    When will the Merrytime cruise dates and ports be announced for 2026?

    Ahoy, Cheyenne! I am thrilled to welcome you to planDisney, as you look forward to hearing, "Welcome Aboard Disney Cruise Line!" It is the most magical greeting. And there is no better way to spend the most wonderful time of the year than being on the most magical ship at sea. Very Merrytime Cruises are perfect for a holly, jolly holiday!

    Like you, I keep checking "Find a Cruise" in hopes that the squares for the Fall and Winter months light up. Usually, Disney announces these itineraries about 13-18 months ahead, so I've been waiting to activate full-on planning mode since June. Curiouser and curiouser, the new dates are top of mind for many of us, but no news has been shared. I am ready to plan a Halloween on the High Seas cruise for next year. My early planning heart has me running like the White Rabbit, thinking, "I'm late! I'm late for a very important date!" But the website assures me, I have not missed the boat.

    If you have not already, be sure to sign up for e-mail updates. Disney usually sends emails announcing an upcoming release of new itineraries, including the dates they will be available for booking for members of the Castaway Club and the general public. I also like to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog. When new cruises are on the horizon, they typically share the news with some exciting details about the itineraries and destinations.

    Cheyenne, hopefully, it won't be long before we can go from Disney Dreaming to Disney Planning. It's such a thrilling moment when you see your new cruise in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app and can start counting the days. If we can help as you wait or when you are planning, please sail back by planDisney with any questions. We're all aboard to help!

    SEAS the Adventure!
