Verb following que: Past/Present vs Present Subjunctive

Hi,

Is there any rule of thumb about when in an essentially "indicative" sentence subjunctive is required after que?

For example, I understand why

Que disfrutes de tus vacaciones

but why

Y no me creo que lleve diez días fuera

?

That is, I see a lot of sentences that look for me just like the last one with past or present after que. No subjunctive. It is not really an arbitrary choice, or is it?
