Placeholder: 8 Questions and Answers

Updated January 21, 2024

What is a placeholder?

A placeholder is a special onboard discount offer on a future Disney cruise. You pay $250 to get a placeholder; the $250 goes towards the cost of the future cruise.

The Disney Cruise Line Onboard Booking Offer allows Guests to make a Placeholder Reservation for a future Disney cruise and enjoy 10% savings off prevailing rates as quoted on disneycruise.com, plus enjoy a reduced deposit on sailings 7 nights and longer . The offer is valid for up to 2 staterooms on one sail date per household on board, regardless of the number of adults in the household. This offer is valid for Categories 4 to 11 only. The cruise must commence within 24 months after the Placeholder Reservation was booked, or the reservation will automatically cancel.

Why should I book a Placeholder?

To save 10% off the prevailing cruise rate of your future cruise. Also, for cruises 7+ nights, the deposit is 10% of the cruise fare. Cruises under 7 nights require a 20% deposit of the cruise fare.

A Placeholder Reservation is an open-ended reservation that allows Guests to select their future sail date at a later time. A $250 deposit must be paid while on board and is fully refundable if the reservation is cancelled. Once a sail date is selected, standard cancellation fees apply.

How do you book a placeholder?

As I mentioned, you can only book your placeholder while aboard a Disney cruise. There are now two ways to book: the DCL Navigator app or going to the Future Cruise Sails desk and picking up a form.

Where do I go to book the placeholder?

Update March 2023 . The Future Cruise desk is not regularly open since Covid. Book your placeholder on the app. Go to the Future Cruise desk, complete the form and drop it into the box located on the desk. I always take a picture of the form after I fill it out, just in case it gets misplaced at the Future Cruise desk. Choose the save 10% off your next cruise on the app. You will be taken to the payment page. If you want to use a different card than the one you have on file, you can.

Your placeholder will be pending until the payment has cleared through the system. I would recommend taking a screenshot of the page in case you have any problems and don’t receive a confirmation of your placeholder.

When can I use my placeholder?

You must use it within 24 months of booking. Disney is strict with the deadline. If the next cruise you want to book is a day after the placeholder expires, you will not be able to use it.

Pro tip: book it as late on the cruise as you can. Don’t wait too late, though. The 10% off future cruise link disappears at midnight of the last full day. I waited too long and had to go to the Guest Services desk to request a form.

10% savings applies only to sailings that commence within 24 months after the Placeholder Reservation is booked on board.

Who can book a placeholder?

Anyone over the age of 18 can book up to two staterooms on one sail date per household onboard.

What is the catch?

You can not use a placeholder on blackout dates or for concierge-level bookings. Also, you currently need to call Disney to apply the placeholder to your chosen cruise. Therefore, if you are booking on opening day, you could be on the phone, on hold for hours.

Blockout dates apply; please contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent for specific block out dates. Reservations for future cruises that fall on block out dates are not eligible for the 10% savings offer. The offer cannot be combined with Florida Resident Rates, U.S. Military Rates or with any other special Rates.

Can I transfer it to my travel agent or Costco?

Yes, you have 30 days from purchasing the placeholder on the ship to transfer it to the TA of your choice if you did not name one when you purchased it.

What if I forget to book a placeholder?

I know this is the answer to question number nine, but recently Disney started a new offer for first-time cruisers. Once you disembark your first cruise, you can save up to $350 on your next one with the Castaway Club Welcome Offer . You can save up to $50 a night on the first 7 nights of your second cruise if you book it within 60 days of disembarking.

We last cruised in February 2020 before the COVID shutdown. We secured a placeholder while on board. Do you know if placeholder deadlines have been extended since cruising has not yet resumed?

As far as I know, if you book a cruise with a placeholder before it expires you can use it to book a cruise up to Fall 2022. If you have not used your placeholder and the expiry date passes DCL will refund your money.

In my Castaway Club account, my pre-COVID placeholder is listed as one of my cruises with a Jan 1, 2034 date in a GTY room.

With the placeholder to I need to cruise within 24 months or do I need to book within 24 months?

Your cruise needs to begin within 24 months.

Hi, as a very lucky cruiser in the UK we did a 3 day cruise based in the UK, whilst onboard we booked a placeholder an received a confirmation email. I have just tried to use but was informed this couldn’t be used as the option was not taken? I booked the original through a T/A and they are confused also. Disney cruise not that helpful when called, any ideas what I can do? I have checked my credit card and they have not taken payment

Hi – one additional point with the new way of booking On-Board Booking placeholders – if you use the app it will default to your credit card on file. We like to purchase ours with Disney Gift Cards (since we get those at a 5% discount from Target) and there’s no way to do that via the app. You have to go to Guest Services while on the cruise, tell them you want to purchase a placeholder with a Gift Card, and they will set up the order for Disney to follow up with you when you are back home to take the payment and give you your reservation number. It’s a very inefficient system – some folks have had to wait a considerable period of time before getting that call. I ended up calling DCL and getting it arranged when I returned home by calling them instead of waiting for them to call me. Just wanted to share my experience on this specific item. Thank you for all this wonderful info!

How do we actually apply the placeholder credit when booking? I can’t figure it out.

You need to call DCL to apply the placeholder for your booking. The $250 you paid for the placeholder will go towards your deposit.

Does the 10% discount apply to a cruise booked in the 24 months or is that only for booked cruises while on the current cruise ? Thanks, I can’t seem to figure that part out !

I am not sure what you are asking? The 10% is for any regularly priced cruise fare. The cruise must begin within 24 months of when you booked the placeholder. If your cruise starts on the July 17, 2022 and you book the placeholder on July 21, 2022. You can get the discount on ant cruise that begins by July 21, 2024. It is always a good idea to book your placeholder near the end of your trip. I hope that answers your question 🙂

Re: the Costco transfer: The 30-day countdown begins on THE DAY YOU PURCHASE THE PLACEHOLDER. You need to purchase a cruise AND transfer it to Costco within that window. If you buy the placeholder and then purchase a cruise with it more than a month later, you are SOL.

My wife and I bought a placeholder onboard the Vancouver-Hawaii cruise last April, and then later that summer, used it to buy a Northern Europe cruise for this September. The next day I called Costco to transfer it, and they couldn’t do it because the purchase date of the cruise gets listed as the purchase date of the placeholder!

Yes, you must transfer the placeholder within 30 days of purchasing it.

One placeholder ($250) will give you a 10% discount on up to two rooms on a future cruise? Or is it purchase two placeholders ($500) for use on a 10% discount on two rooms on a future cruise? 1 placeholder=1 discounted room or 1 placeholder=2 discounted rooms? Also, if two placeholders purchased they have to be used on SAME future cruise? I’m reading conflicting answers throughout various posts and not sure what is true/false

You need 1 placeholder for 1 discounted room. If you purchase two placeholders on a cruise they must be used on the same cruise. I hope that helps 🙂

Hi! My husband and I are taking our second Disney cruise in February (we got a placeholder last year). On this cruise, can we get placeholders for two cabins with one being for us and the other for my daughter and her family?

Yes you can. Each cabin can book up to two placeholders to be used on one future cruise.

If we use our placeholder for back to back shorter cruises do we get 10% discount on both cruises? Or would it just be on the first one?

No, sadly you only get the discount on one cruise.

What Is A Disney Cruise Placeholder? Plus 3 Perks To Placing One

• Cruises and Sailing
• Disney Cruises
• Types of Travel

A Disney Cruise placeholder is an incentive to book future cruises only available to passengers while they’re on a Disney Cruise. 

If sailing with Disney Cruise Line is in your future, you’ll want to be savvy about Disney Cruise placeholders (referred to by Disney as “onboard booking offers”) before setting sail. There are so many fun things to do on Disney ships that, while they’re not a secret, it’s easy to miss booking that cruise placeholder if you don’t know the opportunity exists. This guide to placeholders and the perks (and limitations) of booking one will give you all the information to help you decide whether signing up for this discount is right for you. Spoiler alert: It probably is.

If you’ve enjoyed your time aboard one of Disney Cruise Line’s five ships and can reasonably foresee another cruise within the next 2 years, booking a placeholder makes sense and gives you something to look forward to between vacations.

What’s A Disney Cruise Placeholder?

Pretty much what it sounds like. While you don’t actually book your future cruise while you’re on a Disney Cruise, you pay a deposit that sets you up for a future discount that can be used within the next 24 months. You’ll get an overall 10 percent discount on your cruise when you book it.

The deposit is $250 per stateroom, which will go toward the cost of your future cruise. If you work with a travel planner, you’ll have 30 days to transfer the booking. Disney Cruise Line will send you a confirmation email, so just forward that to your planner/agent if you use one.

Here are some perks of booking a Disney Cruise placeholder.

1. It’s Super Easy

Here’s how to do it. If you want to take advantage of the cruise placeholder, you can do it on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app (available on Google Play and the App Store ). A couple of taps is all it takes, and the credit card associated with your stateroom will be charged. You’ll be able to see the charge in your folio, along with anything else you might have charged to your stateroom while on board (like alcohol, souvenirs, spa treatments, and so on.)

