Hello, Eric! Thank you for sailing to planDisney with your question. Welcome!
I love to keep my eyes on the
Disney Parks Blog and the
Disney Cruise Line website to see when new itineraries are released. I even follow Disney Cruise Line on Instagram to make sure I don't miss any of the announcements. My best estimate for the date that we might see summer 2024 itineraries announced would be mid-April to early May. Last year, the summer sailing announcement was made on April 27. In the past, these announcements have been made any time between the end of February till the end of April, so theoretically it could be any time!
The good news is that when these new sailings are announced, there is a grace period of a few days for excited cruisers to consider which sailings they may wish to book before the reservation process begins. The itinerary announcement will provide details about when booking opens for
Castaway Club members (previous Disney Cruise Line guests) and the general public. You may wish to find a travel agent that comes recommended by a friend or colleague to work with. Travel agents will be ready to inform you when bookings are available and to assist you through the process.
While you wait for your next adventure to begin, you may enjoy tuning into the planDisney podcast. We have some episodes sharing
tips for first-time Disney Cruise guests, special
holiday sailings, and celebrating the newest ship in the fleet, the
Disney Wish.
Please sail back to planDisney any time you have more questions. My pals and I are happy to help!
Happy Planning,
Adrianna
