Tip #1, if you even think you may take another Disney Cruise, book a three day cruise for two in the off season while you are still onboard. You only pay half the amount of the deposit, get 10% off the fare and a nice stateroom credit for the new cruise. You do _not_ have to stick with that date, ship, cruise, number of passengers. You can keep moving the reservation around until you find the perfect time to sail again and you’ll keep all your benefits. We booked two, because I knew that we’d probably want to book another before we sailed again (prices are almost always the lowest when they first release the fares).

If you use a Travel Agent, (pick one who knows Disney and Disney Cruising!) make sure you give that info to the Cast Member booking your cruise onboard. While you can still transfer your reservation to any Travel Agent later, if you don’t use your TA’s name when you book, Disney will pay less of a commission to your TA and hence, the TA will not be able to pass along more savings to you in the form of an additional stateroom credit (if they do that).
