also offer layaway plans so you can pay off your vacation over time.

Cast Member Discount Merchandise

While Cast Members are working at the theme parks, resorts, Downtown Disney or Disney Springs , you have to imagine there is a piece of merchandise they will see brought in they just can’t wait to have. Luckily, Disney provides a small discount at the majority of the shopping locations throughout Disney Property.

The merchandise discount you get as a Cast Member depends entirely on your years of service. If you’ve got a Blue Pass (less than 15 years of service), you get 20% off. If you earn the Silver Pass (over 15 years of service), it shifts up to 35% off.

These percentages can be used at Disney-owned/operated stores

  • All Magic Kingdom shops (only 10% at Sunglasses shop)
  • All stores at EPCOT (discount varies by store, but a majority follow the 20% cast discount)
  • All stores at Animal Kingdom
  • All stores in Hollywood Studios
  • ShopDisney app or website

Shops and kiosks at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney offer discounts ranging from 10%-35% off.

Cast Members also have access to the Cast Connections store. This store is ONLY for Cast Members, so if you don’t work for Disney, you won’t be able to purchase merchandise from here. The merchandise at Cast Connection at Walt Disney World includes out-of-season or discontinued new merchandise, holiday merchandise, slightly damaged merchandise from the Parks (wrinkled/stained clothing), and some groceries. Merchandise can be seen for up to 70% off retail price.

Company D is a cast member-exclusive store that sells cast member-exclusive merchandise and discounted tickets (10% off day tickets, multi-day tickets, and annual passes) as well as tickets to local sporting teams.

Cast Member Dining Discounts

When Cast Members go to the theme parks either by themselves or with their friends and family, they will have to eat! Disney offers 10-20% discounts throughout most of the year on many dining locations on Disney Property. This includes the parks, resorts, and at Disney Springs.

Last year, the following restaurants were included in the discounts:

  • Disney’s All-Star Resort – Intermission Food Court and World Premier Food Court
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Boma, Jiko, The Mara, Sanaa
  • Disney’s Art of Animation – Landscape of Flavors
  • Disney’s Boardwalk – Boardwalk Bakery, Boardwalk Pizza Window, Trattoria al Forno
  • Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort – Centertown Market and Sebastian’s Bistro
  • Disney’s Contemporary Resort – Chef Mickey’s, Contempo Café, Steakhouse 71
  • Disney’s Coronado Resort – Barcelona Lounge, Three Bridges Bar and Grill, Toledo
  • Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – Crockett’s Tavern, P&J’s Southern Takeout, Trail’s End
  • Disney’s Grand Floridian – 1900 Park Fare, Citricos, Grand Floridian Café, Gasparilla Island Grill
  • Disney’s Old Key West Resort – Good’s Food to Go, Olivia’s Café
  • Disney’s Polynesian Resort – Captain Cook’s, Kona Café, Ohana
  • Pop Century – Everything POP Shopping and Dining
  • Port Orleans Resort – Boatwright's Dining Hall, River Roost Lounge, Riverside Mill Food Court, Sassagoula Flatworms and
  • Food Factory, Scat Cat’s Club Café
  • Saratoga Springs – The Artist’s Palette, The Turf Club Bar and Grill
  • Disney’s Vero Beach Resort – Wind and Waves Market, Wind and Waves Grill
  • Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club – Ale and Compass, Beach Club Marketplace, Cape May Café, The Market at Ale and
  • Compass, Martha’s Vineyard, Yachtsman Steakhouse
  • Magic Kingdom – The Crystal Palace, Jungle Skipper Canteen, Liberty Tree Tavern, Plaza Restaurant, Tony’s Town Square
  • EPCOT – Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Biergarten Restaurant, Coral Reef Restaurant, The Garden Grill, Le Cellier Steakhouse, Rose and Crown
  • Hollywood Studios – Hollywood and Vine, 50s Prime Time Café, The Hollywood Brown Derby, Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano
  • Animal Kingdom – Flame Tree Barbecue, Harambe Market, Nomad Lounge, Restaurantosaurus, Tusker House, Tiffins

During certain times of the year, Disney will offer a steeper discount at the quick service locations or during slower times of the year table service locations. Disney will provide Cast Members with the information when new discounts are available.

As an example, from May 8 – September 30, 2023, Cast Members are able to enjoy a 40% dining discount at these six table-service restaurants during “select meal periods.”

  • Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort: Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood
  • Disney’s Old Key West Resort: Olivia’s Café
  • Disney’s Port Orleans Resort: Boatwright’s Dining Hall
  • Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa: The Turf Club Bar and Grill
  • Disney’s Wilderness Lodge: Whispering Canyon Café
  • Disney’s Yacht Club Resort: Ale & Compass Restaurant

The downside for Cast Members is these dining locations and discounts are subject to blackout dates and meal times, so it never hurts to ask when you go to the restaurant to eat if there are any Cast Member discounts available.

Cast Member Hotel Discounts

Even though most Cast Members are going to live around the Walt Disney property, there are still times when it makes sense to stay at a Disney World hotel . For instance, if a Cast Member works at Disneyland but visits Walt Disney World, they would be able to use the discounts on the rooms.

When the Cast Member is staying in the room booked, they can receive up to 50% off their stay at different resorts and room types. During peak seasons, it may be difficult to book the exact room you want, but there are still typically discounts available.

If a Cast Member has friends or family coming to stay on-site but is not planning on staying at the resort with them, Cast Members can still get up to 40% for their friends and family.

Cast Members can also receive up to 50% off at Aulani in Hawaii.

Cast Member Theme Park Tickets

After two weeks of employment, Cast Members receive complimentary park tickets to use on their days off.

When a Cast Member has worked for Disney for at least 90 days, they will get a Main Gate Pass. This pass allows Cast Members three guests at a time using their Main Gate Pass, but the amount of times you can use this pass in a year varies.

Disney Employees who have worked at Disney less than 15 years will receive a Blue Main Gate Pass and can use the pass 16 times a year. If a Cast Member has over 15 years, they receive a Silver Main Gate Pass. With this pass, there is no limit on how many times you can get friends and family into the park.

There are block-out dates with the Main Gate Passes, and you do need a reservation to use them. It is important to check the block-out dates (days you can’t use your pass) before making any plans.

If you want to take family or friends with you, and don’t have the Main Gate Pass or have used the allotted amount, the following discounts are available.

Cast Members can get discounted park tickets for your guests from any Company D location. This is a perfect option for anyone who doesn’t have (or want to use) any guest passes.

  • 10% off any Disney World tickets from Company D (merchandise location mentioned above)
  • Discounted tickets for SeaWorld and Busch Gardens only at Company D

Disney World Water Parks

Florida Cast Members get admission to both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach during non-peak seasons and 50% off additional tickets for up to 3 guests.

During Peak Seasons, Cast Members may enter after 2 PM or buy discounted tickets for the entire day.

Halloween and Christmas

As a Cast Member, discounted tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Walt Disney World are also available.

During the Christmas Season, Disney gives their Employees Holiday books with different discounts and free items. These are some of the best deals Disney Cast Members receive throughout the year!

Disney World Tours and Recreation

At Walt Disney World, guests are able to pay for special tours and other recreational activities. As a Cast Member, you can book these items at significantly discounted rates.

Animal Kingdom

  • Wild Africa Trek: 50% off tickets for cast members after 11:30 am (regular price is $199). Must be booked in advance.

