So, we're planning a Disney Cruise for summer 2019. Specifically a 7 night Eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy in July, though could do first half of Aug.

We're a family of 5. If I book opening day, the cheapest would be Deluxe Family Oceanview for 5.

Or, I could sweat it out for 16 months or so and plan on booking with the military discounts when they come out. I know the chance of getting a deluxe family (oceanview or verandah) is slim to none, but I could get two insides. At the standard rates, the cost of the two insides is $700-$1000 more than the single family oceanview.

After all that, my question comes down to this. Would the military discount for two inside cabins (for 3 and 2) in the summer be significantly more than $1000, compared to opening day prices?

Thanks!

If you really want to sail the cruise book it. There is no guarantee that Disney will offer a discounted sailing during the summer months.
 
Have you noticed an availability threshold for when Disney adds a GT rate? I've already booked my cruise for 4/13, but I have another group of friends thinking about joining us ... they're willing to wait it out to see if they can get a better deal. There does seem to be quite a bit of availability on that cruise for it being past PiF date.
 


I only started tracking the availability, I hope to be able to make some sort of predictions one day, but have no had time to play with it and probably don't have enough data yet anyhow.

No worries - you already do amazing work pulling the data you share with us!

I just recently booked a 5E GTY - I was just surprised that not only was a GTY available, but at the sheer number of veranda staterooms available. It's very different from my past non-Disney cruises!

Been hoping for 4/5/18 Wonder (3n Bahamas) to go to *GT, but doubt it'll happen... We could do 4/6/18 Dream (also 3n) but prefer the Wonder....

I do have a placeholder which will net me about $300 in savings (10% plus $100 OBC) vs a potential $450 or so if a *GT comes out (assuming a 20% discount and adding about $50 more in OBC from my TA)

Wow. Those 7-n are awesome. I wish we could go!
 

That 3/4 Wonder sailing is killing me! Availability keeps showing ocean views but then before I can book it, they’re gone. I’ve managed to get a hold on one but we are a family of 6 and need two rooms. Crossing my fingers whoever else is shopping this cruise gives up on it and I can snag the other room!

Verandah is an option but not the route I want to go. No insides are close enough to each other.
Cmon DCL!

... I’m booking MTO rates.

Do you get to choose the room using an MTO rate?

Yes.
They both showed but then it booted me. I got one snagged (I’m a TA so I placed a hold) and am obsessively checking for the other.

Now there are two insides next to each other. Really can’t decide what to do!! I can’t modify MTO online so if something pops up after they close tonight I’ll miss it if I have us booked in another category.

I’d much rather have the OV but if I can get both these insides at least we’re on the ship?! Decisions, decisions...

Sailing in the Caribbean/Bahamas, I wouldn't worry too much about getting an oceanview over an inside, if getting the adjoining rooms is important to you. We sailed the Magic in an inside and it was fine. We spent little time in the room and mostly relaxed on deck.

It’s less about the view and more about the pull down upper berth beds, unfortunately. The insides available MTO don’t have them.

I can’t make up my mind at all. I debated the 4/9 Dream but my husband really wants to do a 7 night and I can’t make any of the Fantasy sailings work for us. We did two connecting insides on the Dream 12/16 and it was perfect. We’d previously always had a verandah but we didn’t miss it.
Wish the price on the 3/10 Fantasy was more in line with the 3/4 Wonder and 2/24 Fantasy!

Have you considered a B2B?
 
If you really want to sail the cruise book it. There is no guarantee that Disney will offer a discounted sailing during the summer months.

I agree with this. I've been monitoring what's available for the deluxe family staterooms (oceanview or verandah) as we plan to sail June 2019 for my parents anniversary. My mom is not flexible, and I have yet to see a room for a family of 5 like us with the discount, so I'm just going to book ASAP.
