There are several 'discount' websites that are reputable. Dreams Unlimited as already mentioned seems to be quite good and in the past I have used vacationstogo and they were excellent.

I don't know about anybody else but the Disney cruises tend to sell out quite quickly I've found, so the earlier you can book, generally the cheaper it will be.

As for which to choose, thats down to personal preference, we have done the 3 day and the 7 day western cruise both of which we throughly enjoyed and would recommend, but it really is down to personal choice.

Hi there

We are off on our first DCL on 27th Sept for 3 days. We booked back in March this year. Only advice I would give is definately book through a US T/A. You can book with DCL online and get the onboard credits from them and transfer to US T/A. You will probably also get onboard credits from them. DO NOT book through a UK T/A. I saved £637 by cancelling with UK and rebooking with US.

Also the earlier you book the cheaper it is.

If you are as lucky as us we booked a Cat 8 room and we got a free upgrade to Cat 5 last week.

We have booked our first DCL for Nov 08 and booked through Dreams Unlimited. They offer on board credits better than Disney. Email them and they will give you a quote very quickly - do not book through UK agent. Please note you can cancel the cruise up to 90 days before you sail and will get all your money back including deposit - subject to exchnage rate. You can't really loose.

I would book with dreams unlimited. We went with them in October 2005 - had great service and could pay money off the cruise via the web.

We are going on a cruise in January but we are using DVC points this time.

You need to consider how long you want to cruise for. We went three days in 2005 but we are doing the 4 days one in January.

Regarding Disney hotels this really depends on your budget and what time of year. For example Wilderness Lodge is wonderful in winter and Yacht and Beach club is fab in summer