If you’re tech challenged, you can look for the Future Cruise Desk on board. Disney Cruise Line has gone increasingly digital (one recent unpopular decision was to eliminate the paper Navigator that listed daily activities), and you might have a difficult time finding the Future Cruise Desk manned. We’ve seen the Future Cruise Desk on our last two Disney Cruises (both in 2022) but haven’t seen humans at that desk once. If you want to talk to a live person before booking a cruise placeholder, or just need help, go to guest services.

You can book up to two staterooms (one sail date) per household on board.

2. It Saves You Money

Disney Cruise Line’s prices are at the high end of the cruise pricing spectrum. If you’re looking for discount prices on cruises, Disney isn’t typically going to be where you look. The cruise placeholder discount is one of the few that Disney Cruise Line consistently offers.

Ten percent off your cruise might not seem like a ton, but it’s about as good of a discount as you’re going to get with Disney. The initial deposit also goes toward the cost of your future cruise. You may be required to pay an additional deposit when you actually go to book your cruise, but your cost will be reduced by $250, so the amount may not seem as daunting.

3. It Mitigates The ‘Sad Trombone’ Of Getting Off The Ship

Cruise time always seems to be at warp speed for me. I look forward to my cruise for what seems like ages, and it’s over all too quickly. Our family is always a little mopey on that last day because we don’t want our good times to come to an end. Booking the cruise placeholder gives you that little treat to look forward to and turns a goodbye into a “See you real soon.”

Guardrails And Limitations To Be Aware Of

While booking a cruise placeholder is a good deal, there are some limitations passengers need to be aware of before they start pushing buttons in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.

Don’t wait too long. The link to the placeholder in the app goes away at midnight on the last full day of the cruise, although you can check with guest services if you miss the booking window in the app.

Disney is strict with the dates. The placeholder is good for 24 months, not 24 months and 1 day. Reserve your placeholder as late in the cruise as possible (so as little as possible of your 24-month clock is ticking while you’re still on board), but don’t leave the actual booking until the last minute.

The Disney Cruise placeholder discount cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts. “The onboard booking offer (AKA placeholder) can be a great value to save on a Disney Cruise,” says Disney Cruise Travel Planner Karen Shelton . “Sadly, all concierge staterooms and suites are excluded from the discount.” If you’ve got your heart set on concierge, this discount won’t be any good to you. 

The biggest drawback to booking a cruise when you’ve reserved a placeholder is that you must call and book your cruise versus reserving online. Traditionally, travelers have experienced long hold times on opening day (the first day new cruises/routes are available to book), but cruisers have reported ordinary calls to the Disney Cruise Line call center to be extra long in 2022. You can eliminate the wait time by giving the cruise over to a travel agent (they’ll be the ones waiting on hold, not you), but you’ve only got a 30-day window to do that.

What’s The Catch?

There really isn’t one. Booking a placeholder is about as zero risk as it gets. If you don’t book a cruise within the allotted time, your deposit will be returned to you. You’ve got 2 years to find a cruise, book it, and sail, but if that doesn’t happen, you’ll get your full deposit back. Other than having $250 tied up for 2 years, there’s no risk to booking a cruise placeholder, so if you think you’re going to want to be a repeated Disney cruiser within the allotted time, booking that placeholder is probably a smart decision.

Why a Disney Cruise Placeholder is a Game-Changer

If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to make your next Disney Cruise even more magical.

But what if I told you there’s a game-changing secret that could save you money on future cruises?

Yep, you read that right! It’s called a Disney Cruise Placeholder, and trust me, you’re going to want to know all about it.

This simple yet powerful trick could be your golden ticket to incredible savings and even more Disney magic. So, let’s dive in and discover why a Disney Cruise Placeholder is a must-have for any savvy cruiser!

What is a Disney Cruise placeholder?

The placeholder starts as a piece of paper. Pick one up midship on Deck 4 at the Vacation Planning desk .

It works by telling Disney you want to sail again with them sometime within the next 24 months.

NOTE: You can only submit a placeholder while you are onboard a Disney cruise – not after your cruise ends.

Benefits of submitting a Disney Cruise placeholder

You may be wondering why you want to do this, especially if you are not sure you will be cruising within that timeframe.

There are two main benefits:

• Reduced Deposit – It only costs $250 per room to reserve (a 7-night cruise). This is less than the standard 20% that it normally costs.
• Onboard booking discount – You receive a 10% discount off the current price of your chosen stateroom, except Concierge bookings

The onboard booking bonus is a Disney Cruise hack for saving money on your next cruise.

How does the placeholder work?

On it, you fill out your name, email address, stateroom and a couple of questions regarding your current cruise.

One question asks if you want to continue to use your current travel agent. Check yes and your travel agent is sent an email with your placeholder confirmation code.

In addition, many travel agents continue to give you some type of onboard credit, although it is usually reduced (ours is by 50%) compared to the first Disney cruise you booked through them.

Reserve up to 2 rooms, listing the names and birthdates of each person traveling, or simply check the box noting it’s the same people you are currently sharing a stateroom with.

Reserving a cruise now

If you know the exact date you wish to travel for your next cruise, work with a Vacation Planner at the beginning of the cruise. Don’t wait until the end because they are a lot busier with more requests.

Once you have it set up, you are done.

Reserving a placeholder

However, if you are unsure about your next cruise date or if the dates you want to plan are not released yet, simply fill out the card.

If you are using your credit card on file to pay for the deposit, all you have to do is drop the card in the box at the vacation planning desk. However, if you would like to use a different payment method, you need to have a Vacation Planner process the payment for you.

You will get an email confirmation (and your travel agent will too if you noted you wanted to use them) to the address provided.

Travel must start within 24 months of when Disney receives your placeholder card.

Cancel at any time during these 24 months and Disney will refund your deposit. Likewise, if you do not convert your placeholder, your money will be refunded as well.

Therefore, you have nothing to lose by choosing this option.

How to convert your placeholder

If you already talked to a Disney Vacation Planner and picked your next cruise date, you are good to go.

However, if you dropped your card in the box, convert your placeholder by calling Disney Cruise Line at 800-951-3532 or by contacting your travel agent (assuming you checked the box saying you wanted to continue using this agent).

Isn’t that simple for a 10% savings on your next Disney Cruise?

Dale, Let's Travel!

Ready? Okay, vamos. Time to have fun!

Disney cruise line placeholder: what is it and why get it, if you are considering a disney cruise line adventure, you might have come across the term "placeholder reservation." but what exactly is it, and why should you consider making one let's delve into the details..

1. What is a Placeholder Reservation?

A Placeholder Reservation is essentially an open-ended reservation made exclusively onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship for a future sailing date within 24 months. It is a way to secure a spot for your next cruise without committing to a specific date or itinerary.

2. How much is a Placeholder Reservation?

To create a Placeholder Reservation, you must place a $250 deposit. 

3. Why should I book a Placeholder?

The primary incentive for reserving a placeholder is the 10% discount available on prevailing rates, as quoted on the Disney Cruise Line website, coupled with the advantage of a reduced deposit for sailings lasting 7 nights or more.

4. What if I change my mind?

Yet another compelling reason for securing a placeholder is that if you decide to cancel your placeholder or do not pick a specific sailing date by the end of the 24 months, it is fully refundable! This is game-changing in the cruise industry, as most cruise lines typically do not offer refunds for future voyage deposits if they are not utilized. However, it is essential to note that standard cancellation fees will apply once specific travel dates are chosen.

5. Can I still use my Travel Agent with a Placeholder?

Absolutely! If you wish to use your Travel Agent with your Disney Cruise Placeholder, you can request your reservation to be linked to your current agent as you create the reservation. If you do not have a travel agent, want to change your agent, or did not get the chance to link him/her previously, you have 30 days after you place your reservation to do so. Also, if you prefer utilizing Costco, you can still enlist their services seamlessly alongside your Placeholder Reservation - make sure you do this within 30 days.

6. What are the restrictions?

When considering Placeholder Reservations, it is important to note that the offer extends to a maximum of two staterooms per household for a single sail date, irrespective of the household's adult count.

Furthermore, this offer applies solely to categories 4 to 11. this means that suites and disney cruise concierge staterooms are excluded from the offer. therefore, to benefit from the placeholder reservation offer, you must opt for an inside, ocean view, or verandah cabin..

Furthermore, the cruise must commence within 24 months of booking; otherwise, the reservation will automatically be canceled. For instance, if you placed your reservation on January 22, 2024, you have until January 21, 2026, to commence your new sailing. Failure to do so will result in automatic cancellation of the reservation, and the deposit will be refunded.

This offer cannot be combined with discounts such as florida resident rates, u.s. military rates, or any other special offers. moreover, it does not extend to categories like vgt, ogt, or igt with restrictions (which are guaranteed staterooms). it is also not applicable for 2-night sailings. additionally, it is crucial to note any blackout dates, which are listed below for reference..

Onboard Offer Blackout Dates:

Disney Dream - 11/20/2023, 12/23/2023, 12/28/2023, 03/31/2024, 11/23/2024, 11/27/2024, 12/21/2024, 12/26/2024, 12/30/2024

7. How to book your Placeholder Reservation?

To secure your placeholder, access the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app while onboard and find the option labeled "10% off a future cruise." Then, indicate whether you wish to place deposits on 1 or 2 staterooms. After that, you will be on a payment page.

