Those who you put off their summer vacation plans will likely end up paying more.

Demand for summer travel is off the charts. For example, 99% of Disney Cruise Line's summer and fall cruises from Port Canaveral are now sold out.

The Disney Wish will begin sailing in mid-July so that may help with availability on 3 and 4 night sailings - I should have an update for you on Feb 8th.

Disney Wish | Disney Cruise Line

Most 3, 4, and 7 night cruises on Disney Cruise Line are sold out summer through fall 2022.

But even the Disney Fantasy which does 7-night eastern and western Caribbean sailings, is sold out for the summer. Ask me about Royal Caribbean sailings, there is still availability.

Standard room at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

At Walt Disney World, nights that are typically available are now sold out. Standard View rooms at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort are almost always available in late August even as a last minute booking.

Today, they are already sold out for most dates in August. This is a first for me, in all my years of helping clients book Disney vacations I have never seen Disney’s Polynesian Resort sell out in late August.

There are still plenty of options, but I'm seeing that the more economical categories across the cruise lines and Walt Disney World are booking fast.

Contact me today to begin planning your summer vacation. I'll show you the best available options for Disney World plus some great offers from Royal Caribbean and Universal Orlando.

MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated. Today most park people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too. Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you've used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology. If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps. 📱 See the full article here (it's free!) https://orlandoparksguy.com/blog/magicbands-magicmobile #orlandoparksguy #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #magicband #disneyvacation #wdw #disneyparks #mydisneyvacation
