Ahoy there, Patty!
Welcome aboard planDisney! With six staterooms, it sounds like you're planning a gathering worthy of a Madrigal family reunion! A Disney cruise is such a fun way to bring everyone together because there is truly something for every age, whether your crew prefers relaxing by the pool, catching
Broadway-style shows, meeting beloved Disney characters, or simply enjoying time together at sea.
The not-so-magical news is that it may be a little while before the Summer 2028 itineraries are released. Disney likes to keep us guessing, and there is currently no official release date for those sailings. If Disney follows a similar pattern to previous years, we could see the Summer 2028 itineraries released sometime around February 2027, but that's just an educated guess. It could certainly be earlier or later.
The good news is that you've already done one of the hardest parts of planning, you've picked your ship and travel timeframe! Once Disney releases those itineraries, you'll simply need to find the perfect
Disney Fantasy sailing for your crew and secure your staterooms.
If you haven't already signed up for
Disney Cruise Line email updates, I highly recommend doing so. That's often one of the easiest ways to learn when new itineraries are announced and booking windows open. With six staterooms involved, getting an early start could be especially helpful if you're hoping for connecting staterooms or staterooms located close together.
Once your sailing is released, you'll be able to place the required deposit to reserve your staterooms and then make additional payments toward your cruise before the final payment date. One important thing to keep in mind is that Disney Cruise Line's online booking system only allows up to four staterooms in a single reservation transaction. Since you're looking at six staterooms, you'll either need to
call Disney Cruise Line directly or complete multiple reservations online.
I hope this helps as you start dreaming about your 2028 family adventure aboard the Fantasy! While the itineraries haven't been revealed quite yet, you've already got your compass pointed in the right direction and are well ahead of the game.
Sea ya real soon as the days grow longer and the countdowns grow shorter,
