Ahoy there, Juanita! Welcome to planDisney. Thanks for sailing by with your question for us!
Here at
planDisney, my fellow Panelists and I love planning vacations for our families and friends. And it looks like you’re quite a planner yourself! I’m delighted to see you’re already considering a Disney cruise vacation in December 2026. It’ll be here before we know it!
Unfortunately, it is a bit too soon to start booking your December 2026 vacation.
Disney Cruise Line typically releases new itineraries around 15 to 18 months in advance. For the best rates and stateroom availabilities, I recommend booking as soon as the booking window opens for your travel dates. Since you’re planning to sail in December 2026, there will be
Very Merrytime Cruises on select sailings. These specially themed cruises are full of festive fun! My extended family and I had a wonderful time during a Very Merrytime Cruise onboard the Disney Fantasy last winter. We loved seeing Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus together and enjoyed the scent of a giant gingerbread house wafting through the atrium.
Be sure to follow along the official Disney Cruise Line account, @DisneyCruiseLine, on your favorite social media platforms for all the latest updates. Also, you can check out the
Disney Parks Blog for information regarding when new itineraries will be released and the date when your booking window opens.
As you continue to plan your upcoming cruise and have more trip-planning questions, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again.
Hope to SEA ya real soon,
Kiki
