How much is your 2023 Disney Cruise going to cost, or how much are you budgeting for it?

Too much! But they're fun and we find they are currently a good value for us.

Just under 10K for the cruise for two adults and two middle schoolers, probably 1500-2000 for airfare, then excursions and extras. Probably 15K when it’s all said and done. We did find it actually slightly (like $50) less expensive for a verandah room plus a very close by inside, so we did that instead of a family verandah. I’m looking foreword to that extra space!
Budgeting… I took on an extra role at work which will help slightly. Otherwise just saving as we go.

$5149 for a 6 night bahamian with 2 stops castaway and 1 lighthouse with 2 adults, 2 kids aged 1 and 2 or $3669 for a 4 night with 1 stop castaway and 1 lighthouse. Both are in Oceanview 8D rooms- forward corner of the ship with a larger layout instead of a verandah. We're not sure which one we will actually go on yet...Still deciding if the $1480 is worth the difference for the longer cruise with a 1 and 2 year old... We booked on opening day pricing with Silver Castaway status and prices have gone up since. Thankfully, we don't plan to spend any extra on excursions since they both go to Disney's islands and have enough to do without booking excursions and we live in FL so no flight costs! The only things we would really need to pay for on board are maybe the nursery (doubt we will use much), alcohol, and room service tips.

Until the cruise, I plan to do Disney Gift Cards for any of my own gifts (birthday, Christmas, anniversary etc.), I opened a new credit card that gives a decent sign on bonus and cash back that we can use towards Disney Gift Cards, I booked with a travel agent to get on board credit, and am keeping my eye out on Disney Gift Card Deals.