Cast Members can get 15% off the non-discounted price of select 50 minutes or longer spa or salon service for you and up to the number of persons in your package. Hand and foot treatments are excluded and some age restrictions apply.

Here’s where the Disney cast member spa discount applies:

  • Senses – A Disney Spa at the Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
  • Senses – A Disney Spa at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
  • The Ivy Trellis (Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort)
  • La Vida Health Club ( Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort)

Disney Cruise Line

Disney’s Sail Away Program allows Cast Members to buy unsold rooms 2-8 weeks before sail dates for last-minute rates!

Adventures by Disney

Cast Members and their friends and family get discounts for almost all tours by Adventures by Disney. Block-out dates do apply. Check the Hub for more details as the discounts will vary greatly by the planned adventure.

Other Cast Member Discounts

There are many other discounts and free items both on and off property that Cast Members can receive.

  • Free Lockers at the Disney Theme Parks.
  • Complimentary strollers and wheelchairs at Disney Theme Parks.
  • Disney employees get Disney Plus bundled with ESPN and Hulu for free.
  • Free entry to Howl at the Moon
  • Best Friends Pet Care – 20% off boarding, 10% off grooming

  • Ricoh Business Centers – 25% off merchandise and business center

  • Discounts on Orlando hotels including the Holiday Inn, Four Seasons, Hilton, and Margaritaville.
  • Wyland Galleries of Florida – 10-15% off jewelry and 20-35% off fine art

As a Cast Member, there are so many discounts that you can receive. Unfortunately, many of the discounts are dependent upon block-out dates, days when you are unable to book or utilize the services. It is also important to note that Disney can change the availability and amount of each of these discounts at any time.

We still think these discounts are a great way to save money as an employee who enjoys participating in the magic on your days off. What is your favorite Cast Member Discount to use? Are there any Cast Member discounts that we missed?

Disney Cruise discounts can be hard to find, but this is the place to find them! Listed below is every known deal, offer, coupon, onboard credit or discount available for Disney Cruise Line (DCL), plus lots of FREE information about how to save money on a Disney cruise!

Group Incentives

Costco rebates, travelocity deals on disney cruises, expedia deals on disney cruises, other useful disney cruise line information pages:.

  • For tips and tricks that will help you plan your cruise , visit the Planning Tips & Tricks for Disney Cruises page .
  • For advice that will help you save time and get the most out of your cruise once you are onboard , visit the DCL Onboard Advice page .
  • For advice that will help you with excursions, tours and activities while in port, visit the Tips & Discounts for Port Excursions page .

In our opinion,  you should always book a Disney cruise with a third-party travel agency or site that provides a bonus or discount . The extra onboard credit or discount is effectively FREE money. The primary question is whether you prefer to handle your bookings directly ( self-service ), or work with a personal agent ( full-service ). They’re both good options and they both offer essentially similar savings: one via their own extra-discounted fares and the other via FREE onboard credit. 

Booking a Disney Cruise With a Self-Service Site

Our pick for self-service booking is Undercover Tourist . We’ve recommended them for more than a decade as a fantastic source for tickets, but they also have impressive deals on Disney cruises. Unlike other self-booking options like Expedia or Priceline, Undercover Tourist adds an additional discount over and above any special pricing Disney offers (like restricted guarantee , Military , or Florida resident rates)! We know of no other site that adds their own discounts to the baseline fare for Disney cruises. Occasionally one of the big online travel sites will do a limited-time small onboard credit or in-room gift, but Undercover Tourist offers extra discounts , on every Disney cruise, every day. Undercover Tourist further guarantees to MouseSavers readers that you will always get their lowest possible prices when booking through our links here and through our monthly newsletter and Hot Deals emails.

Keep in mind that this is a self-service option , for people who know exactly what cruise they want to take, what stateroom, how dining works, etc. If you like to handle your own bookings directly, Undercover Tourist is a great choice. If you would like to have a personal agent who can help guide you through the decision process and be available to answer questions, then the full-service approach will be a better fit.

  • Check out Undercover Tourist’s discounted cruise rates for Disney Cruise Lines ! Undercover Tourist guarantees MouseSavers readers get their lowest rates!

Booking a Disney Cruise With a Full-Service Agent

The benefits of using a top travel agent are significant, both in convenience and price. First off, the best travel agents give you onboard credit, which is effectively FREE money, since the cruise fare isn’t any higher than if you booked through Disney. Furthermore, Disney Cruise Line has lots of confusing options involving tradeoffs that aren’t always clear. Using an experienced travel agent is like getting a FREE expert who knows everything about the Disney Cruise Line and is happy to walk you through the process and offer advice.

The travel agency we personally recommend here on MouseSavers.com, Small World Vacations , has some of the most experienced agents in the industry . The agents who handle cruise bookings for Small World have been on multiple Disney cruises, and know a truly astonishing amount about all four ships, the various Disney ports of call and all the common itineraries (and many uncommon ones). Many of them are Platinum members of Disney’s Castaway Club, meaning that they have personally been on 10 or more Disney cruises! They each have a direct phone number and email address they give out to their clients, so you can email them questions or requests any time.

Small World Vacations offers an onboard credit of up to $1,000 when you book a Disney Cruise with them. (Credit depends on your total cruise fare; the minimum fare to get credit is $1000.) Your onboard credit is good toward anything you can charge to your room, such as spa treatments, special dining, shore excursions or even your bar tab! Plus, this onboard credit offer is on top of any other discounts for which you may qualify (like restricted guarantee , Military , or Florida resident rates). And perhaps most importantly, the Small World Vacations agents know how to maximize value by making use of tricks like secret porthole rooms , secret verandah rooms , secret connecting rooms , and other clever strategies.

We pretty rarely encounter a deal that qualifies as a “no brainer,” but this is absolutely one, because it’s effectively FREE money . Small World Vacations’ fares are exactly the same as Disney’s; there are no other hidden markups or extra fees. The onboard credit is a bonus you won’t get booking with Disney.

Finally, if you’re going on a Disney cruise, be sure you take advantage of the onboard booking discount and list Small World Vacations as your preferred travel agent (or transfer the booking to Small World Vacations after your cruise is over), because it’s an essentially risk-free way to get significant discounts from Disney plus onboard credit from Small World Vacations in one fell swoop on a future cruise.

If you have any questions about onboard booking, email your questions directly to Small World Vacations at [email protected] before you leave on your cruise, and mention that you heard about onboard booking on MouseSavers.com. In our experience, the travel agents at Small World Vacations are great at finding the best fares. They know all the tricks that will save you money, and they know the Disney Cruise Line inside and out. We’re confident that once you work with a really great travel agent, you’ll never want to book a cruise any other way.

  • Learn more about the Small World Vacations onboard credit offer and request a price quote for your Disney cruise .
  • Small World Vacations gives you full service , including a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number, and we recommend them wholeheartedly ! Best of all, it costs you nothing to use them, PLUS they give you FREE onboard credit for any Disney Cruise Line booking of over $1000 total fare!

Onboard credit is cash value linked to your stateroom account on the ship, which you can spend by using your room key to pay for pretty much anything on the ship or on Castaway Cay. Onboard credit can be used for merchandise, adult beverages, bottled water, spa treatments, shore excursions, Palo, Remy, Palo Steakhouse or Enchanté meals, and other onboard activities, or even applied to gratuities for your servers and stateroom attendant.

