Anchors aweigh, Jacinda, and welcome to planDisney!
I'm so glad you brought your question to us.
I think any time is a good time to plan a Disney Cruise Line vacation, but let's talk about the best time. For the best selection of staterooms, and often the best fares, you should book as soon as itineraries are released. Itineraries are typically announced a few months at a time about 15-18 months in advance. For example, Summer 2025 cruises were announced in March 2024, and September to December cruises are often released in May of the previous year. So, depending on what time of year you would like to cruise, keep that timeline in mind.
New itineraries are announced on the
Disney Cruise Line Instagram account and the
Disney Parks Blog. You can also sign up to receive email communications from Disney Cruise Line by
creating an account. Sign in to your account, click on your name, and scroll down to Communication Preferences. From there, select "Manage your email subscriptions" and select your preferences. Before you know it, you will have your wishlist filled with cruises!
Jacinda, if you want to learn more about each of the Disney Cruise Line ships, check out the
planDisney Pocket Guides for Disney Cruise Line, or the Disney Cruise Line website. And if you have other questions or need some tips for making the most of your vacation, please write back to us here at planDisney!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
