Really wish they would put out the Military discounted cruises farther out...

That's not how it works, they put the special rates out closer to sailing on cruises that are not selling well.
I'm sure you knew that already, but what you wish for will probably never happen![]()
Yeah, I know. Just airing my frustrations is all.
well that is annoying. guess I have no choice but to wait and hope it works out.If it's before your PIF date yes, but after PIF there is a penalty to rebook.
Unless you get some sort of magic moment, I know someone that was able to switch their IGT to a VGT right before sailing, but that was a more expensive room so it benefited Disney as well.
This question will be better here. If I book a cruise now and closer to the sail date a FLR discount becomes available, will DCL give me the lower rate
yea, im not too connected to a certain category, mostly just wanting a room with a verandah. seems like I need to reach out to disney and find out for sure.As of right now, I think FLR is the only discount-offer that CAN be applied to an existing reservation after PIF. I haven't heard it changed, though DCL could change their rules/offers at any time. If the offer states something like "valid for new bookings only" then you would have to cancel (with any penalty) and rebook.
The thing about FLR rates is they aren't offered for every cruise, and they are typically only for specific stateroom categories, so you may need to change categories. And I believe there are a limited number of staterooms available with the FLR discount.
Enjoy your cruise!

yea, I can afford the current price but im not gonna watch a lower rate come about and walk away from it.The FLR offers right now do not specify "new" bookings only which is on the MTO and *GT offers. That doesn't mean next week or next month or next year DCL won't change the policy. They can't guarantee you would definitely be allowed to change rates if you purchase in advance, as there are limited number of staterooms available when offered (like booking a resort room now hoping for free dining in the fall). DCL will not automatically adjust it; you or your TA would have to call and request it at the time the FLR offer is posted. If FLR is offered.
If you are willing to cruise and the current fare is within your budget, book now. If you will only cruise on an FLR rate, then wait until closer to sail date to see what's offered.
Enjoy your cruise!