Small World Vacations Onboard Credit

The travel agency we personally recommend here on MouseSavers.com, Small World Vacations , offers an onboard credit of $50 – $1000 when you book through them. (Credit depends on your total cruise fare; the minimum fare to get credit is $1000.) To learn more, visit the Small World Vacations website , where you can see full details about the onboard credit offer and request a quote on your cruise vacation .

Last-Minute Restricted Stateroom Discounts

Restricted Guarantee fares, when offered, are a great way to save if you are flexible about your stateroom location and willing to book “last minute,” usually meaning 21-75 days prior to departure. The savings can be very large, but you won’t know your exact stateroom at booking time. Disney guarantees you will get at least the stateroom type specified, and you could get assigned a higher level. You usually will get an actual stateroom assignment about 14 days before embarkation, but it could be assigned as late as the embarkation day.

There are complicated rules for Restricted Guarantee bookings ; be sure to read them if you’re not already familiar with them. The “Restricted Guarantee” room categories are offered on select sailings. The categories are:

  • Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions (category IGT) – Guarantees an inside or better stateroom (minimum category 11C)
  • Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom with Restrictions (category OGT) – Guarantees an oceanview or better stateroom (minimum category 9D)
  • Guaranteed Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions (category VGT) – Guarantees a verandah or better stateroom (minimum category 7A)

New! As of April 8, 2024, the following cruises had availability in the Restricted Guarantee categories . Prices given are lowest available fares for a single stateroom, in US dollars, including taxes, fees and port expenses, rounded to the nearest dollar. All sailings are from Port Canaveral unless noted otherwise.

General Notes:

  • A single guest gets charged essentially the same price as two guests. (Cruises are generally priced for a minimum of two guests per cabin.)
  • 5-passenger rooms are not available with this discount .
  • These discounts come and go as room inventory for a cruise changes. If you check for one and it doesn’t come up, it may come back. It’s worth checking back a few times over the next day or two to see if the discount becomes available again.
  • If a price isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean the category is completely sold out , just that it isn’t available with this discount.

Select number of guests to see total sailing price (for one stateroom):

  • If you are interested in booking one of these special restricted last-minute rates , we recommend either Small World Vacations or Undercover Tourist . We have worked with both companies for over 15 years and can recommend them wholeheartedly. It’s really a question of whether you prefer full-service booking or self booking. These staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.
  • Small World Vacations is a full service agency, offering a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number. It costs you nothing to use them, PLUS their FREE onboard credit offer applies to these special fares (the total cruise fare for the stateroom must be at least $1000 to get their onboard credit). 
  • Undercover Tourist is a self-service booking site similar to Expedia or Priceline, but with years of focus on the Disney travel market. They offer the special rates mentioned above PLUS they add their own discounts. 

Important details you need to know about Restricted Guarantee fares:

  • Can be combined with the Small World Vacations onboard credit offer as well as Undercover Tourist’s own bonus discounts.
  • Cannot be combined with any other Disney discount or promotional offers.
  • The specific stateroom is assigned by Disney, generally within a week of cruise departure. You cannot select a stateroom number or make special requests as to stateroom location.
  • If you book two or more Restricted Guarantee staterooms, there is no way to ensure that they are near each other, or even on the same deck. Disney will put the rooms as close together as they can, but sometimes they just don’t have any rooms left that are near each other.
  • Applies to new bookings only. Existing reservations cannot be modified to these new categories.
  • Full payment is due at time of booking. Booking holds are not permitted.
  • Reservation is non-refundable . (This only applies to situations where you cancel the cruise. If Disney cancels the cruise, for example because of pandemic restrictions, you will get a refund.)
  • Reservation and applied payment are non-transferable .
  • Full legal names and birthdates for all stateroom occupants are required at time of booking.
  • Name changes after booking are not allowed .
  • Sail date, stateroom category and cruise itinerary changes are not allowed .
  • You can book a maximum of four people per stateroom on a Restricted Guarantee booking.
  • There is typically more availability for three or fewer guests per room. All Disney Cruise staterooms can hold three guests, but only some can hold four.
  • If you’re looking for these cruise fares on Disney’s web site, look for fares labeled “Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions” or similar for Oceanview or Verandah. The key words are “…with restrictions.”

The one major change that you can make after booking: additional guests can be added to a stateroom, subject to space restrictions. Restrictions and booking rules are subject to change.

If you are going on a Disney cruise and think there is any chance you or a friend or relative may want to go on another Disney cruise in the next 24 months, be sure to book a future cruise while you are still onboard the ship . Disney has one of the most generous onboard booking programs in the cruise industry, and it’s a great way to get a discount and lower deposit on a future Disney cruise. When you book a future cruise while still onboard the ship you get all of the following benefits:

  • A 10% discount on the final cruise fare (with some blackout dates ; see below). Does not apply to Concierge bookings.
  • A lower deposit requirement of only 10% on 7+ night cruises (regular deposit requirement is 20%). Does not apply to Concierge bookings.
  • If you booked your current cruise with Small World Vacations and also use them as your agent for the future cruise , you’ll also get half their normal onboard credit . (Note that if you didn’t book your current cruise with Small World Vacations, the onboard booking agents may not let you add Small World as your agent while onboard. In that case, you would have to transfer your booking to Small World after you get home, but you would still be eligible for half their normal credit.)

You can book either a specific cruise or a “placeholder” cruise. A placeholder lets you make a booking without picking a specific cruise. It can be associated with a specific cruise later, after you get home and decide. To book a specific cruise onboard, you put down a deposit of 10% or 20% of the whole fare, depending on the length of the cruise. To book a placeholder, you put down a flat $250 deposit per future stateroom. When you change a placeholder to a specific cruise booking you’ll have to pay any increase in deposit. Keep in mind, there is an advantage to booking a specific cruise as early as possible: you lock in the rate. So, if there is a cruise you might want to take, it’s a good idea to book that specific cruise rather than a placeholder. Even if you’re not 100% sure that’s your perfect cruise, remember you can change it later with no penalty.

If you ultimately decide not to take a cruise, Disney will refund 100% of your deposit or placeholder payment . You always get a 100% refund as long as you haven’t passed the penalty date (120-75 days from sailing, depending on the cruise), and you didn’t book a concierge room or suite. There’s basically no risk, though it does tie up some deposit money while you think about your options.

You can change almost every aspect of your booking as many times as you need to and still keep the benefits . The name of one adult in each stateroom must stay the same, but you can change the names of any of the other guests, or increase or reduce the number of guests. You can change the stateroom category. You can change the ship or the sailing as long as the sail date is within 24 months of the initial booking date. If you end up changing to a more expensive booking, you’ll need to make up the difference between your original deposit and the new deposit. Keep in mind that if you later add a guest to a stateroom, they will get added at current rates, not at your initial booking rates. For the lowest final price and most flexibility, it’s a good idea to make the initial booking with everyone who might go, rather than only the people you know are going to go.

You get the full discount for up to two future staterooms or placeholders per household (i.e. per mailing address). Once you leave the ship, you can’t book more , so we recommend booking two (or more) every time, if you can afford to tie up the deposit money. If you later decide that you want to bring another family along, or put the kids in their own stateroom, you’ll be glad to have two rooms booked with the discount.

You can get the full discount for friends or relatives who are not sailing on your cruise. You’ll need your friends’ full legal names (as written on their passport) and their birth dates. Under the current rules, the first stateroom or placeholder you book with this discount on the future cruise needs to include at least one adult who is on the current cruise, in addition to anyone else you want to add, and then the second stateroom can have anyone in it. For example, say you wanted to book a cruise for your friends, the Smith family. You could book one room for your own family, then book the second room (on the same cruise) for the Smith family.

