Disney Cruise Line is returning to guest-favorite destinations, including Mexico, The Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean. Don’t forget to pack Mickey Mouse ears because several itineraries include an extra touch of Pixie Dust with stops at both of Disney’s island destinations, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Day at Lighthouse Point. Some sailings will stop not once but twice at Disney Castaway Cay! And, for the first time, Disney Cruise Line will call on a new port, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.


California Dreaming

What can make West Coast breezes and California dreaming even more wonderful? Pairing that with a Disney cruise! The Disney Magic will kick off the sailing season in October 2026 from San Diego, California with three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-night voyages before heading to Galveston, Texas in November, and the Disney Wonder will make its way to San Diego in October 2026 as well, offering everything from three- to seven-night sailings through April 2027. The Disney Magic will stop in Catalina Island, California as well as Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.


Deep in the Heart of Texas

You know what they say: the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. Now, imagine the magic of staking in those beautiful Texas night skies from the upper decks of the Disney Magic while enjoying ice cream cone and a Disney movie on the Funnel Vision. Families can do just that on the Disney Magic from Galveston between November 2026 and April 2027 on four-, five and seven-night sailings. Whether walking the sandy beaches of Cozumel, Mexico, and exploring the historic Progreso, Mexico, or experiencing a Bahamian vacation under the palm trees at Disney Castaway Cay or Nassau, there’s something for everyone.

 

Five Ships in Florida

Five ships in Florida! Try saying that five times fast. With ships sailing out of both Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral, there are so many Florida Disney Cruise Line Vacations to choose from. The Disney Destiny, joining the family November of 2025, will offer four-, five- and seven-nights from Fort Lauderdale to The Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean. It is destined to be a heroic or villainous time!

 

The Disney Dream will begin fall 2026 with three-, four-, five- and six-night dream cruises to The Bahamas and seven-night sailings to the Eastern Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, as well as seven-night sailings to the Southern Caribbean from San Juan, Puerto Rico, The Disney Dream will then make its way to Port Canaveral for more three- and four-night Bahamian vacations.

 

Families can live their own fairy tale fantasy on the Disney Fantasy, which will call on Disney Castaway Cay, Disney Lookout Cay and Nassau between October 2026 and May 2027 during three-, four-, and five-night voyages. There is truly nothing like Cookie’s BBQ and True-True BBQ, relaxing at Serenity Bay and meeting Mickey Mouse in an island paradise.

 

Whether your are wishing for a weekend getaway or the perfect weeklong vacation, the Disney Wish is waiting to visit Disney Castaway Cay, Disney Lookout Cay and Nassau. Three-, and four-night sailings from Port Canaveral will be offered on the Disney Wish.

 

The excitement continues with memories family can create treasure together. Seven-night sailings aboard the Disney Treasure from Port Canaveral will allow guests to experience the beauty of Cozumel, magic of Disney Castaway Cay, sunshine of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the picturesque views of the Caribbean between October 2026 to May 2027,

 

Disney Adventure

The Disney Adventure, setting sail later this year, will return with three-, and four-night cruises from Marina Bay Cruise Center in Singapore from October to December 2026. Guests will have their own adventures experiencing beloved Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories in brand new ways, including Marvel-themed attractions and Browdway-Style theatrical experiences exclusive to the Disney Adventure.

 

Tis the Season

For the fans of spooky and merry festivities, it is time to start planning holiday celebrations at sea. Start scheming your best Halloween costume because Halloween on the High Seas is returning on select sailings from September to October 2026. Very Merrytime Cruises will begin in early November. Haul out the holly, enjoy all the festive treats and savor all the Halloween candy while celebrating the season onboard Disney Cruise Line with friends and family. These holiday themed sailing will be available on select domestic Disney Cruise Line itineraries.

When is the Best Time to Book a Disney Cruise?

When is the Best Time to Book a Disney Cruise?


NOW!!! June 26th, 2023 the itineraries for the end of 2024 and early 2025 come out! Read on!! Pearl Castaway Club Members can start booking on the 19th!

 

When is the best time to book a Disney Cruise and why then?? I know you want to book for this summer or maybe the fall. That is NOT a good idea! What?!?!? Ya, book 12-16 months out if you want some of the best prices! Yes, you can book for Summer 2023 through Summer 2024 now but remember the closer to the cruise the more expensive it will be.

 

The best time to book a Disney Cruise is as soon as you can when new itineraries are released. If you are a Castaway Club Member you can book before the General Public. How many days before the General Public is based on your Castaway Club Level. Remember late September 2023 to a few cruises in February 2025 will be released June 26th, 2023! Pearl Castaway Members can start booking June 19th!

 

Why the rush to book?? The most popular cruises book quickly, and prices go up quickly after the ships start to fill. I have seen some levels of cabins be sold out before the first day is over for popular or unique cruise itineraries! Remember the closer to the cruise you book the higher the fare.

 

What will be the big ticket cruises for this release of itineraries? Wonder to Hawaii, any of the South Pacific Island Cruises on the Disney Wonder.  Halloween on the High Seas and Merrytime Cruises on all ships are always highly sought after.

 

Have you decided you want to wait until the next release date? Well tell your Travel Agent and see if they will put you on a list to notify you about the releases. The basic itineraries are released a week or two before the date and a Travel Agent can help you get a copy so you can look at it before they go on sale.

 

There are other ways to save on a Disney Cruise. One of the easiest is purchasing Discounted Disney Gift Cards at Target using a Target Red Card and save 5%! When you are on a cruise make a $250 deposit on a Placeholder Cruise and save 10%. Pay for the Placeholder Cruise using Discounted Disney Gift Cards and save 15%!! That is $15 per hundred dollars, or $150 for each thousand dollars! That is worth the little extra work!

 

Let us know if you want to book one of these cruises or be put on a list for the next release dates.
