A new Disney Cruise Line policy change has updated the final payment date for Concierge guests, as well as the cruise cancelation fee schedule, effective immediately.
Disney Cruise Line Policy Updates
Starting today, September 24, 2024, the final payment for Concierge guests aboard Disney Cruise Line will be due 90 days before the vacation commencement date for 1 to 5-Night sailings. For sailings of 6 or more nights, final payment will be due 120 days before the trip start date.
