Effective May 15, 2012  Disney Cruise Line has changed the cancellation fee period for cruises 10 days or more and cruises less than 10 days where the embark and debark is a non-U.S. port. The 50% cancellation fee period will now be calculated at 55 days prior to vacation commencement versus 44 days.

In 2012, this new Disney Cruise Line policy will impact the 14-night Hawaiian cruise and 14-night Panama Canal Repositioning cruise. In 2013, it will impact Mediterranean, Alaskan and Repositioning cruises.

For reservations made prior to May 15, 2012, the cancellation fees assessed will be based on the cancellation fees listed on the original confirmation unless the sailing date or vacation package is modified. Click here to view a complete list of Disney Cruise Line cancellation fees.

Choosing your Walt Disney World Resort is probably the biggest decision you will make when planning your Disney vacation.  We are often asked, “Which is the best Disney resort?”  That’s a really hard question to answer.  They’re all great and they all meet different needs.  The perfect Walt Disney World resort for your family depends upon your budget, your needs and the experience you are looking to have.

Disney Value Resorts offer comfortable accommodations and fewer amenities at a bargain price.  If you think of your Disney resort as a place to sleep after spending all day at the parks, you might choose to save a little cash and book a Value Resort.

Deluxe Resorts are luxurious with top of the line features.  If you love spending time at your Disney resort, then choosing a Deluxe Resort with a fabulous pool, on-site restaurants and tons of recreational opportunities might be the way to go.

Moderate Resorts fall somewhere in the middle.  If you think you’d like a few extra amenities without breaking the bank, try a Moderate Resort.

To make choosing your Walt Disney World Resort a little easier, take a look at this chart.  It allows you to easily compare all the resort categories.

Now, you can choose the perfect Walt Disney World Resort to make your trip magical!