If you already have a future cruise booked, you can usually “re-shop” your existing booking and get the discount. However, you basically have to make a new booking and cancel the old one, and the price might have gone up since you booked originally, potentially wiping out your discount. Be sure to compare the bottom-line price for both bookings.

A few other terms & conditions:

  • There is no discount or lower deposit for 1- or 2-night sailings, IGT, OGT and VGT Restricted Guarantee bookings, or concierge staterooms and suites.
  • You can get the 10% discount and reduced deposit on a maximum of two staterooms per household.
  • Onboard booking incentives CANNOT be combined with any group discounts organized by a travel agency.
  • Disney could change these rules and benefits at any time. Check onboard for the latest terms.

Onboard Discount Blackout Dates:

Please note: there is no 10% discount when you book the following holiday and peak dates onboard (but you do get the smaller deposit):

  • Disney Dream : 3/31, 11/23, 11/27, 12/21, 12/26, 12/30
  • Disney Fantasy : 3/23, 3/30, 6/8, 11/23, 12/22, 12/26, 12/29
  • Disney Magic : 6/6, 11/25, 12/29
  • Disney Wish : 3/25, 3/29, 4/1, 11/25, 12/23, 12/27, 12/30
  • Disney Wonder : ( none announced yet )
  • The full legal names of everyone who is going to go on the future cruise, as listed on their passport or birth certificate
  • The number of rooms you want to book and what type ( inside, outside, verandah or placeholder )
  • Who’s in each room ( keeping in mind the maximum passengers for each room type )
  • Specific cruises you’re interested in, if you plan to book a cruise and not a placeholder ( or just rough notes with your needs/restrictions like dates or region )
  • Birth dates for everyone ( optional, but makes everything go smoother )
  • Bring the info with you on the cruise. If you just want to book a basic placeholder, you can do that while on the cruise with the Disney Navigator App on your phone (if you don’t already have it, just search for “Disney Navigator” in the Apple or Google app stores; you can download it before the cruise leaves to save time). If you want to do anything more complicated you’ll need to talk to a consultant at the future cruise desk.
  • If you can’t or don’t want to use the the Navigator app, at some point early in the cruise, go to the Future Bookings Desk on deck 4 and either fill out a form, or just put your room number and name on the sheet you brought (if it has all the details on it they’ll need) and drop it in the box. You can also wait for a consultant if they’re there, or check the schedule and come back when they’re scheduled to be there. If you drop off a form, they’ll secure a hold on a reservation and leave a printout by your stateroom door. If the reservation looks good, either go back to the desk to finish the booking or call 7-2848 from your stateroom phone. Either way, when the booking is done ask for a printed confirmation of your final reservation.
  • Before you leave the ship, confirm that everything is correct . You should have a printed confirmation or an emailed confirmation. The confirmation should show that your deposit is paid (if not, the booking will be canceled). If this isn’t on your confirmation, go to the Future Bookings Desk or Guest Services and make sure everything is correct. If you are working with a travel agent, verbally confirm that they are listed on the reservation before you leave the ship.
  • That’s it! If you booked a “placeholder” cruise, you can start the process of finding your actual cruise. If you are using a travel agent , email them to let them know you booked onboard. Once you’ve settled on the cruise you really want to take, change the booking as soon as you can to the actual sailing date to lock in the lowest possible fares and get the best choice of staterooms.

Disney Cruise Discounts for Florida Residents

As of April 8, 2024, the following cruises had availability in the Florida Resident category . Prices given are lowest available fares for a single stateroom, in US dollars, including taxes, fees and port expenses, rounded to the nearest dollar. All sailings are from Port Canaveral unless noted otherwise. The room category available at that fare is in parentheses.

  • 5-passenger rooms are rarely discounted for Florida residents , but they do show up occasionally.

Other stateroom categories may be available at other rates. Rates are per adult, based on double occupancy. Occupancy restrictions may apply. Excursions are not included. See Disney Cruise Line brochure for details and applicable terms and conditions. Other discounts do not apply. Only one discount may be used at a time. Rates in US dollars.

The other guests in each stateroom do not need to be Florida residents.

  • If you are interested in booking one of these special Florida resident rates , we recommend either Small World Vacations or Undercover Tourist . We have worked with both companies for over 15 years and can recommend them wholeheartedly. It’s really a question of whether you prefer full-service booking or self booking. These staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.

Extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) do not qualify as immediate family members for the second stateroom. Active duty or retired military personnel and 100% permanently disabled veterans do not have to travel as long as their spouse has a valid military ID to show at the port. Reservists must be part of the travel party and must show ID at the port.

  • If you are interested in booking one of these special Military rates , we recommend either Small World Vacations or Undercover Tourist .

Disney Cruise Discounts for UK and Ireland Residents

There’s a useful site listing the latest Disney Cruise Line deals for UK visitors, plus a FREE phone number you can call to learn more and book your cruise!

  • Learn more about UK offers for Disney Cruise Line.

Disney Cruise Discounts for Disney Visa Cardholders

Disney Visa cardholders who use their card as their payment method onboard automatically get several discounts on purchases on the ship and on Castaway Cay. In order for this to happen, you have to register your Disney Visa card when you check in at the port. You do not need to charge the cruise fare on your Disney Visa to get the discounts.

You should not need to ask at purchase time to get the discounts; if you have the card registered any discounts should automatically be applied when you make an eligible purchase.

These discounts cannot be combined with any other discounts you might qualify for, such as Disney Vacation Club discounts.

Discounts include:

  • 10% off selected merchandise purchases of $50 or more. Excludes sale merchandise, gift cards, Castaway Cay merchandise, DVDs, CDs, big-ticket items like art, jewelry, fragrances, cosmetics and watches, plus several vague catch-all categories like “selected special items.” Basically, ask first if you’ll get the 10% off, if it’s important to your purchase decision.
  • 10% off 10-photo, 15-photo, 20-photo or unlimited photo packages.
  • 10% off the Castaway Cay Getaway package (combination of snorkeling, bicycle and float or inner-tube rental).
  • 20% off full-priced massage or facial treatment in the onboard spa while in port . This does not include massages on Castaway Cay or treatments discounted as part of onboard specials.

Disney Cruise Discounts for Disney Vacation Club Members

Dvc onboard spending discounts.

Disney Vacation Club members get several discounts on purchases onboard any Disney Cruise. You need to ask for the discount and show your Disney Vacation Club card at time of purchase.

This discount cannot be combined with any other discounts you might qualify for, such as Disney Visa discounts. DVC members who only own points purchased via resale after April 4, 2016 are not eligible for discounts, including this one.

  • 10% off selected merchandise purchases of $50 or more.
  • 10% off any digital photo package.

DVC Cruise Fare Discounts

The following cruises have discounts available for Disney Vacation Club members for up to 3 persons (some may also be available for 4 or 5). Prices given are base fares per person (Guest 1 & 2/Guest 3+). 3rd, 4th and 5th guest fares for children 12 and under will be lower. Taxes, fees and port expenses are not included. All sailings are from Port Canaveral unless noted otherwise.

Other stateroom categories may be available at other rates. Rates are per adult, based on double occupancy. Occupancy restrictions may apply. Taxes, fees, port expenses and excursions are not included. See Disney Cruise Line brochure for details and applicable terms and conditions. Other discounts do not apply. Only one discount may be used at a time. Rates in US dollars. Offer open only to Disney Vacation Club members.

