Disney Cruise Line’s pricing for onboard Internet packages have been updated this week for the fleet, except for the Disney Wonder should, based on reports, be updated to the new internet plans during an upcoming dry dock.
The new pricing is as follows:
Stay Connected Package
- $16/day when purchased for the full voyage
- $18/day when purchased for 24 hours
Basic Surf Package
- $24/day when purchased for the full voyage
- $28/day when purchased for 24 hours
Premium Surf Package
- $34/day when purchased for the full voyage
- $42/day when purchased for 24 hours
As a reminder, Guests can purchase Internet for 24 hour periods, or per voyage. Guests receive a 20% discount on voyage pricing vs 24-hour pricing, and adding additional devices to an Internet package will receive a 20% discount. If Guests purchase a voyage plan mid-voyage, they will only be charged for the remaining days. Please note: “Days remaining” change at midnight, so purchasing at 11:55 pm will still charge Guests for the full day.
The new pricing rolled out at the end of July and culminates with tomorrow’s Disney Fantasy departure. The rollout for each ship is as follows:
- Disney Magic – 7/31/23
- Disney Wish – 7/31/23
- Disney Dream – 8/1/23
- Disney Fantasy – 8/5/23

Does anyone remember the current(old) prices
Initial pricing would be shown in the screenshots from in the linked article. $12/24/36.
Looks like I’ll be paying a lot more than I did under the old plans… Question is, will I be getting more?
Not burning through an allotment of megabytes with background tasks and other data bleeds is a nice perk. No longer do you need to shut down a bunch of background tasks on your devices to limit data usage to avoid wasting your data plan. That alone makes it a better offering.
Never having done a Disney Cruise before, are these prices per stateroom or per device or some blended combination?
I believe it’s per device.
Per device. You can add additional devices, but you can also just share, but only 1 device can be active on the plan at any given time.
Hi Scott – a couple of questions-
For the full-cruise pricing, are you charged for embarkation and debarkation days, when one is not getting a full 24-hour period? Or only full days onboard?
And, I’m a bit confused on the day pricing – it says based on 24 hour period but then says purchasing at 11:55pm gets charged a full day. Is it 24 hours or calendar days?
Thanks!
It is per day, not 24hr period which is why they shared the example of being charged for a full day even if you purchase at 11:55PM.
50 mgb for free for up to 7 day cruises would be a good perc for the new pearl level of castaway. Then increase it to 75 mgb for cruise over 7 days.
The new usage type plans are not limited to megabytes like the old plans. (except for the Wonder which is not yet upgraded)
An extra 15 percentage reduction in the cost would work.
Good luck on that Cliff. Not even for Christmas.
For my wife and I, when we are on our Disney Cruises. We actually “disconnect” so this really does not affect us so much. The Movies on board as well as the Cabin TVs have Disney films. Plenty to keep us occupied with pool, bars, shows and Character photos. We only use our phones for the Navigator app.
Which one was the $99 length of cruise? That’s the one I would use. We don’t watch movies listen to music any of that. I just want to be able to text and FaceTime any suggestions.
Hello Scott,
Do they still have concurrent devices option prices? I was thinking that we can save money with devices option and full voyage package price.
Yes, you can still add additional devices.
Hi Scott
How is the new internet vs old?
And do we know when wonder is getting their upgrade
New internet is great because you no longer need to monitor data usage! Wonder should be upgraded this month during dry dock scheduled for after the final Alaskan cruise.
Where do we sign up for this can you prepay or do you have to wait until you are on the cruise?
Once onboard you will be able to select and purchase a plan.
Do you need the wifi for the navigator app, last time I went on Disney cruise they were still printing them out and I don’t think the app was really used
To use the Navigator App simply connect to DCL-Guest network onboard. It does NOT require a paid data plan to access the app offerings. You can ask for a printed schedule of events at Guest Services.
Does DCL still offer the 50mb free on the first day, or did it go away since it no longer metered?
This is no longer an offering with the new internet offering.
What is the difference between Basic Surf and Premium surf packages?
The different package levels offer different levels of internet access which are listed on the sign up page for each level. You can read more about the options here.