Should you prefer to use a different credit card than the original form of payment on file for your deposit, you can easily update your payment information within the app. in case of any difficulties, you can seek assistance from guest services, as the future cruise sales desk has been closed post-covid, and they are available to provide support., when you make a placeholder reservation, you will receive a confirmation email containing your reservation number and other pertinent details. this email serves as proof of your reservation and includes instructions on how to proceed with finalizing your booking at a later time..

Example of Savings

Let's say you just got off a Disney Cruise Ship and made a Disney Cruise Placeholder booking! Now, you want to go on the Disney Treasure, the brand-new ship that launches in December 2024, for your next Disney Cruise Line Vacation. 

Specifically, you are considering their 7-night western caribbean cruise from port canaveral itinerary sailing out in february 2025. the cost for a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) to stay in an oceanview room will be around $7,831.12 with taxes and fees of $691.12. the 10% off from your placeholder will save you $714 on your sailing , plus, the $250 deposit you made onboard will go directly toward paying a portion of your total amount due. the best part about this sailing option is that it will also provide you with a reduced deposit since it is a sailing lasting 7 nights or more..

Disney Cruise Line offers Placeholder Reservations for your future Disney Cruise, and the only way to book this special offer is while onboard your current cruise. The placeholder deposit is only $250 and gives you two fantastic incentives of 10% off your next magical Disney Cruise and a reduced deposit for sailings 7-nights or longer - all without having to book your specific cruise right then and there. If you enjoyed your time on your cruise, make sure you take advantage of this offer and book your Disney Cruise Line Placeholder!

8. I am ready to pick my sailing, now what?

If you linked a travel agent to your placeholder, you will contact them with your preferred sailing information, and they will figure it out for you. If you did not link a travel agent, once you are ready to select your cruise, you will call 1-800-939-2784 for further assistance!

Important Note to Reiterate

A Placeholder Reservation is a Disney Cruise Line Onboard Booking Offer ONLY. You cannot book a placeholder once you get back home.

Disney Cruise Placeholder – How to Save Money Updated 2024

Sharing is caring!

What is a Disney Cruise Placeholder? It is one of the best ways of saving money on a Disney cruise!

Here we show you how you can use a Disney cruise placeholder booking to save money on your next Disney cruise.

Disney Cruise Placeholder – How Will it Save You Money?

A Disney Cruise Placeholder is sometimes known as a Disney Cruise dummy booking.

This way of booking is only available to you when you are actually sailing on a Disney cruise .

There is no other way to book a Placeholder. You have to be onboard a Disney ship. Once you leave the ship it is too late.

If you book onboard a Disney cruise and book specific dates you can also get discounts and perks.

If you know when you are going to sail with Disney cruises again and you know exactly when it is a good idea to book the exact sailing that you want.

Join my Disney Cruise Group for Tips and Free Giveaways!

However, if you do not know which dates you want to book a Placeholder Disney cruise booking is something that you really need to think about.

If you book a Disney Cruise Placeholder or book the actual dates you will get a 10% discount on the current rate of the cruise.

This is obviously a big saving that can easily run into hundreds of dollars.

If you book a Placeholder you will get a reference number to prove that you have paid your $250 Placeholder deposit

In the past, you also got an Onboard Credit. You got a $200 OBC if you book 7 nights or more, and $100 OBC for 3 to 6 nights. This OBC was per stateroom.

However, Disney has now taken away that benefit.

You do not get onboard credit anymore.

How Does a Disney Cruise Placeholder Work?

You cannot use a Placeholder for a 1 or 2-night Disney Cruise.

There really aren’t many 2-night Disney cruises so this is unlikely to matter to you.

It is also not valid for Guaranteed stateroom bookings of IGT, OGT, and VGT. Those are the codes for Inside, Outside, and Verandah Guarantee staterooms.

A Guaranteed Stateroom is where you make a booking for a select category of the stateroom.

You do not pick the stateroom.

Disney will allocate you a stateroom in at least that category. And there is a small chance you may get upgraded.

The discount and reduced deposit are not valid for Concierge staterooms either.

The Placeholder also has the advantage of a reduced deposit on sailings 7 nights and longer.

The snag with a Disney Cruise Placeholder?

It can only be booked when you are onboard a Disney cruise. It is easy though.

You can easily use the Navigator App to make the Placeholder booking.

It used to be that you had to either visit the Future Cruise desk to book or fill out a form and drop it at the desk. However, since sailing restarted the Future Cruise Desk has not been offered.

Right now, due to current changes, the Future Cruise desk is closed. BUT is is very simple to book on the Navigator App when you are onboard.

Can a Disney Cruise First Timer Book a Placeholder?

This is not a benefit that you can book unless you are on the ship.

Therefore it’s not available unless you are already sailing on your first cruise.

There are other ways that everyone can get discounts on a Disney cruise.

See our guide at How To Save Money on a Disney Cruise for more ideas.

Disney Cruise Placeholder FAQ

The Disney Cruise Placeholder is valid for 2 years from the date that you booked.

So you have a good amount of time to decide on which Disney cruise you would like to sail on next.

This really is a no-risk way to get a discount on a Disney cruise. Of course, you have to pay a $250 upfront deposit, but if you change your mind within the 2-year window you get all your money back.

There are some block-out dates that cannot be used for the Placeholder 10% discount. You will still get the Onboard Credit and reduced deposit, but you will not get the Disney Cruise discount.

The block-out dates for all Placeholder and Onboard Disney Cruise booking discounts are:

Disney Wish Sailings

4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral – 11/20/2023

4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral – 11/22/2023

3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral – 12/26/2023

4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral – 12/29/2023

Disney Fantasy Sailings

7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral – 11/18/2023

7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral – 12/23/2023

7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral – 12/30/2023

Disney Magic Sailings

7-Night Mexican Riviera Cruise from San Diego – 7/18/2023

Disney Dream Sailings

5-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Fort Lauderdale – 11/20/2023

5-Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Fort Lauderdale – 12/23/2023

5-Night Bahamian Cruise from Fort Lauderdale with 2 stops at Disney Castaway Cay – 12/28/2023

You can still use a Placeholder for these but it is of no value as you forfeit the 10% discount.

You can make two Disney Cruise Placeholder bookings per stateroom.

This is in contrast to booking a specific date onboard a Disney cruise.

Then you can only book one cruise per household.

A Disney Cruise Placeholder cannot be used for Concierge staterooms or Guaranteed Stateroom bookings.

When you book a Disney Placeholder Cruise you will specify the guests who are on the booking.

However, as long as the person who made the Placeholder booking is in the finally booked stateroom, then you will still keep your discounts and onboard credit.

A Placeholder is not transferable to anyone else. The person who booked the Placeholder has to be on the final booking.

If you want to use a Travel Agent with a Disney Cruise Placeholder then you can request this on your booking when you are onboard.

If you have already used a Travel agent you can request that the same one is linked to your Placeholder.

If you have not specified a Travel Agent you can do so up to 30 days after you have booked your Placeholder.

The Disney Cruise Placeholder is one of the easiest ways to save money on a Disney cruise. You don’t need to decide which cruise you want to book yet. You have a whole 24 months to book and sail.

The savings are considerable and Onboard Credit will help in paying for gratuities, activities, or anything else that you want to purchase onboard your next Disney cruise.

If you are sailing on a Disney cruise and love it you have to book a Placeholder!

Thank you for pointing this out. The Placeholder can in fact be used on a 3 night cruise - I apologize as this was an error.

You can't use it for 1 or 2 night bookings. You can also use it for Concierge but you would only get the On Board Credit, not the reduced deposit or the discount.

Disney Cruise Placeholder Offer: How to Book and Save Money

What is a disney cruise placeholder.

The Disney Cruise Placeholder is a $250 deposit towards a future Disney cruise that you can only make onboard a DCL ship. It gives you a 10% discount off the cruise fare of a future cruise and a reduced deposit on sailings that are 7 nights or more. For the exact information, check this link out https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/guest-services/future-cruise-onboard-offer/ . It's a great way to get another magical Disney Cruise right after this one.

The placeholder is really called the Disney Cruise Line Onboard-Only offer. Many people refer to it as the placeholder because you used to have to book the actual cruise that you wanted while onboard. Calling it a placeholder doesn’t do it justice because it doesn’t hold your place for anything since you're not picking a specific date. Instead it's just an exclusive onboard booking offer.

The discount portion of the onboard-only offer does not apply tto concierge staterooms and cannot be combined with any other offer. However, in 2021 Disney had to cut our cruise short because of Covid and gave us a 25% discount on a future cruise. We were able to combine that with a placeholder and get 35% off a cruise in 2022! But unless something crazy happens, you probably won’t get a combo like that.

The onboard-only offer is available for up to two rooms for one family traveling together. This is regardless of the number of adults. In fact, you'll have to have adults in each room on your future vacation in order to book. We didn’t know this on our last cruise, so we booked two placeholders. I guess we’ll have to go on two cruises.

