    I have a 3 year old granddaughter who was born on Halloween. I know it’s early yet, but we are wanting to take her on Disney Halloween Cruise for her 5th birthday in 2027. Want general information for when the Fall 2027 schedule is open.

    Ahoy there, Andrea! Welcome aboard, planDisney! 

    What a lucky granddaughter to have such a devoted grandma already thinking about how to make her fifth birthday extra special! There is nothing like a birthday celebration with Captain Mickey and his pals. Add in the frightful fun of Halloween on the High Seas, and you’re sure to make memories that will last for many years and remember this birthday celebration for generations! 

    Like you, I’m also a planner, and I like to think far ahead when it comes to planning big celebrations. However, the Fall 2027 itineraries have not been released yet. Also, like you, I’ve been keeping a lookout for the Fall 2027 itineraries, as I’m also considering booking a Halloween on the High Seas cruise for my family. Unlike the Sanderson Sisters, however, we only have to wait a little while longer, and not 300 years for them to be released! 

    In general, Disney cruise itineraries tend to be released about a year and a half out. This is why we can only find sailings up to Spring 2027 today. I did a little sailing around the Disney Cruise Line website, and found that last year and this year's fall itineraries were released and available for booking during June and August. As offerings tend to hold a pattern, my best guess is that the Fall 2027 offerings will also be released between these dates in 2026.

    The best way to make sure you don’t miss when they’re released is to keep up-to-date on all the Disney Cruise Line happenings by signing up for updates sent right to your inbox. This is how I stay up-to-date on all things Disney Cruise Line, including the dates of new itineraries. Please remember that, once announced, your dates of booking a new itinerary will depend on your Castaway Club Membership level. 

    Andrea, one fun task you could do right now is start thinking about all the fun birthday surprises you could plan for your granddaughter onboard!  As a mom who has celebrated quite a few birthdays with Captain Mickey and his friends, let me make a few favorite suggestions: 

    • Schedule to have her stateroom decorated with birthday decorations  

    Andrea, I’m so excited for you and your granddaughter and all the frightfully fun memories you’re going to make together! Please sail back to planDisney if you have any other questions! 

    See ya real soon,
