Summer vacation was just extended!

This summer has just gotten a little longer for many school districts here on Long Island! Most school districts are planning on starting a little later after the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah on September 9th.

So, what are you Disney Destination vacation options? Everyone knows about Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Great news is, the Disney "value" priced season starts the middle of August and runs through September. There have not been any formal announcements made on further discount promotions yet, but historically there is a deep discount for travel to Walt Disney World during this time period.

There is an amazing offer on Disney Cruise Line for this travel period as well! You can get a great lead rate – plus an onboard credit up to $100 – when you sail on a 3- or 4-night cruise aboard Disney Dream departing from Port Canaveral Aug. 25 – Sept. 26, 2013.

The following lead rates are per person, based on double occupancy:
•3-night cruise – Inside stateroom starting at $399, Oceanview stateroom starting at $449 and Verandah stateroom starting at $499.
•4-night cruise – Inside stateroom starting at $499, Oceanview stateroom starting at $549 and Verandah stateroom starting at $599.

In addition, if you book a 3- or 4-night cruise on Disney Dream departing Aug. 25 – Sept. 26, 2013, and you will receive a $50 onboard credit for an Inside stateroom, $75 onboard credit for an Oceanview stateroom or a $100 onboard credit for a Verandah stateroom. PLUS if you book with Castle Dreams Travel, they will offer you an additional stateroom credit as well.

Prefer a longer cruise? On August 24, 2013 the owners of Castle Dreams Travel (myself included) will be cruising the Eastern Caribbean onboard Disney Cruise Line’s newest addition, Fantasy, and would be thrilled if you could join them! They will be offering a private ship tour on the first and second day of the cruise to help you become accustomed to your new home for this week long cruise. There will be special gifts and special stateroom credits (amount based on the price of the stateroom) for all guests sailing with Castle Dreams Travel as well as an exclusive event onboard as well. Before your departure they will be sure you are fully prepared to enjoy your cruise with excursion and spa suggestions for you and your family to enjoy as well as any pre and post cruise vacation planning you may need assistance with.

Prefer something more exotic? Adventures by Disney is a great way to see the world with your family with all inclusive options all around the world including Asia, Europe, and South America! Castle Dreams Travel is also offering a deal on these as well which includes a Visa gift card for every Adventures by Disney vacation!