That’s what a placeholder or onboard-only offer is. 10% off of your next cruise. If you book one and start looking at prices, remember that you’ve already paid $250 as well. So if a cruise costs $5000, you get 10% and $250 off. The cruise will cost $4250.

How does the Disney Cruise placeholder work? Let's take a look.

How Do You Book a Disney Cruise Placeholder?

To book a placeholder or onboard-only offer, you need to be on a Disney Cruise Line ship. I suppose it goes without saying, but you need to be aboard the boat legally as one of the passengers. You can’t sneak on and get the deal. Please don’t try. Nobody wants to be bounced by the mouse.

Once aboard, Disney recommends you use the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App to book it. I know from experience you can also talk to guest services in the atrium of your ship in order to book one. You’ll have to use your credit card on file, one you brought with you, or a fat stack of cash (this only works in person. You can’t feed the cash through your phone…yet).

How to Use Your Disney Cruise Line Placeholder

In order to use it, you’ll need the confirmation number. Ours are in an email labeled DCL Onboard Booking Confirmation. When you go to book your cruise, you’ll be able to input that number to get your 10% discount.

Having a travel agency to handle all of this is amazing. Both of my placeholders are registered with my agent. All I have to do is pick a sailing date, and she’ll make the new reservation happen for the right price.

Disney Cruise Placeholder Expiration

In order to reap the benefits of the 10% discount, you need to book a cruise within 24 months of booking the onboard-only discount. But there’s good news. If you don’t end up taking a Disney Cruise within two years, the placeholder automatically cancels, and you’ll be refunded (back to the original form of payment). It would be sad to not go on another trip, but imagine forgetting about it and waking up to $250 you forgot about on your credit card statement.

Other DCL Placeholder tips

Here are few other things you should know about Disney Cruise Line placeholders or onboard-only offers.

Travel Agents

If you use a travel agent, specify that you want the onboard-only offer to be connected to your travel agent. This is easy to do if your agent did the original booking of your cruise, but if not, you’ll need to specify the name of the agent at the time booking.

If you decide later that you want to book your next Disney Cruise through an agent, you’ll need to transfer the placeholder to your agent within 30 days.

Again, use agents. They’re free, and they handle so many tedious details for cruises. Nothing better than an agent reminding you to submit your passport before you miss your deadline.

Multiple Rooms

As a reminder, the placeholder is only good for two rooms. If you need more than that, book more than one placeholder. You don’t have to use them for two separate cruises, you can use both placeholders for the same cruise. I confirmed that at guest services when I booked two. Of course, I didn’t know I could get two rooms with one, so double check when you book.

DCL Placeholder Blackout Dates

Here’s the first downside to the onboard-only offer. There are lots of blackout dates where you will not get the discount if you book a cruise. For the most part, the blackout days correspond with major holidays, Spring Break, and other important sailings like the opening of Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point or the maiden voyage of the Adventure.

However, some ships (like the Wish) have more blackout dates than others. For the exact black out dates, I’ll post this link again: https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/guest-services/future-cruise-onboard-offer/ . That link will tell you all the important details.

What Are the Downsides to a DCL Placeholder? (money, concierge)

Whenever a company tries to get you to sign up for something, it’s wise to assume that there’s a catch in the fine print. However, the downsides of signing for a placeholder are limited.

As I mentioned above, the placeholder cannot be combined with other discounts like military or guaranteed staterooms, or the amazing Disney Plus subscriber deal we took advantage of last Spring.

Second, there are blackout dates that keep you from getting the 10% discount, which correspond with the most sought after sailing dates. This means that the dates that are easiest or most fun for your family might be blacked out.

Third, you can’t use the placeholder to book a cruise in category 1-3 staterooms, which are for a concierge room. Of course, if you have the money to book concierge, you probably don’t need a 10% discount—but 10% off of a $20,000 sailing is a lot of money.

Fourth, and this should seem obvious, but you’ll be out $250 per placeholder. The good news is that if you book a cruise, that money is deducted from the total cost. The other good news is that if you decide not to use your placeholder, your money will be refunded.

Final Thoughts and Further Reading

All in all, I think the placeholder, onboard-only offer is the best way to book your next cruise unless you have special discounts by other means. If you’re onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship, and you think to yourself, “I’d like to do this again,” then booking a future sailing discount is a no-brainer, especially if you’re planning to take another Disney Cruise anyway. You should definitely take advantage of this offer for your next Disney Cruise Line vacation, so that you can sail again at a later date.

Worst case scenario is that you’re out $250 that you can get back if you don’t use it. And you don’t have to wait 2 years, you can get it back any time. This is yet one more reason why Disney is one of the best cruise lines.

Once you get on your ship, you can ask any cast member for more details.

Overview of the Disney Cruise Line Placeholder System

The Disney Cruise Line Placeholder System is a flexible and convenient way for guests to reserve future cruises while onboard a Disney cruise ship. This system allows you to secure a reservation for a future cruise without having to make all the specific decisions and details right away. With the Placeholder System, you can take advantage of onboard booking benefits and discounts, while giving yourself the flexibility to finalize your cruise at a later time.

Understanding the Disney Cruise Line Placeholder System

What is the placeholder system.

The Disney Cruise Line Placeholder System is a program that allows guests to reserve a future Disney cruise while onboard a Disney cruise ship. It allows you to secure a placeholder reservation without having to select a specific cruise date, ship, or itinerary. This gives you the opportunity to take advantage of onboard discounts and benefits, and gives you the flexibility to choose the specific details of your cruise at a later date.

Benefits of the Placeholder System

The Placeholder System offers several benefits for guests. First and foremost, it allows you to secure a future cruise reservation while onboard, taking advantage of exclusive discounts and promotions available only to those booking onboard. Additionally, it provides flexibility, as you have the freedom to modify or transfer your placeholder reservation as needed. The Placeholder System also guarantees that you will have the opportunity to book a cruise in the future, even if you’re unsure of the specific details at the time.

Booking with the Placeholder System

Making an initial reservation.

To make an initial reservation with the Placeholder System, simply visit the Disney Cruise Line desk while onboard a Disney cruise ship. The friendly and knowledgeable crew members will assist you in securing a placeholder reservation. At this stage, you do not need to select a specific cruise date, ship, or itinerary. The important thing is to secure your reservation and take advantage of the onboard benefits.

Paying the Placeholder Deposit

At the time of making the initial reservation, you will be required to pay a deposit known as the Placeholder Deposit. The Placeholder Deposit is a minimal amount that holds your reservation and allows you to take advantage of the onboard benefits. The deposit amount may vary, so it’s important to check with the crew members at the Disney Cruise Line desk for the current Placeholder Deposit amount. Rest assured, this deposit will be applied towards the cost of your future cruise.

Modifying and Transferring Placeholder Reservations

Modifying an existing reservation.

If you need to modify your placeholder reservation, such as changing the cruise date, ship, or itinerary, you have the flexibility to do so. Simply contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent and they will assist you in making the necessary changes. Keep in mind that modifying your reservation is subject to availability and any applicable fees or pricing adjustments may apply.

Transferring a Placeholder Reservation

If you are unable to use your placeholder reservation and would like to transfer it to someone else, Disney Cruise Line allows you to do so. You can transfer your placeholder reservation to another guest as long as they are eligible to book a Disney cruise. Contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent for further details and assistance in transferring your reservation.

Expiration and Refunds

Understanding placeholder expiration.

Placeholder reservations have an expiration date, and it’s important to be aware of this to ensure you don’t lose the benefits of your reservation. The expiration date can vary, so it’s crucial to check the terms and conditions specific to your reservation. Typically, you have a certain timeframe, usually around 24 months, to book and sail on your future cruise before your placeholder reservation expires.

Refunds and Cancellations

If you decide not to use your placeholder reservation or are unable to book a future cruise within the allotted timeframe, you may be eligible for a refund. However, it’s important to note that cancellation policies and refund eligibility can vary, so it’s best to review the terms and conditions of your reservation or contact Disney Cruise Line directly for specific details regarding refunds and cancellations.

Using a Placeholder for Future Cruises

Applying the placeholder deposit to a future cruise.

When you’re ready to book a specific cruise, you can apply the Placeholder Deposit you paid towards the cost of your future cruise. This deposit will be deducted from the total cruise fare, making it a valuable discount. Be sure to inform the Disney Cruise Line representative or your travel agent about your placeholder reservation when making your booking to ensure the deposit is properly applied.

Booking Onboard with a Placeholder

One of the biggest advantages of the Placeholder System is the ability to book onboard and take advantage of exclusive discounts and promotions. When you’re ready to book your future cruise while onboard, simply visit the Disney Cruise Line desk or contact them via phone or email. The crew members will assist you in finalizing your booking, ensuring you receive all the benefits associated with your placeholder reservation.

Finalizing the Booking

Once you have chosen your specific cruise details, such as the cruise date, ship, and itinerary, it’s time to finalize your booking. Provide all the necessary information and complete the booking process with Disney Cruise Line. Make sure to review all the terms and conditions, including cancellation policies and payment deadlines, so you are well-informed about your reservation.

