Ahoy, Deanna! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for sailing over with your Disney Cruise Line question. It sounds like you already have your dream vacation mapped out in your head, but are stuck waiting for the itinerary releases to catch up.
As a planner myself, I understand how frustrating that can be, but the good news is that you should not have to wait too much longer! Although there is no official date as to when the next itinerary announcement will be made, we fully expect that both the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 itineraries will be released at the end of this summer. Both the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 itineraries were announced together in August 2025 and the general bookings opened on September 2, 2025, so we expect a similar timeline to be used again.
The most up-to-date information will always be found on the
Disney Cruise Line website, but you can also
sign up for the official email updates to get announcements sent right to your inbox. That way you will be notified when the new itineraries are announced, will know when
special offers are available, and can also follow along as the
newest ship gets ready to join the fleet.
If you are planning a December 2027 cruise, then I recommend reading up on all of the offerings found onboard during the
Very Merrytime Cruises. There’s nothing better than adding extra holiday festivities when you set sail where magic meets the sea.
As you continue planning your cruise, feel free to reach back out to planDisney with any other questions. Happy sailing!
