So this is my first cruise. I read that I can only book port excursions at 75 days out. Are there any other dates or anything else I need to be worried about now?
Or do what I did, I searched for DCL Merch and estimated the price and how many souvenirs I would buy. I bought Discounted Disney Gift Cards and applied it as On Board Credit. I also added up all the excursions, gratuities, fine dining and applied those to the Gift Card. By the end of the last night I still had about $100 on my account, which I used for souvenirs for friends.
Log onto BJ's and purchase gift cards, a $100 card costs $94.99 and no shipping charges and you don't have to be a member. so that is the total cost and savings. You can order as many as you want, they can be used to pay your cruise payment or any portion of it, they also can be used on the ship, just go to the service desk and apply them to your account. at $5 savings per card, I told my wife she could use the extra for coffee at the Cove . Like others have said, go to the many sites and plan. Even thou we've been on 5 cruises I've purchased a Disney Cruise book. My wife says by the time the cruise comes I'll know everything about the Dream and the book will be falling apart. Enjoy