  • If you are interested in booking one of these special Disney Vacation Club rates , we recommend filling out a quote form with Small World Vacations . They give you full service, including a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number, and we recommend them wholeheartedly ! Best of all, it costs you nothing to use them, PLUS their FREE onboard credit offer applies to these special fares (though note that the total cruise fare must be at least $1000 to get their onboard credit). Be sure to tell them you want to book a Disney Vacation Club fare. You will need to fax or email proof of DVC membership to finalize the booking. Note that these staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.

Organizing your own group? Disney Specialist travel agents are adept at handling large groups and offer on-board credit and sometimes other incentives. Contact a Disney Specialist travel agency such as Small World Vacations for details. Remember, it costs you nothing to use them!

Costco members can get rebates on Disney cruises, which come in the form of a Costco gift card. However, Costco Travel is not a full-service travel agency: don’t expect much service or information.

In our experience, Costco reps are very nice, but don’t know much about Disney Cruise Line. They almost certainly have never been on a Disney cruise, and may have never been on a cruise of any kind. If you choose to go this route, be prepared to spend time and energy doing your own research about what your package includes and how everything works. Heaven help you if you need to book something complicated like connecting rooms or want to know the pros and cons of different stateroom options. Costco Travel most definitely won’t be able to offer any insider tips on what to expect or help you take advantage of special booking tricks or “secret” room upgrades. Effectively you’re just booking the cruise yourself, but through Costco instead of Disney.

In addition, we find the Costco reps are clueless about Disney’s promotional offers — they really only know about the Costco rebate. You will have to do your own monitoring to see if any specials or price drops come out, and then see if you can get them applied to your booking. A top-notch Disney specialist agency will do this for you automatically, adjusting your reservation to reflect any current offers or discounts.

Travelocity sometimes has special deals on Disney cruises. They are usually fairly last-minute offers, most typically no more than 6 months in advance. Travelocity also sometimes advertises “15% off shore excursions” but be aware that those are privately booked excursions through a company called Port Promotions, NOT the official Disney excursions.

Expedia has the same base prices as everyone else, but occasionally they will have their own additional offer, like onboard credit or extra Expedia rewards points. Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully; in some cases there are sharp limits on the extra rewards or credit, or it will only apply to the cruise fare for the first two guests instead of the entire cruise fare.

Travel and Fun Things To Do

Six Questions and Answers about Disney Cruise’s Castaway Club

Flowers on Castaway Cay

Updated January 25, 2024

What is it?

Castaway Club is Disney Cruise Lines , a way of recognizing Guests who have sailed with them. If you’ve taken a Disney cruise, you’re already a Castaway Club member, and eligible to receive exclusive benefits that make your next cruise easier to plan.

How do you become a Castaway Club member?

You become a Castaway member after you have completed your first cruise. Take note of the word completed, if you have booked and paid for your cruise in full, you still need to have completed your cruise to become a member or move up a level.

What are the Castaway Club levels?

The 3 membership levels are based on the total number of completed eligible cruises:

  • Silver Castaway – 1 completed cruise
  • Gold Castaway – 5 completed cruises
  • Platinum Castaway – 10 completed cruises

Disney Cruise Levels including Pearl Castaway Club Benefits

About Eligible Sailings Sailings purchased at select fare types (such as media, vendors and Cast Members travelling on business) are not considered eligible cruises for calculating Castaway Club Membership levels.

What do Castaway Club members get?

The benefits of the Castaway Club depend on your level.

The benefits of being a Silver Castaway Club member include booking new itineraries one day before the general public. Silver members can book their Port Adventures, specialty dining, adult beverage seminars, spa services and other activities 90 days before the sailing. Access to a dedicated Castaway phone line. Early opportunity to book a Port Arrival Time (PAT) ( this benefit is currently paused due to the pandemic). Silver Castaway members also get an exclusive check-in desk at the terminal. A welcome-back gift and a silver lanyard are left in your stateroom for you. Pre-pandemic, you would get your lanyard in the terminal when you checked in. Check in 33 days prior to your cruise.

Beach Tote

Gold members have completed 5 cruises. They get all the benefits of Silver Castaway members. If you are Gold, you can book new itineraries two days before the general public and book port adventures and onboard activities 105 days before sailing. Gold and Platinum members sailing on cruises longer than 8 nights are also invited to an onboard reception. They offer complimentary adult beverages, and we received Rice Krispy Mickey treats and a preview of an upcoming show. Rounding out the benefits is a discount at the shops onboard. Check in 35 days prior to your cruise.

The Sling Bag

You become a platinum member after completing 10 cruises. As a platinum member, you receive all the benefits that silver and gold members get. Platinum cruisers can book new itineraries three days before the general public and get the first chance to book new itineraries. Onboard booking for platinum members is 120 days before the sailing. Only concierge guests get to book earlier, at 135 days. Platinum members also receive a complimentary dinner at Palo. Check in 38 days prior to your cruise.

Platinum Gift Cooler Backpack

New Pearl Level

Pearl Castaway Club  members can book new itineraries  4 days before the general public . Platinum will book 3 days prior, Gold 2 days and Silver 1 day before the general public.  Pearl member s will have early access to online activity planning starting 123 days before sailing . Platinum will remain at 120 days, Gold at 105, and Silver at 90 days. They also receieve a complimentary photo package. Check in 40 days prior to your cruise.

All members get a welcome back aboard gift. On May 1, 2023 new gifts were released for the 25th Anniversary of Disney Cruise.

How do I find my Castaway Club status?

To find out about your Castaway Status , you can find it under the already booked tab, and near the bottom is the Castaway Club link.

Castaway Club

Do Castaway Club members get a discount?

Castaway members do not get a discount. However, you can save 10% on your next cruise if you get a placeholder while on your cruise. Disney also has a discount for New Castawy Club Members. The Castaway Club Welcome Offer needs to be booked within  60 days of disembarking  your first cruise.

Castaway Cay Bahamas

Does your Castaway Membership Expire?

I have added one more question and answer because of a recent change to the Disney Cruise Line website. Recently, DCL quietly changed the Castaway Club by adding an expiration to their membership. “To remain in the program, Castaway Club Members  must book or sail on at least one eligible cruise within five years of their last Disney voyage . For more information, view the  Castaway Club terms and conditions .” 

Castaway Club Members must book or sail on at least one eligible cruise within five years of their last Disney voyage.

The language used is open to interpretation. When you click through the terms and conditions, you will find this:  “The Activity Period shall mean the five (5) year period after debarkation day of the Member’s last eligible DCL Cruise.  However, DCL may (but is not required to) extend the Activity Period and/or continue making Program Benefits available to Member if Member does not book or complete an eligible DCL cruise within their Activity Period ; such decisions shall be in DCL’s sole discretion. ” It is unclear why Disney would make this change; it is an outlier in cruising.

Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Club loyalty program: Everything you need to know

Gene Sloan

Among the best-known cruise brands, Disney Cruise Line has one of the most modest loyalty programs — even after an upgrade that brought an all-new tier .

Unlike the programs of such cruise operators as Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean , the Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club, as it's called, doesn't offer members over-the-top perks such as a free cruise after reaching a top tier. There are no big discounts on shore excursions and spa treatments for members, like lines such as Windstar Cruises offer.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter.

Still, Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Club loyalty program does bring a few valuable perks at its higher-level tiers, including early access to new itineraries and onboard activities.

The Disney loyalty program also makes it relatively easy to reach a high-level tier.