Combining Placeholder and Regular Reservations

Booking multiple cruises with a placeholder.

If you are a frequent cruiser or have multiple future cruise plans in mind, the Placeholder System allows you to book multiple cruises at once. You can secure multiple placeholder reservations and then choose the specific details for each cruise later. This gives you the flexibility to plan ahead and take advantage of onboard discounts and promotions for all your future cruises.

Managing Multiple Reservations

Managing multiple reservations can be made easier by keeping track of important dates and details. Keep a record of the expiration date, booking deadlines, and payment schedules for each reservation. Additionally, stay in touch with Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent to ensure any modifications or changes required for each reservation are taken care of.

Tips and Tricks for Using the Placeholder System

Planning ahead.

To make the most of the Placeholder System, it’s advisable to plan ahead. Research different cruise itineraries, ships, and dates that interest you, so you have an idea of what you’re looking for when you book your future cruise. This will make the process smoother and ensure you don’t miss out on any limited-time offers or promotions.

Being Flexible with Cruise Selection

While it’s important to have an idea of what you want in a future cruise, it’s also helpful to be flexible when it comes to selecting the specific details. By remaining open to different cruise dates, ships, and itineraries, you will have a higher chance of finding the best deals and availability. This flexibility allows you to take advantage of any flash sales or last-minute discounts that may arise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the cost of a placeholder deposit.

The cost of the Placeholder Deposit can vary, so it’s important to check with the Disney Cruise Line representative or your travel agent for the current amount. Typically, the deposit is a minimal amount that secures your reservation and is applied towards the cost of your future cruise.

Is a Placeholder Deposit refundable?

In most cases, the Placeholder Deposit is refundable if you are unable to use it or book a future cruise within the specified timeframe. However, it’s important to review the terms and conditions of your reservation or contact Disney Cruise Line directly for specific details regarding refunds.

Can I transfer a Placeholder to someone else?

Yes, you can transfer your placeholder reservation to another guest. However, they must be eligible to book a Disney cruise. Contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent for more information and assistance in transferring your reservation.

How long can I hold a Placeholder for?

The duration of holding a placeholder reservation can vary. Generally, you have around 24 months to book and sail on your future cruise before your reservation expires. It’s crucial to check the specific expiration date and terms and conditions of your reservation to ensure you don’t lose the benefits.

Can I combine a Placeholder with other discounts or promotions?

The ability to combine a Placeholder with other discounts or promotions depends on the specific terms and conditions of each offer. It’s recommended to review the details of each discount or promotion, and if in doubt, contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent for clarification.

The Disney Cruise Line Placeholder System is a valuable tool for guests looking to secure future cruise reservations while onboard a Disney cruise ship. It offers flexibility, exclusive discounts, and the opportunity to plan ahead. By understanding the ins and outs of the Placeholder System, you can take advantage of its benefits and make the most of your Disney cruise experience. Happy cruising!

What is a disney cruise placeholder.

First off let us start with what exactly is a Disney Cruise placeholder. This is something you can do while you are sailing on your vacation with Disney Cruiseline. It is essentially booking a “dummy cruise” spot to come back on another cruise within 24 months with special discounts and perks. By booking a Disney placeholder cruise you save at 10% off the prevailing rates. By getting a placeholder on sailings of 7-nights or longer you will also get your deposit reduced. 

This is helpful since the earlier you book the cheaper the sailing rates are, the rates do go up as the sailing gets closer. 

Note : As of September 28, 2019, Disney Cruiseline is no longer giving out up to $200 stateroom credits for Placeholder Cruises.

What Does a Placeholder Cruise Cost?

For each cabin, the placeholder requires a deposit of $250. The plus is that your deposit is fully refundable at any time. So if you have an inkling you would like to sail again I would jump on this special discount. 

How to Book a Disney Placeholder Cruise

When onboard your sailing lookout for the Disney Planning location. Here they will have the paperwork you need to fill out to reserve your placeholder cruise. If waiting in line at the planning center doesn’t sound appealing how about booking on your phone? The Disney Cruiseline app has updated to now allow you to book your placeholder right from the app while on the ship. 

Remember, the rules are very strict with this discount. It must be done onboard the ship. You can not book a placeholder cruise once you have returned home from your vacation. 

Why Book a Disney Cruiseline Placeholder?

The real main advantage of booking this is to save money. Plus there is no drawback to you since the deposit is 100% refundable. 

Blockout Dates for Disney Cruise Placeholders in 2020 

Of course with all good things comes the exceptions to the rule. There are select sailing through the year to you will not  receive the 10% discount. If you decide to move your existing onboard booking to a blocked out date, you keep the onboard credit but will lose the discount.

Can You Combine the Placeholder Discounts with Other Discounts?

Unfortunately, this deal cannot be stacked with other deals that Disney Cruiseline offers. This includes Florida resident discounts, military rates, inside guarantee, oceanview guarantee, and verandah guarantee. If you book a placeholder and end up wanting to take one of the previously mentioned discounts don’t worry you can still get the deposit refunded back to you.

I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old.

Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!

Placeholders & Onboard Bookings

Disney cruising onboard booking and placeholder tips.

Is there much worse than having to leave such a magical ship? Many who neglect or simply forget to take advantage of an On-Board Booking or Placeholder typically find their way to the Disney Cruising Group Facebook page soon after debarkation and share their regrets. Don’t be that person – read up!

Do your research at home so that you are ready to choose specific dates and itineraries when you book onboard. If you are unsure of your future sail date, just book a placeholder cruise. The onboard booking agents are very familiar with this process. Also contact your travel agent if you have questions.

Go to the Future Cruise Desk on Deck Four on the first night of your cruise. The line for onboard booking can get long toward the end of the sailing and if you make any changes to your reservation, it is easier to do on the ship. Bring something to read while you wait, or use the drop box to request your booking (more on this below).

Get a written reservation confirmation showing that your deposit has been paid before you disembark. If you use a travel agent, make sure they are listed on the reservation.

Use the drop box for onboard booking forms at the Future Cruise Desk and skip waiting in line.

Onboard booking allows you to book up to 2 staterooms on ONE future sail date. Name changes to the reservation may be made so long as one adult on the original booking remains on the reservation. Even if you intend to sail concierge, use onboard booking. While you don’t receive the discount on concierge level rooms, you do receive the onboard credit. Plus, if you have to downgrade when you return home to a non-concierge category the 10% onboard discount would then apply to your non-concierge category. Your concierge deposit is non-refundable.

Why is this important? Booking on ship comes with more than just beautiful surroundings. The perks are big!

Cruises of 7 nights or longer receive a 10% discount, a 10% deposit Cruises less than 7 nights receive a 10% discount, 20% deposit

Save on a future Disney Cruise Line vacation by taking advantage of our special onboard-only booking offer. When you do, you’ll enjoy the following:

• 10% Discount off Prevailing Rates

Disney Cruise Line Onboard Credit How to

Last Updated on February 23, 2022

Disney Cruise Onboard Credit is basically free money that you get to spend during the course of your cruise vacation. We explain how it works.

What is Disney Cruise Onboard Credit?

Onboard credit, also known as Shipboard credit, is an amount of money placed on your room’s account for onboard purchases during the current vacation.

There are many ways to get onboard credit and even more ways to spend them.

How can onboard credit be used?

Ways to use Onboard Credit

• Alcoholic beverages
• Gratuity (given at your discretion)
• Port Adventures booked through Disney Cruise Line
• At shipboard spa and salons
• Adult Exclusive Dining
• Gift shop purchases
• Photo Purchase
• Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
• Some room service items, specialty ice cream shops on the Dream & Fantasy, specialty coffee shop, smoothies, popcorn
• Anything else that would be charged to your stateroom

Ways to Get Disney Cruise Onboard Credit

Once upon a time, Disney used to offer Placeholder discounts of 10% on your next cruise booking, plus $100 onboard credit. Since September 2019, Disney Cruise Line has removed onboard credit as a sales incentive.

This is a good thing. Your Placeholder credit wasn’t stackable with the amazing deals a travel agent could get you. Now you can have your cake and eat it too.

Onboard Credit from Disney Travel Agencies

As a sales incentive, many Disney Authorized Travel Agencies will offer onboard credit when booking with them. Use a Travel Agent That Offers an Onboard Credit

The amount of shipboard credit you receive depends on the total cost of your Disney cruise. In other words, the more you spend, the higher the dollar amount of onboard credit you will likely receive.

We book all of our cruises through a travel agent.  You can read my post about the  pros and cons of using a travel agent here . 

Best Disney Travel Agencies for Onboard Credit

While many Travel Agencies are capable of planning an amazing Disney Cruise vacation for your family, Disney only allows the best of the best to be categorized as Earmarked, meaning they have been authenticated by Disney and are Authorized Disney Vacation Planners.

How to book with a Disney Travel Agency and retain your Placeholder discount

Since we just mentioned that you can have both your placeholder discount and Travel Agency incentive, here is how all that works.

When you visit the Rebooking desk, you will be asked if you have a Travel Agent. You either have one that booked your current cruise or perhaps you are still on the fence about which agency is the best to work with. Either way, you are welcome to fill this part out or leave it blank.

