Booking A Cruise Thru Dreams Unlimited With A New Disney Visa?

[Angeejoe]

My DH was just approved for a new Disney Visa & we've been talking about booking a cruise with Dreams Unlimited. The visa info states that select Disney trips can be authorized for 6months 0%, is this only when booking directly through Disney or is it applicable when you book with a travel agent like Dreams? I sent an email to the travel agent, but it's Friday night, so I'm not expecting a quick reply.

Anyone have any experience with this? Also are there any other benefits on the cruise with the Disney visa?

Thanks!!!

We use a travel agent and still get the 0%.

Hope this helps!

Thank you @adamki

Now to figure out "select Disney vacations," how do you know which are covered?

With a Disney Visa you will also qualify for a $50 on board credit. Just ask your agent to have it applied. I think this credit can only be used on beverages.

You must use the Disney VISA to pay for the entire cruise to qualify for the OBC. Yes, it's for beverage purchases only.

I just heard about the $50 drink credit but I guess it's not good on a VGT! Bummer!

Thank you for all the advice!!!

Unless something has changed, I thought *GT was the only "special offer" that could be combined with the Disney Visa OBC. The Visa OBC offer requires a booking code (DCC). I don't know if it can be added after PIF but it can be added at final payment as long as deposit plus any/all payments were made with the Disney Visa.

Enjoy your cruise!

Now I'm confused again, lol. Is the visa obc the $50 drink credit? You think it can be used with a VGT? What's a DCC booking code? How do you get it?

Yes, the Disney Visa OBC is a $50 beverage credit. "DCC" is the code that needs to be added to your reservation to get that credit. If you are booking through DU the agent likely knows that code already.

*GT rates do not use a booking code, therefore the Disney Visa offer can be used with a *GT. Other special offers -- FL resident, military, kids sail free (which hasn't been offered for a few years) -- all require a booking code to get that discounted rate. DCL doesn't allow "stacking" of offers, therefore the Disney Visa offer cannot be used along with those other discounts.

The current Disney Visa credit offer is only good for cruises through 12/31/2016. If you are sailing in 2017 you would need to wait for the offer to be extended. But since you are booking a VGT I assume that's not an issue (just adding the info for other cruisers who may read this).

Enjoy your cruise!