Ways to earn

Earning status in the Castaway Club loyalty program is about as simple as can be. You get a credit for every cruise you take — whether it's three nights long or 10 nights long. That's it. No muss, no fuss. Your status, as we'll explain below, depends entirely on how many cruises you take.

Program tiers and benefits

There are just four tiers in the Castaway Club program, including a new top tier unveiled in 2023:

  • Silver (after one cruise)
  • Gold (after five cruises)
  • Platinum (after 10 cruises)
  • Pearl (after 25 cruises)

Once you reach the first tier of the program (Silver), you will be entitled to exactly six perks. Perhaps the most notable of these is the ability to book in advance for onboard cruise activities such as ticket-only character greetings and specialty restaurant dinners up to 90 days before sailings. This is a big deal in the world of Disney cruises, where some of the hottest activities on ships sell out quickly.

Silver members can also book new Disney cruise itineraries one day ahead of the general public. That may not seem like much of a head start, but it can be a real advantage when trying to snag the perfect cabin on a hot new itinerary. Disney fans are known to snatch up the best cabins — if not all the cabins — on unique new sailings very quickly.

In addition, Silver members get:

  • Select port arrival time and complete online check-in 33 days in advance of departure
  • Exclusive cruise terminal check-in where available
  • A members-only direct phone line to call for information and assistance
  • A welcome-back-aboard gift

Upon reaching the Gold level, members get all the above perks with three notable upgrades. For starters, they can book onboard cruise activities up to 105 days before sailings. That's 15 days earlier than Silver members. They are also able to book new Disney cruise itineraries two days ahead of the general public.

Plus, they can complete check-in 35 days in advance.

In addition, Gold members get:

  • A private reception for members
  • Special discounts on voyages

The third tier of the program, the Platinum level, extends the pre-booking windows even further. Platinum members are able to make advance bookings for onboard cruise activities up to 120 days before sailings. That's 15 days earlier than Gold members and 30 days earlier than Silver members. They are also able to book new Disney cruise itineraries three days ahead of the general public.

For Platinum members, check-in opens 38 days in advance of departures.

In addition, Platinum level members are entitled to a free dinner at Palo , the upscale, adults-only Italian eatery on Disney ships — more on this in a moment.

The elite level that makes a difference

It isn't really until you hit the new Pearl level of the Castaway Club that the perks start to get interesting. The big perk at this level is that you can book new itineraries earlier than everyone else. You also have the earliest possible access to reserve onboard activities.

Specifically, you can make reservations for newly announced itineraries four days before the general public. You can also book activities up to 123 days in advance of sailing.

Related: A beginners guide to cruise line loyalty programs

In the world of Disney, this is a very big deal. As mentioned above, Disney fans are known to snag all the good cabins for a popular sailing the moment a trip goes on sale. Ditto for onboard activities.

In addition, Pearl status also lets you check in for your cruise 40 days in advance of sailing.

One more perk added for Pearl members of Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Club is a complimentary unlimited digital photo package, which is a notable perk.

Disney has lots of official photographers on board its ships to snap photos of you and your kids with princesses and the like. However, it doesn't offer those photos for free. Paying for even a relatively small number of photos taken by these onboard photographers — even in digital form — normally can cost hundreds of dollars.

Best elite perk

Unlike some lines, Disney doesn't offer any truly over-the-top elite perks, such as the free cruise that top-tier members of Royal Caribbean's Crown & Anchor Society get . It's also skimpy on handing out big discounts on shore excursions, spa treatments and other cruise line-sold services to elite members — something some other lines do. Still, there are a few perks that get us at least modestly excited.

The most enticing offering, in our view, is the free dinner that comes with Platinum status at Palo, as noted above.

Related: The best credit cards for booking cruises

The invitation extends to the elite member and any other adult passenger staying in the same cabin. Assuming there are two of you, that's a $100 value. Palo normally costs $50 per person.

The perk can be used at either the Palo eateries found on Disney's four older ships or the Palo Steakhouse eatery on the line's new Disney Wish .

Does my Disney Castaway Club status last forever?

In a major change that took effect in early 2024, Disney Castaway Club members will no longer get "forever status" upon reaching the various tiers of the program — a notable allure of the program since its inception.

As of this year, Castaway Club members lose their Castaway Club status — and, indeed, their entire membership in the program, even at the entry level — if they don't book or complete an eligible Disney cruise at least once every five years.

As a result, if you haven't taken a Disney Cruise Line voyage in a few years, and you have high-level status in the Castaway Club that you want to preserve for the future, it might pay to book a quickie Disney voyage this year to maintain your loyalty level. Or, maybe now is the time to switch your loyalty to another family-friendly cruise brand, such as Royal Caribbean.

Bottom line

Disney Cruise Line offers a handful of decent perks to members of its Castaway Club loyalty program, including early access to new itineraries and onboard activities.

However, the Castaway Club loyalty program is not nearly as robust as the frequent cruiser programs of many other well-known brands, such as Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line. If you're going to sail a lot with Disney, you'll want to do it because you love the brand, not because you expect a lot of onboard recognition for your loyalty.

Discounts for Cast Members and Military

Cool Cruiser

I haven't been in these groups for a long time and I am trying to book a Disney Cruise. I have only been on Carnival once and used an agent.  So my Disney account shows Florida Resident and Disney Plus.  Are these discounts added automatically if they are available?

Also, two of the people coming with us are Cast Members (daughter and boyfriend).  She says her discount calendar doesn't go out to Thanksgiving of next year yet... If available at a later time, can they add cast member discount/pricing?   I have them in one room and me and hubby in another, for discounts, would it be better to be my daughter and I in one room, and hubby and boyfriend in another?  I haven' finished booking yet, but put the reservation on hold...

Same question for military... on my Disney account, I don't see how to add that my husband and I are retired military. If available, can I add that after booking? 

I may just need to call... Of course, I want all the discounts available.

Cast member discounts typically show up much closer to actual cruise.  Around 90 days out.  If the discount is a better price (taking into account any cancellation penalties) you have to cancel current reservation and make a new one with the CM price.  You would also lose any activity/excursion reservations connected to the original reservation.

Military discounts are on specific cruises, not all cruises.  You can find the dates of those cruises on the DCL website on the "Plan a cruise" tab, "Special Offers" link.  I don't know for sure how those work, if you can just apply the discounted rate to an existing reservation or if you have to cancel and rebook.

Any discounts must be added to the reservation.  I don't think any automatically happen.  And, I believe, you can only get one, no stacking discounts.

I know when I booked a Disney+ special cruise for last month (I booked it in July), it was specifically mentioned to me at least twice that the sale was final and unless I tested positive for COVID there would be no refunds, no price adjustments, no nothing. You should read the specifics of any discounts you are interested in using to see their stipulations.

It worked out great for me. I ended up cruising on Disney for what I consider to be a bargain, after having experienced it.

Long story short, neither of you will get discounts for that cruise.  Disney offers CM, military, and FL resident pricing on near-term cruises they are having trouble filling.  The CM's will, however, get discounts on on-board purchases just like in the parks.

For the CM discount, she is able to book her room as well as another room at the discount, so no need to split the cast members into different rooms. But like others mentioned, it's all very short notice when they're posted and cancelling and rebooking might not be ideal bc of the cancellation window.

I do not think cast member discounts are for all cruises. My sister is a cast member and watches the offerings on the cast website. They only discount cruises that are not full and after final payment is due.   It is not likely a Thanksgiving cruise would be discounted.

