if i were you i would still check around. before others have shared rates given for other promotions, and in fact there have been times when it was not really any special promotion at all, rather 'the rates' were the regular prices available to the general public. I would get some quotes from another source. hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this, Momto2funkids.

The rates are all for a Category 9 cabin, and the rates for the 7-night cruise are the same as the best Early Booking Savings tier possible for a Cat. 9. It IS a better deal on the 3- and 4-night cruises, though, those posted rates are better than even the best EBS tier for 3- and 4-night cruises for a Cat. 9

Hopefully some active duty military families can take advantage of the pricing and enjoy a much-needed vacation.

We booked the 12/15/02 4-day Wonder cruise at this military rate through DU. Worked out great. And I was just saying to myself I'd book a Disney cruise if I could get it under $500 for the time I wanted.
Thanks for posting it here, that's how I found out about it. Sure appreciate it!

I agree, I would ck around....especially the 7 day. Disney is not cutting much slack for Cat 9. Our son is in the Military but we found a much better deal thru early booking.

Hmm...can you get this applied to an existing reservation do you think? My son is coming with us in January...he's Navy. We have a category 10 for the kids, not a 9, not sure if that matters.

Fawn,
It looks like this offer is only for 'select' dates and none for January are posted. . Maybe they will offer something later in the year for January. I have a feeling that you could have it repriced if a promo was listed for then. Keep your fingers crossed.