At any point in the next 30 days , and Disney is strict about their 30-day policy, you can have your preferred Travel Agent generate a transfer form. Fill this out and the booking “magically” transfers from Disney (or another agency) to your new Travel Agent. The only catch; is your cruise can’t be paid in full. That’s it.

Your Travel Agent will then be able to apply all character experiences and port excursions to your account, as well as arrange for your OnBoard Credit to be applied when you board the ship.

TMSM Explains: Disney Cruise Line Placeholders

One of the worst things about a Disney Resort or Disney Cruise Line vacation is having to return home when it is over. One of the positives to that sadness is Disney likes to offer you a way to return with special offers you can only book while on vacations. In the past we have “TMSM Explained” Walt Disney World’s  bounce back  offer. Tonight we are going to explain Disney Cruise Line’s future cruise placeholder and future cruise booking special.

How it Works While on the ship you have two options when it comes to booking a future cruise, both of these options can be done at the ship’s “Future Cruise Desk.” The first is rather simple, you pick the date you want from the already published schedule and place a deposit it on it. When you select your date you will get 10% off the final cruise price (there are some blackouts and Concierge is excluded) and an onboard credit of $100 on 6 of less night cruises or $200 on 7+ night cruises that will appear in your account on the future sailing you have booked. You also will only pay a 10% deposit on 7+ nightlong cruises. Households may only book one future cruise on the ship.

The option for future cruising that seems to confuse people though is the placeholder, possibly because this option is exclusive to Disney Cruise Line. There is also a lot of misinformation floating around on this option so I called Disney Cruise Line personally to confirm how the placeholder works as well as to double check a few pieces of information that people tend to go back and forth about in forums.

A placeholder is a deposit that holds the special perks of booking a future cruise without making you pick a set date at the time of booking. When you book a placeholder you have 24 months from the date the reservation is booked to complete the cruise you select. You can use the placeholder past the 24-month time frame, but you wouldn’t get the onboard credit and discounted deposit option.

Why is this a great option?  At the most Disney Cruise Line’s schedule is only open 18 months in advance, and that is right when new schedule dates have been released. Also when you book your placeholder you will get a 10% discount on the final cruise fare you end up booking, this does not apply to Concierge bookings. You also will pay a reduced deposit (10% instead of 20%) for 7+ night cruises. And let’s not forget the onboard credit I mentioned earlier. The OBC amount varies as it is based on length of sailing booked using the placeholder, 3-6 night cruises receive a $100 OBC, 7+ night cruises receive a $200 OBC.

Things to remember about placeholders:

• The person on placeholder must be on the reservation being made.
• There can be up to 2 placeholders per household booked.
• If there are two couples are in a cabin (i.e. two households are represented) each household can book up to two future staterooms placeholders.
• Placeholders are nontransferable.
• A household can only book a future cruise OR a placeholder on board, you cannot do both.
• If you realize you won’t be cruising again after booking a placeholder, Disney will refund 100% of your payment for any placeholder, unless it’s for a concierge room as these are non refundable.
• Certain sailing dates are considered block-out dates see your booking form for information.
• Name changes may by made on the reservation so long as 1 adult on the original booking remains on the reservation.
• Discounts and OBC from placeholders are not valid on 1 or 2 night cruises.
• You can not STACK a Placeholder deal so there is no discount, lower deposit, or OBC option if you book a Restricted Guarantees cruise (i.e. don’t waste a Placeholder on a IGT, OGT or VGT booking)
• If you are using a TA, make sure you have their agency’s IATA or CLIA number with you and give it to the Future Cruise Booking Desk if you want to use them for a future cruise.

Updated Disney Cruise Navigator App Adds in-App Onboard Placeholder Booking

The latest version of the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app added the ability to reserve a placeholder for a future Disney cruise on the ship and take advantage of special savings.

The new feature in the navigator app will surely help to reduce the line (and the Cast Member workload) at the rebooking desk, as guests simply looking to purchase a placeholder voucher for a future cruise can now skip the line altogether and purchase via the app. Details on the actual process are not included in the update’s notes. At this time it is unclear what the process would be if you want to use a gift card, or another credit card from the one you have associated with your onboard account. We’d love to hear how the process works in the comments below since we will not have a chance to try it until early next year.

The updated Disney Cruise Navigator app version 3.3.0 is available from the Apple’s App Store and Google Play store .

This was announced by staff on board previously. It should work for the simple case “card on file + simple placeholder” I was told.

Hopefully it copies over all the TA info from your current booking…

I doubt it will. You most likely will have to get a form from your TA, sign it and send it back in 30 days or less after booking to have it transferred.

Just learned today from a client who booked 2 placeholds that they were able to check off “stay with current travel professional”.

Not working on the fantasy today. Just a “join the queue” function.

Disney Wonder future cruise desk said last night that won’t be active on Wonder until the 29th. He also said it would have option to add TA.

Its sucks they took away the onboard credit.

I saw the line get up to 40 people. I heard it gets higher. This might help if it works. However a lot of people don’t like the app.

App is not compatible with LASTPASS. Won’t allow username/password to be filled in automatically.

10 Questions About Rebooking Onboard a Disney Cruise

Saving money on a Disney cruise is always a good thing, right? Did you know you can save money on a future Disney cruise by booking your next Disney cruise while onboard? Well, you can! All you have to do is go to Future Cruise Sales Desk onboard, or talk to the concierge team if you are sailing concierge, and either fill out a form to drop off, or sit down to talk and make plans with the cast member at the desk. The deposit amount will be charged to your method of payment on file for your cruise. Does that answer all of your questions? Of course not. So let’s try more information below.

Update – Disney has recently changed their policy for onboard bookings.  The onboard credit is no longer included as a benefit for rebookings for anything besides concierge categories.  Disney Cruise Line Blog has the updated policy .

2. If I Don’t Know What I Want to Book, Can I Rebook Onboard? – Absolutely! If you don’t have a date in mind, or if Disney hasn’t released your preferred sail date yet, you can book what’s called a Placeholder. A Placeholder is a flat $250 and basically reserves your discount. Once you decide what sail date you want to use it for, you’ll move the Placeholder to the correct date and pay the additional deposit, if any, that is due.

3. Do the Rebooking Onboard Benefits Expire? – They do. You must use your onboard booking within two years. Your new sailing must begin within 24 months of the exact day it is booked. No exceptions. If you do not use it, 24 months after your Placeholder is booked, your $250 will automatically be refunded to the original form of payment. If you have a specific date booked and you change it to a date outside of that 24 month window, it will not automatically cancel, but you will not receive any of the benefits.

4. What if I Change My Mind On Sail Dates or Even Sailing Again? – No harm no foul. You can move it as many times as you like, as long as you stick within that 24-month window. If you decide a cruise is not in your plans in the next two years after all, the onboard booking (with the exception of concierge) is fully refundable.

6. Do the Rebooking Onboard Benefits Work on All Itineraries? – They do not. There are some block-out dates where the 10% off and reduced deposit will not apply. You will still get the onboard credit and reduced deposit if applicable. Scott Sanders keeps a good list of which sailings are blocked out on his site. Rebooking onboard benefits also do not apply to two-night sailings.

7. Can I Book for Friends? – Kind of! Each household sailing can book two staterooms on a future sailing. Not each adult, but each household, meaning Dad and Mom in the same room can still only book two staterooms. Both staterooms must be on the same sailing, but you can put anyone you like in the second stateroom. They do not have to be onboard at the time of booking. One name from the time of booking must always stay in each of the staterooms, so if you are a family of two adults, I’d recommend booking one adult in each stateroom. Then if your friends change their mind, you can take someone else! Once you are onboard you can move everyone to the stateroom that everyone will actually be sleeping in.

8. Can I Still Use My Travel Agent With An Onboard Booking? – You can! If you are currently booked with a travel agent, you can request that the new booking remain with that travel agent. If you would like to change agents or didn’t use one the first time, you can transfer the onboard booking to a travel agent within 30 days of booking. Your travel agent will have a form for you to fill out. Disney is very, very strict on that 30 days, so don’t delay! FYI, when a guest rebooks onboard, Disney reduces the amount of commission that is paid to travel agencies who have reached a certain level of sales for Disney Cruise Line. You read that correctly, the agencies that sell the most cruises for Disney are the ones that are penalized when a guest rebooks onboard. Don’t even get me started… Why does this matter to you? If you use a travel agent who offers agency onboard credits, because of the reduced commission, they will usually reduce their onboard credit for onboard bookings. Also of note, if you want to book a concierge stateroom and are hoping to get an agency onboard credit, you may want to forgo the onboard booking. Often the extra agency onboard credit will make up for the loss of the onboard credit from Disney, the only benefit concierge gets when rebooking onboard.

10. If New Itineraries Come Out, Should I Wait and Rebook Onboard? – My answer is no to this one. When you know what you want, go ahead and book it. New itineraries in particular, can jump in price quickly. When you rebook onboard you are getting the 10% discount off the current fare. If the price has gone up more than 10% (plus the onboard credit), you have lost your savings. It’s also possible the category or stateroom you are interested in could be gone if you wait, costing you more in the long run if you have to book up a category. On the other hand, if you’ve booked already, and the price hasn’t gone up that amount, you can “reshop” (or rebook the exact same thing) onboard, and cancel the old booking when you get home. Disney or your travel agent will make sure the original deposit is credited towards the new cruise or refunded, and will even make sure you keep your original stateroom if you so desire.

