Hi there, Diana! Welcome back to planDisney!
September is one of my favorite months to sail on a Disney cruise because all of the Halloween festivities kick off during Halloween on the High Seas. It's such a fun and magical time on board! I would love to help you choose the September cruise that’s right for you!
The two ports that are closest to the Disney Theme Parks are
Port Canaveral, which is close to Walt Disney World Resort, and the
Port of San Diego, which is close to Disneyland Resort.
However, since you also mentioned choosing a sailing that's between 5 and 7 nights, this limits the port of departure to Port Canaveral, as there is one September sailing from San Diego for only 4 nights.
You can find the
September cruises on the Disney Cruise Line website by filtering the date to “September 2026”, the departure port to “Port Canaveral”, and the number of nights to 5-7. The resulting cruises are all Bahamian and Caribbean, sailing from Port Canaveral aboard either the
Disney Treasure or the
Disney Fantasy. Some of them are
Halloween on the High Seas-themed cruises, but a few of them that sail earlier in the month are not.
Since you would like to be in Walt Disney World Resort either before or after your cruise, you might also consider visiting
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. A Halloween on the High Seas cruise while trick-or-treating with Mickey and his Pals at Magic Kingdom Park, before or after, is the perfect way to celebrate the magically spooky season!
At this time, there is no dedicated vacation package that combines a cruise, hotel stay, and park tickets. I frequently visit Walt Disney World Resort when sailing on a Disney cruise, and find that the best way to purchase theme park tickets and make a Walt Disney World Resort reservation is on the
website. You can make a hotel reservation before your cruise, and then contact Disney Cruise Line to make a
Ground Transportation reservation from your resort, and then back again after your cruise to either Disney World or the airport. It’s all so seamless and easy!
Diana, I hope that I gave you great options for your Disney Cruise and Disney World adventure! I wish you many magical memories ahead! Please sail back to planDisney if you have any other questions.
You’ve Got a Friend in Me,
Rana
