Ahoy there, Kate! It sounds like you’re already in planning mode for next year. Like you, I’m always thinking about my next Disney Cruise, so I’m glad you sailed by planDisney with your question.
In my experience, new itineraries are typically released about 13-18 months in advance of their departure dates. Considering it’s now March 2025, I would expect we should see those Fall 2026 itineraries sail out within the next month or so.
Of course, there are no guarantees, but in the meantime, I would start exploring some of the current
destinations and
ports of call. Remember, depending on your
Castaway Club status, you can book new itineraries before the general public.
Depending on what ship you want to sail on, you may also be able to experience a
Halloween on the High Seas cruise. I’ve probably sailed this itinerary more than any other and it’s always so fun to see my favorite Disney pals in their Halloween costumes.
Whatever itinerary you decide to sail on, make sure you download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before your trip. This will be your go-to guide for Character Greetings, movie times, excursions, and more. You can even chat with anyone on the ship using cute little Disney emoticons!
I know the wait can be excruciating, but I hope you’ll have fun wishing on a star while you wait. If you think of any other questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to sail back to us here at
planDisney.
Embrace the magic,
Sami
