Why This Is A Great Offer For UK Travellers

Disney cruises rarely offer such a heavily discounted cruise fare for new bookings during the October to December cruise season. During this time the Disney cruise fleet has seasonal events like Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime Cruises which offer special seasonal events onboard.

A 40% reduction makes the price of this type of premium experience more accessible. With that said, you do already have to have the money saved as you pay in full at the time of booking. This does give first time cruisers from the UK an incentive to go for it.

And remember, this offer includes the Disney Magic home to Animator's Palate dining experience and the legendary Aquaduck water slide.

Disney Discount During UK October School Holidays

This deal also falls during UK school holiday times. If you’re looking for a last minute October half term getaway, this could be perfect. The Disney Dream, Wish, and Magic all have sailings during the half term week. That’s what makes this deal even more unusual, it works perfectly for UK families too!

Just think, a Disney cruise for half October term, with some Florida sun, at a discount, without the stress of telling school, and avoiding local authority fines that increased this school year.