This is true and discounted cruises are not posted on the Hub until 45 days out.

Cast Member - Resort Discount - 40% Off for Friends & Family

  • Thread starter Kevin1281
  • Start date Apr 11, 2022

Mouseketeer

  • Apr 11, 2022

One of my best friends works for ESPN. He has offered us his 40% off resort discount for friends/family for our upcoming trip. Next week we will be four months out, which is when he said he can apply the discount. In the past, we were lucky enough to get this discount through my cousin who used to work for Disney. He was actually on property and would have to go to the resort in person, prior to our arrival, to validate it. How would this work with my buddy who works for ESPN? He will not be there in person the week that we are going. I know that the easiest way to find out is to ask him, but he is currently away on a family vacation and I don't want to bother him. While it was fresh on my mind, I figured I'd post this thread to see if any of you Disney veterans might have the answer.

Your friend will request a friends and family voucher through work which you will present upon arrival. Also, I’m unsure what you mean by he can apply the discount 4 months out. My husband is a CT employee so we are pretty familiar with the process. We always go on the hub and book the resort reservation using the friends and family discount. You need to see which resorts are offered with that particular discount at any given time. I’m just making sure you know it’s not a 40% off discount you can apply in a blanket fashion to any reservation.  

KerryCM

The F&F has changed. You can now only book them 3 months in advance. I know I have had to fax my ID, front and back to the resort 10 days before the guest arrives. Lately I have only been getting 25% discounts.

However, we still booked F&F because we will get discounted tickets from AAA. One is able to get AAA discounted tickets, but only if they've have booked a resort using F&F, is that correct?

I have a 5 night stat a French Quarter booked for March 2023. I called Disney Resort Hotel Reservations [(407) 939-1936] yesterday. I called to update the dates of my stay. I was on the phone with the CM for a while (90 minutes ish), and built up some rapport. When the CM asked 'Is there anything else I can help you with at this time?". I asked "How do CM Friends & Family discounts work for Resorts right now?". CM asked "Will you be staying in the room with your CM friend". I said "No". CM then said: "OK, well it's actually way easier for your CM friend now that we've just done what we did over the last 90 minutes, since it's much easier for your CM friend to call an get the F&F rate applied to an existing reservation. It is more difficult and time consuming for your CM friend to book for you. Here is what your CM friend needs to do. First, make sure your friend the CM has this info: His Disney Employee ID. Your First and Last Name. You booking confirmation number for French Quarter for March 2023. Your full mailing address, including zip, and your phone number. The address and phone number must all match what is in your MDE account. With the info, they call 1.407.WDW.Cast. When the booking CM answers the phone, your friend gives them your booking confirmation number. The CM on the phone will check for the availability of F&F discounts for your room type, on your dates at your resort. If one is available, the CM on the phone will apply it to your booking." Me: "Can I ask my friend the CM to do this now/ASAP? Or do I need to wait until early 2023, when they release the F&F discounts? Or does my friend the CM need to wait until 4 months before my arrival date, and call then? " CM: "No, there's not need to wait. It's better for your friend to call now. There are a certain number of discounts per resort/night at 40% off, and a slightly larger number at 25% off, and when they're gone, they are gone. It's better they call now. They'll either get 40%, or 25%, or 0% off. But sooner is better to give it a try". Me: "Thanks, last question. Does my friend the CM need to fax his Employee ID to the resort 10 days before I arrive?" CM: "You got me on that one. I do not know" Does anyone know if this is accurate? The CM I spoke to yesterday seemed honest and knowledgeable. He said he often processes CM F&F discounts as part of his job, and this is the current process. Thanks.

CM then said: "OK, well it's actually way easier for your CM friend now that we've just done what we did over the last 90 minutes, since it's much easier for your CM friend to call an get the F&F rate applied to an existing reservation. It is more difficult and time consuming for your CM friend to book for you. Here is what your CM friend needs to do. First, make sure your friend the CM has this info: His Disney Employee ID. Your First and Last Name. You booking confirmation number for French Quarter for March 2023. Your full mailing address, including zip, and your phone number. The address and phone number must all match what is in your MDE account. With the info, they call 1.407.WDW.Cast. When the booking CM answers the phone, your friend gives them your booking confirmation number. The CM on the phone will check for the availability of F&F discounts for your room type, on your dates at your resort. If one is available, the CM on the phone will apply it to your booking." Me: "Can I ask my friend the CM to do this now/ASAP? Or do I need to wait until early 2023, when they release the F&F discounts? Or does my friend the CM need to wait until 4 months before my arrival date, and call then? " CM: "No, there's not need to wait. It's better for your friend to call now. There are a certain number of discounts per resort/night at 40% off, and a slightly larger number at 25% off, and when they're gone, they are gone. It's better they call now. They'll either get 40%, or 25%, or 0% off. But sooner is better to give it a try". Me: "Thanks, last question. Does my friend the CM need to fax his Employee ID to the resort 10 days before I arrive?" CM: "You got me on that one. I do not know" Does anyone know if this is accurate? The CM I spoke to yesterday seemed honest and knowledgeable. He said he often processes CM F&F discounts as part of his job, and this is the current process. Thanks. Click to expand...

DonnaDuck333 said: Hi KerryCM, I see the discount can range from up to 40%. A friend of my mom who worked for Disney for over 20 years is going to get us a room discount using his family and friends. The question is, do you know first what the Polynesian Resort discount has been in the past? Does the discount get higher with the more expensive resorts? Thank you for any help. Click to expand...
  • Aug 8, 2022
Mle8308 said: The Polynesian is rarely available, they don’t have problems booking it with guests paying rack rate. And with buildings converted to DVC years ago, there are fewer regular rooms available. Never say never, but have alternate choices. Discounts were a lot more limited this year. The cast F&F rate for the WL was the same as the Disney+ rate for this summer, 25% on certain rooms. It was easier to book using that discount. There was nothing for a 40% discount for August. It’s based on occupancy, higher occupancy, less discounted rooms and lower discounts. Click to expand...
DonnaDuck333 said: Thank you Mle8308, for your response and help. The Boardwalk Resort (club level) is our second choice if Poly is not available. Our third Yacht Club (Club Level). I am hoping one of those falls under the 40%, I would be happy with 35% even. Click to expand...

I live near the Disney Hilton Head Resort. They are always offering part time positions, but from everything I've read, they don't offer hotel discounts to part time employees anymore. Perhaps if they changed this, they wouldn't have such a low retention rate. I know plenty of retired seniors who would jump at the chance for a PT position there.

Piggy backing on this to ask, does anyone confirm receipt of the ID when it's emailed and that everything is verified for F&F reservations? A friend of mine booked a stay for me through the hub and sent a photo her id off by email with my reservation numbers but it seems like I have no way to check the verification went through ok.

Disney has a well-established reputation for honoring those who serve our country and their loved ones. However, navigating the landscape of Disney’s military discounts can be challenging if you’re unsure where to start. Disney has special offers on park tickets, resort stays, and cruises. We’ll dig in to discover how Disney salutes our country’s dedicated service members — and, if you’re eligible, how to access these perks.

Military Discounts for Disney Theme Park Tickets

Walt Disney World’s Disney Military Salute Ticket and Disneyland’s Disney Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket programs have been extended through 2024. These generously discounted programs have been renewed yearly since 2009, but every year, we wait on the edge of our seats to see if they will be renewed because they’re such a popular discount.