Do you get 10% off if you book an Adventures by Disney trip while aboard a Disney Cruise? Or does the discount just apply to booking a Disney Cruise?

Currently you do not! That could change again one day though!

Hi! We have one we have to use by Jan. 2022. Do you know if Disney will be extending these dates because of COVID? Worst case scenario is that we get our refund back, but it would be nice to have the 10% off!

Hi Paige! They have extended them through the summer of 2022. You just need to apply it to a date before it expires! 🙂

This is great news! Time to start looking at spring/summer 2022 dates. Thank you!

Happy searching!

Hi my travel Agent didn’t give me a handicap room but I need one cause I have a scooter isot to late to change the room I haven’t paid in full yet..

Hi Heather! If there is availability, it’s never too late to change!

Hi! I recently used a placeholder to book a cruise for my husband and I, but now am thinking I would like to switch to a different itinerary and bring our two children along. I had originally listed all four of us on the placeholder for one stateroom but then only booked with my husband and myself on the reservation. Can I still switch it to include all four of us? Thanks!

Can I book a placeholder on board using a combination of DVC points and cash and still receive all the discounts and credits?

Hi Dennis! You can book a placeholder onboard, or call member services within 7 days of getting off the ship to book a date.

My question is about placeholders (future cruise date unknown) vs. onboard booking (for a specific known cruise date). My husband and I are sailing the end of the year, will we both have the option to put down a placeholder for a future cruise? So do we receive 2 separate placeholders? Can we each use our respective placeholder on separate cruise dates? Or must we use our 2 separate placeholders on the exact same cruise-together? The posters all say “Two place holders can be booked per household” but it doesn’t say whether they have to be on the same cruise. But my FB forum says that they MUST be used together on the same cruise. I’m so confused.

Hi Lisa! You can both book a placeholder, but they must be used on the same future cruise. The rules are the same for placeholders, and onboard bookings of specific dates.

Tammy, this article was very helpful. Thanks! This might be some of the ‘facebook confusion’ about back-to-back cruises that Melenie was alluding to above, as my question might be slightly different from hers:

I’m under the impression that if my wife and I are on a cruise in 1 room, that we cannot book a future back-to-back (say, both being 12 months in the future) and get the OBC and 10% discount on BOTH cruises.

I’m glad it helped, Bill!

That is correct. You could book two rooms on the same cruise and get the benefits for both rooms, but you can not get benefits on two separate cruises!

Does the $250 come off of the deposit or the overall total of the cruise? So if my regular deposit is 1200 would it be 950?

It comes off of the new deposit! So your example is correct!

I’m cruising this summer with my husband and kids. Can I book two rooms on a future cruise if my husband is not going? Other room would be for a friends family. You mentioned an adult from current cruise should be booked in each room which would not be possible in my case.

My answer is – possibly. I’ve had some onboard agents let me put someone else in a room if I knew who I was sailing with, no problem. I’ve had others insist that I have one adult in each room. So sit down with them and see what they say. Then let us know! I think you’ll be okay!

Will do! Thanks for help!

Good luck! 🙂

What if you’re n a cruise and decide you want to stay onboard and do a back to back? Can you book that?

If there was availability you could!

Thanks for the response! The prevailing opinion on Facebook is that this is not allowed. Very helpful!

It’s possible they would tell you that it’s too late to book with the onboard booking discount, but I’ve been offered space on the next sailing before. And the savings was more than an onboard booking discount would have been. 🙂

Thanks for the info! I have a question: We are a family a 5, booked into two adjoining staterooms with one adult booked in each room. Does that mean we can rebook two rooms, or four? The only other advice I would give is to remind people that the line at the Future Cruise Sales Desk gets really long on the last night of the cruise.

Technically because you are in the same household, you’ll only be able to book two staterooms, which is a little crazy to me. It doesn’t hurt to ask onboard though!

Very true about the lines! Don’t wait until the end of the cruise!

Placeholder questions... (New question added5/2)

OK, while I HATE that they took away the ability to book a specific date cruise while you're on board and defaulted to the generic placeholder, I'm thinking I'll get one when I'm on my Wish cruise in August. I've only ever done the onboard booking to actually book a specific cruise, so I'm not positive how these future cruise certificates work (I also don't get why they're called placeholders because they are NOT holding a place. But that's neither here nor there.) I know they are $250. Do they give you any discount when you book a cruise? Or just the fact that you've already paid $250 towards your deposit. I'm pretty sure you can't apply them to a cruise already booked, but you could rebook that cruise using the future certificate, right? I'm not super picky about the cabin - I'm more about the cruise than the cabin. Anything else I need to know about them? Thanks!  

Yes! 10% discount. Probably with limitations on that. Like cannot be applied with other discounts edit: eg, guarantee with restrictions and others. You can cancel a booking you already have (following regular cancellation penalties - I sound like fine print, here). Especially as you are not set on a specific cabin. If you are on a 7-N or longer cruise, your required deposit is reduced. (Leaves some money in the bank until PIF date). There are black-out dates. I don’t know if it will work in the Treasure. You can get your $250 deposit back before the 24-month expiration date. Just ask for it. If you haven’t sailed in the 24 months after purchasing the deposit, you get your money back. If you even think about cruising again, it’s a nice way to save some money. Obviously, you are.

One thing to know about them is that to book your cruise once you pick it, you have to pick up the phone. Seems antiquated in this day and age. So you secure it on the app while on board and then they email you a reservation #. That will be the number you give the person on the phone and it stays your reservation # for the cruise.

We sailed in two staterooms in 2019 (family of 5) and booked two placeholders each, two in DH's name and two in mine. We ended up booking all four on the same cruise in 2022 but I got the feeling I could definitely have used them on two separate cruises. The rules are a bit odd.

One more question... Are you able to use a Disney Gift Card for the payment on the "placeholder"? Or does it need to be a credit card? And can if be a different card than the one you have on file (assuming you have one on file - I often leave mine as cash and put money from a gift card on the account to cover things)? I'd prefer to have that deposit money separate from my general checking account, and the easiest way to do that would be put it on a Disney Gift Card. Or barring that put it on a Visa Gift Card. (Yet another reason I don't like this new system. When I could book a specific cruise with a person I was able to use a Disney Gift Card and it was so simple.)

CastawayCayLover said: I assume you can use a gift card, they just prohibit charging it to your state room account. Assuming they do allow it, you'll need to hang on to the gift card. In the event you're unable to use the placeholder, the refund will go back to the original form of payment. Click to expand...

According to Baxter on chat I can use a Disney Gift Card once on board.

Everything to Know Before You Drop Into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World

by Lori Besig , Senior Manager, Communications, Walt Disney World Resort

Let the good times roll, Tiana has sent the invites out for her big Mardi Gras celebration! While the princess and her fun-loving friend Louis are finishing up details on the party down in the bayou, you are probably wondering what to wear, what to bring, and how you should prepare for an exhilarating musical adventure that crescendos with a 50-foot drop right before the grandest celebration this side of the Mississippi.  

Well, don’t fret because I’ve got a few helpful things you need to know before riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when the attraction opens on June 28. 

Tips on How to Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

1. drop on in -to virtual queue….

When Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on June 28, it will use a virtual queue. Guests can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at one of two times: 7 a.m. or 1 p.m. While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, we expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening.  

Visit disneyworld.com/virtualqueue for more details about how virtual queues at Disney World work and what you need to know before visiting Magic Kingdom .  

2. … or use Disney Genie+ service.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will also be included as a Lightning Lane entrance in Disney Genie+ service*. Purchasing this service on the My Disney Experience app helps you get to some of your favorite attractions faster through Lightning Lane entrances and includes digital downloads of select Disney PhotoPass attraction photos taken in the park on the day of your purchase at no additional charge. Guests may check the app on the day of their visit for pricing and availability. 

Visit disneyworld.com/lightninglane for more details.    

3. Smile for the camera!

No party is complete without pictures. As you make your way through the bayou to get to Tiana’s party, Disney PhotoPass Service will serve up a special photo when you’re almost there.   

Want to download this attraction photo and your other magical moments? Try Memory Maker – with this all-inclusive photo package, you can download all of your Disney PhotoPass photos taken during your vacation. 

Learn more about the other photos Disney PhotoPass Service captures of you at 175+ locations at disneyworld.com/memorymaker .**  

4. Be prepared to get wet!

At some point when you drop on in to Tiana’s party, there’s a strong chance riders may get wet. While most guests will appreciate the refreshing cool down, others may want to bring their rain gear.  

Didn’t bring any? No worries. There are plenty of places to find ponchos in Magic Kingdom. 

Celebrate Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening across Magic Kingdom 

5. shop new attraction merchandise.

After riding the new attraction, we can bet you’ll want to take a piece of the bayou home with you.  

