Ahoy there, Disney Vacation Club members! I’ve got some exciting news that’s sure to make your day – the third-ever sailing of the Disney Treasure is just around the corner, and you have the exclusive opportunity to be a part of it. If you’re ready for an adventure on the high seas with Mickey and the gang, keep reading to find out all the details on how to book your spot on this DVC Member-exclusive cruise.
When and How to Book
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 14, 2023, because that’s the day reservations open up for this incredible cruise. The booking window is from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so make sure you’re ready to jump on board during those hours. Online and in-person reservations won’t be available, so it’s crucial to be prepared for the booking frenzy that’s about to happen.
Get Ready for Some Wait Time
With over 1,200 cabins to fill aboard the ship, you can expect some wait times as the dedicated representatives work hard to secure your spot. So, have your patience cap on and be ready to enjoy some quality Disney daydreaming while you wait.
What You’ll Need
Before you start the booking process, ensure you have all the necessary information at your fingertips. You’ll need the full name, address, date of birth, and contact information for all individuals cruising with you. Don’t forget your DVC member ID, Castaway Club number, and any special medical or dietary needs you or your fellow passengers might have.
Consider Multiple Cabin Classes
To increase your chances of getting the cabin of your dreams, it’s a good idea to have multiple cabin classes in mind. Options tend to fill up quickly, and it’s not unusual for DVC-exclusive cruises to reach full capacity in a single day.
Membership Extras Requirement
To be eligible to book this exclusive cruise, you must qualify for Membership Extras. This currently entails purchasing at least 150 points directly from Disney Vacation Club. Additionally, at least one passenger in your party must be booked using DVC points. For other passengers, you can choose to use points or cash. Keep in mind that full payment for cash guests must be made upfront, and there’s also a one-time $95 transaction fee.
Expect the Disney Cruise Line Experience
It’s important to note that this cruise is not an “S.S. Member Cruise” which usually comes with unique stateroom gifts, special guests, and extra perks. Instead, you should anticipate the standard Disney Cruise Line experience on this Disney Treasure “First Wave” sailing, which is sure to be nothing short of magical.
Stay Tuned for Pricing
As of now, point charts and cash prices for this cruise haven’t been released yet. These details are expected to come out closer to the booking date, so keep an eye out for updates. Also, if you’re curious about Disney Cruise Line’s sixth vessel, which is set to sail in December 2024, check out our previous coverage for some exciting insights.
So, Disney Vacation Club members, get ready to set sail on the adventure of a lifetime with the Disney Treasure. Make sure you’re all set for the booking day, and may your journey be filled with pixie dust and unforgettable memories. See you on the high seas, mateys!