You need to meet specific criteria to be eligible. There are slight variations in each park’s requirements, so double-check the links we provide for specifics, but here’s the meat of it:

To qualify for the discounted ticket, you must meet at least 1 of these requirements:

  • Active or retired U.S. military personnel , including active or retired members of the U.S. National Guard, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Military Reserves, and U.S. Department of Defense
  • Honorably discharged veteran with 100% permanent and total (P&T) service-connected disability
  • Active or retired Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS) or Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
  • A spouse of an eligible service member with an active and valid military ID
  • Military personnel of foreign nations and their family members, when assigned or attached to a U.S. military unit or installation
  • Widowed and non-remarried spouse of personnel who died while on active duty or while in retired status
  • Non-remarried former spouse who was married to military personnel while on active duty for at least 20 years

These tickets are fairly flexible, though there are some requirements of which you’ll need to be aware:

  • The eligible service member or their spouse must be present in the party on the day of activation
  • The same person must use each ticket for the duration of the ticket
  • Tickets are non-transferable
  • The discount cannot be combined with any other offer
  • There is a maximum of 6 passes per eligible service member or their spouse (but not both)
  • Tickets must be purchased at a U.S. military base ticket office

This last requirement means each family can purchase a maximum of 6 passes at Walt Disney World and a further 6 passes at Disneyland Resort. The exception is if both spouses are on active duty or retired military who fall into the categories above.

If you have a larger immediate family, such as a spouse and 5 children, Disney will generally make an exception to allow all of you access to a discounted ticket.

One of the most exciting aspects of the discounted tickets, discount aside, is that they do not need to be used consecutively and don’t expire 14 days after first use like standard tickets do.

If you decide to go for a day trip in April but have always wanted to see the magic of Disney during the holidays, that’s completely doable. It’s like a mini-annual pass.

With the Disney Military Salute Ticket (also known as the Armed Forces Salute Ticket), you can save up to 40% on your visit to Walt Disney World, with your most significant savings occurring during the busiest times of the year. The discount is significant thanks to the tiered pricing that standard tickets incur based on demand. Disney Military Salute Tickets don’t have this issue; the ticket price is the same no matter when you visit.

Here’s an example of the price difference you can experience between tickets:

As you can see, there’s a huge difference in how much you’ll need to pay with the military ticket versus a regular ticket.

Disney credit cardholders get special park perks , such as discounts on dining and merchandise.

Where Can You Visit With Disney Military Salute Tickets?

There are 2 types of Disney Military Salute Tickets available to service members. The least expensive tickets still include park hopping abilities , which means you can visit multiple Walt Disney World theme parks on the same day.

The Disney Military Salute Ticket With Park Hopper Plus , meanwhile, also provides admission each day to one of the following attractions (based on the length of your ticket):

  • Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
  • Disney’s Blizzard Beach
  • ESPN World Wide Sports Complex
  • Mini golf courses

Disney Military Salute Ticket Blackout Dates

The blackout dates for Disney Military Salute Tickets change each year. Here are the blackout dates for 2024:

  • March 24, 2024, to April 6, 2024
  • November 24, 2024, to November 30, 2024

Walt Disney World’s military tickets for 2024 expire on December 20, 2024 .

Disneyland also offers military discount tickets at significantly discounted prices. Here’s what you can expect to pay.

Unlike Walt Disney World, these tickets don’t have any blackout dates. However, you must use up all your days by December 13, 2024 , or the remainder will be forfeited.

For those who are unfamiliar, Genie+ is the paid version of Disneyland’s old FASTPASS system, which allows you to make ride reservations and skip the general queues.

If you aren’t active duty military, retired, or a 100% P&T disabled veteran, you won’t qualify for the Walt Disney World’s Disney Military Salute Ticket or Disneyland’s Disney Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket. In that case, you may be entitled to a standard military discount ticket .

Unfortunately, the discount is not as steep, and, depending on when you’re going, may just shave a few dollars off the ticket price . Still, it’s better than nothing if you’re considering the regular military discount because you have a party larger than 6 of non-immediate family or friends.

Like the specialty Disney military tickets, you must purchase this ticket type in advance from your MRW office, other eligible base ticketing offices, or Shades of Green, the military-owned Walt Disney World hotel.

Disney offers theme park discounts for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, though the ticket price will depend on your military status.

Military Discounts at Disney Hotels

The Walt Disney World Resort has more than 25 hotels available for guests. As you can imagine, it’s a sprawling complex.

Those with the same eligibility requirements for Disney Military Salute Tickets can also score deals on Walt Disney World Resort hotel stays.

To book rooms at discounted rates, call 407-939-7830. Note that the longest period you’ll be able to stay is 14 nights. There are also restrictions on which room types and resorts are eligible for this offer.

Shades of Green

Although it is owned by the Department of Defense (DoD), Shades of Green is considered a Walt Disney World Resort hotel due to its location within the grounds. Not everyone is eligible to stay here, though thanks to the Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018, many more veterans are now allowed access.

Shades of Green is considered a moderate Disney hotel, but it’s an upgraded version. The rooms are larger than those in other moderate hotels, and the amenities resemble those of a Deluxe Resort.

If you’re eligible to stay here, Shades of Green may be the best value for your money. The price for the standard room, which can sleep up to 5 people, starts at $174 per night for E1 to E6 active military personnel — the price increases for other tiers, including officers and veterans.

Shades of Green pricing

Redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points for the Walt Disney World Swan or Walt Disney World Dolphin can save you even more on your stay. Check out our guide on how to visit Disney World for cheap by using points and miles .

Even without a dedicated military hotel like Shades of Green, Disneyland does offer military discounts on hotel and resort stays. To book this offer, call 833-618-0536 .

From what we can tell, because the inventory is constantly fluctuating, so are the prices. If you have the freedom of price and time of year, it’s best to call and ask what will give you the best value and try to base your trip around that.

For example, we checked out a 2-night stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa in mid-August. Standard rooms, which are the least expensive, were going for $683 per night before taxes.

Disney Grand Californian pricing

However, when we called to ask for the military discount, we were quoted $614 per night . That’s a decent chunk of change, especially during the summer season.

We’d be remiss not to include discounts available for Disney Cruise Line ! Eligibility requirements are similar to those who qualify for the Disney Military Salute Ticket or Disneyland’s Disney Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket, including active duty, retirees, and those who are 100% P&T disabled.

Only 50 rooms per cruise are available with the military discount, so they sell out quickly. Be sure to check frequently to see which cruises are being offered with a discount , and call 800-951-3532 to make reservations as soon as they are available .

Beyond this, you’re only entitled to 1 discounted room per sailing, so if you travel in a large group, you’ll want to consider the cost of a second room.

Although Disney Cruise Line sailings tend to be more expensive than other cruise lines, they’re also high-quality and a lot of fun. The military discount you can receive can also significantly drop the cost.

For example, you can book a 12-night cruise in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah for $9,744 with a military discount. That’s a lot, but who wouldn’t love to visit Norway and Iceland?

Disney Cruise Line military discount cruise

That same cruise for regular guests, however, is $14,242 .

Disney Cruise Line full price

That’s a savings of $4,498 or nearly 32%!

Disney is a world of its own. So many of us go there to escape the stressors of everyday life and immerse ourselves in the dreamlike wonder of being a kid again. What better gift to our military personnel than to make that magic accessible to those who need it most and their respective families?

From park tickets to hotel discounts and even special rates on cruises, Disney does service members proud by offering significant savings to those who are eligible.
