Ahoy, Harlie, and welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you sailed by with your question. It sounds like you’re dreaming ahead to a spooktacular October getaway with Disney Cruise Line and I love that kind of forward-thinking, so let’s explore your question further.
While exact dates haven’t been released just yet, Disney Cruise Line typically announces new itineraries 13 to 18 months in advance. That means we’re right in the window when fall 2026 sailings (including October) could be revealed.
Since those dates could magically appear any day now, I have a couple of tips to share. Keep a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the official Disney Cruise Line Instagram page for magical announcements. And if you haven’t already, be sure to
sign up for email updates on the Disney Cruise Line website so you’ll be among the first to hear when those itineraries drop. Plus, if you’ve sailed with Disney before, you’ll be able to book before the general public as a
Castaway Club member.
In the meantime, there’s even more to get excited about on the horizon! This November, Disney Cruise Line will welcome its next ship - the
Disney Destiny - to the fleet. As the sister ship to the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, she’ll be packed with the same immersive storytelling and innovative dining we’ve come to love and expect from Disney Cruise Line, along with brand-new hero and villain-themed surprises for seafaring dreamers. I can’t wait to sail with my fellow Muses for a girlfriends’ getaway to explore all the adults-only escapes and new Character Interactions.
I always say that planning your next cruise is half the fun, so now’s the perfect time to start imagining which ship and itinerary will be in your future. And if any more questions pop up along the way, don’t hesitate to drop anchor again at
planDisney; we’re always at the ready to help you plan the perfect voyage at sea!
Embrace the magic,
Sami
