This week’s special offers from Disney Cruise Line feature two notable sailings for U.S. Military Personnel. The first Very Merrytime Cruise of the year aboard the Disney Fantasy and a Thanksgiving cruise aboard the Disney Wonder from Galveston. The last Disney Fantasy Halloween on the High Seas cruise remains available with the Florida Resident Rate.
The Disney Dream will be headed to dry dock in October. With the announced enhancements and the Very Merrytime Cruises beginning in early November, I do not anticipate any special offers for the Disney Dream until next year.
These rates are available to book today through Sunday, September 27, 2015, while inventory lasts.

Are concierge level ever offered with any special offer Military?
I am hoping Disney starts to offer the military rate on 3 and 4 day cruises again!
Have you heard any rumors of sorts?
There are no rumors with regard to these rates. It is all about supply and demand. If DCL has trouble filling the ships the offer these rates. The Halloween and Very MerryTime sailings helping to fill the ships from September through December. In February, the Disney Magic will return to Port Canaveral to join the Disney Dream alternating 3 and 4 nights cruises. This increase in itinerary supply could result in MTO rates before the spring break season begins.
Additionally, have you ever seen CAT OOV or higher offered at military rate? Thanks
No, I have not.
Thanks!