Starting June 28, you can find the collections for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “The Princess and the Frog”-inspired merchandise at the Emporium at Magic Kingdom. And, shortly after the attraction debuts, the merchandise will hop over to Critter Co-Op in Frontierland.   

Additional details about the various merchandise collections will be shared on the Disney Parks Blog soon.   

6. Try some of Tiana’s Famous Beignets!

A trip to the bayou is never complete without some good eats and sweet treats. Among the food and beverage offerings we look forward to sharing soon will be Tiana’s Famous Beignets, of course.  

Beginning opening day, Golden Oak Outpost and The Friar’s Nook will be serving up these light, sweet and fluffy beignets drizzled with honey and powdered sugar. These will be available for a limited time only so let the good times roll. Check back to Disney Parks Blog and @DisneyEats for all the delicious details celebrating Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. 

7. Hungry for more about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?

If you’re craving more details about the fun attraction, visit the Everything Tiana page on the Disney Parks Blog: 

• Learn more about the New Orleans artisans who shared their talents to bring authenticity to life 
• Meet the award-winning musicians helping guests boogie on down the bayou

**Disney PhotoPass Service and Memory Maker are subject to the applicable terms and policies .

Destinations: Walt Disney World Resort , Magic Kingdom

Topics: Tiana

Will the beignets in Magic Kingdom have a gluten-free option like Port Orleans? 🤞

Will Tiana’s be open on “Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween” nights?

I’m amazed anyone thinks the DVC preview is a “debacle” as if several resorts are not booked up with DVC members during this time. I would like to thank Disney for the way this was rolled out. I thought my family would be unable to participate because our trip ends before the opening, but due to the preview and restricting to those of us that had trips planned long ago, we will have the best time ever. I didn’t think I would ever be able to take advantage of the DVC benefits.

I would love to know how you plan on explaining the debacle that is the sign up for DVC Members. You’re telling us that we needed to have hotel reservations booked prior to May 12th, the day the attraction opening date was announced, and two days prior to giving concrete dates as well as the May 12th requirement, or four days AFTER the deadline. This is less of a DVC Preview and more of a little soirée for those privy to insider information. How will this be rectified because I know there are hundreds of other members wondering the same thing.

Will there be a DVC preview day?

Will rider switch be offered?

Will there be anything special that weekend going on at Port Orleans for Tiana’s big celebration?

Will Tiana’s be open to ride during deluxe resort extra hours at night (of course after the ride officially opens) and if so, will those guests have another opportunity to get on the virtual queue like the other VQ rides?

Will Tiana’s be open during deluxe resort extra hours at night and if so will there be another virtual queue opportunity, like the other virtual queue rides?

Since this will be a VQ, will guests be able to get both Tron and Tiana at the same time? Or will they be able to get one in the morning and try for the other in the afternoon?

Will Tron still have a virtual queue on opening days of Tiana’s? If so, can you only get one at a time?

Any idea if they will also have the allergy friendly Beignets too like they do at French quarter?

Can’t wait to ride this when it opens 💚

Things To Do

Subscriber only, travel | new cruise line dining experiences make you forget you’re on a cruise.

A recent trend, though, has seen cruise lines investing in designs meant to transport the diner away from the vessel.

One of the newest ventures is sticking them on a train. Royal Railway – Utopia Station is a featured restaurant coming on board Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas when it debuts this summer in Port Canaveral.

Cruisers will climb aboard a simulated train to experience what traveling on a dining car is like, complete with passing different countryside scenes projected on digital screens.

The first sailings will be limited to an adventure themed to the America’s Wild West for a 90-minute trip that mimics the sights, sounds and feel of a moving train car. Other themes in the works are based on the Silk Route trains that traveled through Asia and 30-minute offerings.

Diners start with pre-dinner drinks on a station platform, and when the train whistle sounds, board the dining car where a cast of performers play out an interactive storyline involving outlaws attempting a train robbery. Royal Caribbean put on a sample version of the experience at its Miami headquarters on Thursday.

The menu leans into ingredients from New Mexico and California. Hard drinks are thematic to the Old West (think pisco sour) as is the soft drink of sarsaparilla served in a flask. Entrees include river trout, braised short ribs and quail-esque roasted poussin. Appetizers include corn chowder, an empanada trio and “Fart & Dart Baked Beans.”

A little juvenile humor does make its way into the performance, as do some dad jokes and over-the-kids-heads jokes.

“It’s like a caricature. It’s good old-fashioned fun,” said Royal Caribbean President Michael Bayley, but he said the performances and approach may depend on when cruisers are seated.

“In the afternoon into the early evening, it will be more kid-immersive. As you move later on into the evening, it will be more sophisticated,” he said.

The main draw to the experience are the continuous digital screen projections that include frontier towns and desert and mountain landscapes that could be right out of an Albert Bierstadt painting.

The final product resolution will be in 4K, but even the test run’s digital renderings were impressive, minus the few hiccups like a horse floating over the cliff.

Royal Caribbean’s chief product innovation officer Jay Schneider said relying on computer-generated video proved to be the better choice over real landscape videos,  although teams did visit actual railways in the West for inspiration.

“Now we can flip a switch and make this winter and make this nighttime,” he said. “That definitely kind of unlocked a lot of possibilities.”

There’s also the $200, three-hour-plus dining experience at the 38-seat venue Empire Supper Club that debuted on the world’s largest cruise ship Icon of the Seas that began sailing from Miami in January.

It transports diners to the roaring ’20s of New York City amid an eight-course meal with each course paired with a unique cocktail.

Diners enjoy music from the American Standards Trio with a vocalist, piano and stand-up bass.

The details such as the rotary phones in the lobby and the uniformed waiters and hostess wearing a sultry dinner gown add to the ambience. The menu delves into some not-so-common options such as oysters Rockefeller and a leg and loin duo of rabbit. More traditional fare is offered, too, including steak, seabass and Caesar salad.

The cocktail pairing approach means no wine, and that’s OK for the venue, said Linken D’Souza, vice president of food and beverage for Royal Caribbean International.

“We went through many iterations of the cocktails to make sure that they’re well balanced. … They paired exceptionally well with the food,” he said. “So that’s not E for everyone. And that’s OK. It’s just a unique niche experience that we want people to really be adventurous.”

Royal isn’t the first to venture down the thematic dining road, which has in some ways been dabbled with over the years, including dinner theater in-the-round venues on some Norwegian Cruise Line ships such as the short-lived magic-themed Illusionarium on Norwegian Getaway and the celebration of 1980s teen films from John Hughes on Norwegian Escape.

And Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining has always served up a variety of thematic overlays. Its newest ships, though, have taken it to the next level.

That includes the Worlds of Marvel dining venue on both its latest ship Disney Wish, and its upcoming Disney Treasure debuting this December, both sailing out of Port Canaveral. Disney Wish also debuted Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, a vast food hall that expanded on similar approaches to dining themed to “Tangled” and “Princess & the Frog” on older ships Disney Magic and Wonder.

For Disney Treasure, the line is shelving “Frozen” in favor of the Disney-Pixar film “Coco.” The new overlay will feature a five-course meal with a modern take on traditional Mexican fare.

It will feature live performers telling the story of Miguel and his familia being offered up with different-themed seatings per voyage, as it’s tied to a seven-night sailing. The first night takes diners to Mariachi Plaza with Miguel’s parents Enrique and Luisa as well as Abuelita Elena. The second night takes diners to the town square in Santa Cecilia through where Miguel and his ancestors including great-great grandparents Hector and Mama Imelda celebrate Día de los Muertos.

“The adventure takes you through [those] heartstrings, and pulls you back into family, right?” said Carlos Jimenez, a managing producer with Disney Cruise Line Entertainment. “Doesn’t matter if you’re coming from the Mexican culture or any other culture. Family’s at the center – la familia es todo . So family is everything and we want to make sure we’re telling that beautiful story.”

Princess Cruises also debuted a suite-level guest offering called “360: An Extraordinary Experience” on board Enchanted Princess and Discovery Princess.

The line carved out a small rotunda venue with two half-circle long tables facing one another for 20 diners to serve up a seven-course meal that hits all the senses over an hour and a half.

Diners begin seated within a dark room surrounded by digital screen snapshots of Mediterranean destinations about the circular enclosed walls, What follows is a combination of storytelling of a culinary adventure from Greece to Italy to Spain and into France with an assist from actress Brooke Shields leading the way.

It’s a narrative device to get the real stories told, the source of the various culinary delights presented with white-glove service from course to course, whether it’s the Spanish divers who take the red varietal Grenache and age it underwater or the French lavender farmer who explains where the distinct honey flavor comes from.

Along the way, and intense and detailed projection about the room and onto the dinner service plates invites diners to interact with their meal settings before the actual food is presented, such as virtually smashing some Greek plateware or digging up their own Spanish truffle.

The scents of the food while dining could suffice, but an effusive olfactory accompaniment hits here and there such as the lemon aroma ahead of the tasty Italian dish pasta al limone while its recipe is projected upon the screen.

“What happens here in 360 is you can be anywhere in the world and we’re going to transport you into the Mediterranean,” said Princess Cruises President John Padgett during the experience’s debut event. “We have immersive video, storytelling, food and wine that intersects with the story.”
