Disney's $25 OBC for booking online has a deadline now!

[CrystalS]

Just got this in my email:

Disney Cruise Line® continually evaluates its offerings in the marketplace. As a result, a new “book by” date has been added to the $25 online onboard credit offer currently available to Clients and Travel Agents. The offer must be booked by May 31, 2012.

Its such a minimal amount, I dont use the Disney OBC, other travel agents give a much better incentive.

Currently, we use an agency that gives us 10% of the cruise cost back in the form of a cash card. Being that we book a suite, thats quite a bit!

Not sure about your agency, but most agencies book online, which means that $25 credit for booking online is also added to your shipboard account, or at least that's how I do it. The $25 from Disney plus the regular amount from the agent...

I know $25 isn't much, but it's still something, and it must be "enough" that Disney doesn't want to keep doing it. Not sure what will happen after the book by date, if they will bring out another offer, or if it will just be gone?

Which agency does that?

Most of our reservations were booked while onboard, so they don't qualify for the $25 off either. I think we've actually gotten that OBC once in 7 cruises, when our Dream cruise price never dropped after booking on opening day to make rebooking it worthwhile.

Its nice, for those booking for the very first time, but is just a drop in the bucket unless combined with a TA's OBC as mentioned previously.

Costco is who we used and got this basic offer, ours was around 9%, which we will receive a month or so after our return in the form of a Costco cash card.

Any agency/agent can make your booking online via the Disney Travel Agents website. As long as they do that, the cruiser will get the $25 OBC.

I booked with Small World Vacations and got $125 OBC, plus the additional $25 for booking online. So $150 total. This was for a $3,600 cruise.

This was the main reason we went with a TA instead of DCL direct. Figured $125 extra is quite a few free drinks!

True, but the $360 costco cash card would buy even more!

True, but not everyone is or wants to be a Costco member.
