Booking a Disney Cruise
Planning a return to DCL after a break of more than 15 years... I know, madness!
Who would you recommend booking with? Need return flights from MAN, planning a few days at US on site before the cruise - thinking Uber to MCO to pick up DCL bus but open to ideas. Post cruise I’ve booked a few days in a Poly studio with my DVC points This is for March/April 2019. Any tips and suggestions welcome. |

We flew man-lhr-miami on ba recently. Not the most modern 747’s but room was the same and service/food were good. We got the last flight into Miami so we were straight into US time as we didn’t get to bed till about 1130pm. We got the flight back just after midnight and had the best sleep I’ve ever had in economy. All this saved us £1600 for the 4 of us over flying into mco. We hired a car for one day for the simple drive up to PC.

Depending on the cruise, Virgin Cruises worked well for me last year with a 4 night DCL after 7 at Disney. It worked out cheaper than buying separately and I got free dining. All I would say is they were useless at knowing much about DCL including at one point telling me I didn't have transfers when I did.

With the exchange rate so volatile, I would personally book direct in £££ at disneycruise
Book your flights etc separately as you have your accom with DVC points. I would personally not recommend using a UK travel agent unless you are an experienced cruiser with DCL as, like Sarah says, you'll miss vital info because they know zero! My top tip would be to go for the longest cruise possible! Check the Uber and Lyft price from resort to Port Canaveral as an Uber from resort to MCO then DCL transport will work out really expensive (it's $39 each person each way just for the DCL transport). Look at 2 x one-way car rentals if you don't mind driving. Discount Florida Car Hire is an advertiser on the Dibb and very good. Joa

Sorry for the late reply - crazy week.
Thank you for all the advice, I’d forgotten there was a charge for DCL transport. Our group appears to be growing so apart from the Poly nothing booked yet. Thinking 2 cabins may be better than having 4 adults (parents and grown up kids )!in one cabin. Any views/ experience? |

We always book two staterooms - one verandah and one inside stateroom opposite. The cost really isn’t much different to four in one room but you have the advantage of having two bathrooms, toilets etc. The extra space makes a huge difference.
