    Hello@ My family and I are looking to plan a large extended family vacation on a Disney Cruise over Thanksgiving 2027. Are there any updates as to when those sailing dates are going to be released and when booking is going to start? Thanks!

    Ahoy, Tamara!

    Thank you for sailing over for help from our sea-loving crew. A large, extended family vacation to celebrate Thanksgiving next year sounds absolutely magical! The best part is that no one will have to cook or clean! Your amazing dining team will take care of that, which makes your sailing even more relaxing. It really is such a great way for everyone to be together, because there will be something for every generation on your Disney Cruise ship!

    Tamara, I know how hard it is to wait for new Disney Cruise Line sail dates, especially when you know exactly when you want to vacation with Captains Mickey and Minnie. I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you the exact date, but my best guess is sometime this summer. I always recommend keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog, the Disney Cruise Line website, and social media pages for the latest news. While I wait for new releases, I like to research possible itineraries, port adventures, stateroom categories/locations, and consider my pre- and post-cruise travel plans. planDisney Panel Extras also has some great information about sailing with Disney Cruise Line to review. This helps me stay busy and ready to book once the big announcement is made. 

    Since your crew will have multiple staterooms, you can link up to 4 on the Disney Cruise Line website. If you need to connect more than 4, you'll want to reach out to Disney Cruise Line directly at 1(800) 951-3532 once everything is booked. You'll need a reservation number, the lead Guest's last name, and the lead Guest's birthdate to complete the linking for each room. Once everyone is connected in the system, you'll be able to dine together, plan onboard fun, and port adventures together. 

    Tamara, please don't hesitate to reach out again if you have any other questions. We are always here to help if you think of anything else. 

    Happy planning,
    Nancy
