One of the best parts of sailing with Disney Cruise Line (besides the shows, unlimited ice cream, and Castaway Cay) is the shopping. From exclusive ship Spirit Jerseys, apparel and ornaments to limited-edition pins and plush you won’t find in the parks, the onboard shops are packed with treasures that make perfect souvenirs.
The good news? If you’re a Disney Vacation Club Member, Disney Visa Cardholder, or Castaway Club member, you can score discounts that make it even easier to bring home a little extra magic. There’s even discounts available for select private island experiences, and spa treatments onboard! Today we’re answering the question: what discounts are available onboard Disney Cruise Line?
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Member Discounts
DVC Members enjoy several special perks while at sea. Currently, members receive:
- 10% off merchandise purchases of $50 or more in onboard shops. Shop til you drop… into Cove Cafe!
- 20% off select spa services while in port, offering a great way to indulge in a little extra relaxation.
- 10% off digital photo packages purchased onboard, making it easier to capture and keep the memories from your cruise.
Disney Visa Cardholder Savings
Saving your Disney Visa credit or debit card as your primary form of payment to your onboard folio has its benefits!
- 10% off merchandise purchases of $50 or more in onboard shops
- 20% off select spa services while in port
- 10% off digital photo packages purchased onboard
- 10% off Castaway Cay Getaway Packages (enjoy snorkeling, bicycle rental, and a float or inner tube rental)
- 10% off select Disney Lookout Cay experiences (including snorkel and bicycle rentals)
Castaway Club Member Benefits
Anyone who sails with Disney Cruise Line automatically becomes part of the Castaway Club, with benefits that grow depending on the number of sailings completed. Gold (5 or more sailings), Platinum (10+ sailings), and Pearl (25+ sailings) members all receive 10% off merchandise in onboard shops. This discount is applied upon checkout, as the shop Cast Member can view your Castaway Club status on your card and account when ringing you up.
Extra Ways to Save
Even before setting sail, you can stretch your vacation budget further by purchasing Disney Gift Cards at a discount. Retailers like Costco and Target often offer up to 5% off Disney Gift Cards, which can then be applied to your folio onboard.
And EVERYONE can take advantage of the onboard placeholder deal for a future Disney cruise. Instead of choosing exact dates, you simply put down a reduced deposit of $250 per stateroom, which holds your spot for up to two years. When you’re ready to sail again, that placeholder unlocks 10% off your next cruise fare. (Bonus: put those Disney Gift Cards you purchased for 5% off towards your placeholder for double the savings!) Once you book your placeholder, you can assign this to your travel professional with Dreams Unlimited Travel to unlock even more savings and onboard credit.
Happy saving and sailing!
