Disney Cruise Line Expands Sailings in California and Texas with Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 Itineraries
CELEBRATION, Fla. (Aug. 19, 2025) — Today, Disney Cruise Line releases the fall 2026 and spring 2027 itineraries, offering West Coast and Texas families more sailings in their backyard with even more voyages from San Diego and Galveston. These itineraries invite guests to create lasting memories with many ships returning to favorite destinations including the Caribbean and The Bahamas.
Early bookings open Aug. 25, 2025 for select Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members, and general bookings open Sept. 2, 2025. For additional information, visit disneycruise.com.
California Dreaming
For the first time, San Diego will welcome two Disney Cruise Line ships, allowing more time for California dreaming and Pacific Coast breezes.
The Disney Magic will set sail in California for two months with three-, four-, five-, six- and seven-night voyages in October and November 2026, before transitioning to Texas on a 14-night voyage from San Diego to Galveston featuring stops in the breathtaking Puerto Vallarta, Cartagena and Grand Cayman.
Joining the Disney Magic for seven months in San Diego, the Disney Wonder will offer guests a spectacular view of crystal-blue waters with itineraries ranging from three to seven nights between October 2026 and April 2027, stopping at Catalina Island in California, as well as Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Lone Star State Magic
Late 2026 and early 2027 will welcome an extended season of Disney cruising from Texas. The Disney Magic will set sail from the Lone Star State with four-, five- and seven-night voyages from November 2026 to April 2027, visiting the sandy beaches of Cozumel and the historic sights of Progreso, Mexico. Several itineraries also include a Bahamian vacation with time at Disney Castaway Cay and Nassau. Guests will enjoy picturesque views, relaxing days listening to the ocean waves and beautiful cities with rich culture and exquisite food.
Themed Sailings
Whether spooky or merry, there is nothing like celebrating the holidays at sea with festive décor, themed activities and decadent treats. Family-favorite themed sailings return on select itineraries aboard the domestic Disney Cruise Line ships, with Halloween on the High Seas, from September to October 2026, and Very Merrytime Cruises, from November to December 2026.
In addition, there will be five ships sailing from Florida and the return of three- and four-night cruises on the Disney Adventure from Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore.

What do you think of Disney Cruise Line’s Fall 2026 and Early 2027 itinerary announcement? Which sailing or sailings do you want to book?
They seemed to mess up the magic based on your screen shots. Those 7 nights listed one way to San Juan from Galveston can’t be correct. That has to be a round trip from Galveston. Example being the cruise that ends on 4/25. That wound end in San Juan but then leave Galveston on the same day to do its Panama sailing to San Diego.
Good morning – I just want to call to your attention that the booking dates you have noted in your email and this post are incorrect. Pearl booking day is actually August 25.
I am so happy to see the Wonder return to San Diego for Halloween and Christmas cruises! This is what I have been waiting and hoping for. Thank you Scott for giving us all the info.
Thanks for the breaking news! I’ve been checking daily since June for these to release. I wish the dynamic pricing made more sense. For example, the October 5th sailing of the Wish is more expensive than the other weeks that month but only goes to one of the private islands.
Hi Scott. I noticed the 7 night Wonder out of San Diego on 11/22/26 has different ports listed on the DCL site than what’s listed here. They have it as Mazatlan, Cabo, and Ensenada (no Puerto Vallarta).
I do have some obvious errors that I need to clean up today. However, I will verify each itinerary on Monday when the dust settles and the actual itineraries with exact port order for each sailing are available to view on DCL’s website.
I know it’s an innocent mistake but this is now the second itinerary announcement I’ve read off this site, which I love, where I got excited for DCL to be visiting San Francisco again only to find out its incorrect and they aren’t going there. I wish DCL would go back to so many places including: San Francisco, New York, Canada and Bermuda.
Thank you for doing this. The Dream needs a correction for April 2027 repositions from San Juan to Port Canaveral not Fort Lauderdale which I think this feeds the Fleet sailing schedule which also needs a correction of the Dream back to Port Canaveral while Wish is gone.
I noticed there’s a missing itinerary for the Wonder for October 13. It’s not listed on the DCL website. It looks like it would be a 5 night. Is it possible DCL is holding it back for a private cruise or DVC, etc?
Magic and Wonder sail on for another year.
Waiting on the Adventure for spring 27…

I scratched my head, will just let the dust settle and figure it all out once I can check the actual itineraries when they go on sale.

I’ve come up for air and made a lot of corrections in the article.
Appreciate all of your efforts. We heard the news from you before Disney!
No NYC again. Very sad
That was my same reaction. Was hoping ’26 would be the return.
Thank you all the work you put into doing this!
Thank you for doing this! Note your Wonder 5-Night San Diego to Vancouver Cruise on 9/28/26 should be the other way around. Vancouver to San Diego.
And no SF port stop, based on DCL’s website. That would’ve been cool though! Thx Scott, for sharing and updating all of this!
Surprised no South America…with all the ships in the fleet, South America would be a great way to expand destinations.
I am so happy to see the Wonder return to San Diego for Halloween and Christmas cruises! This is what I have been waiting and hoping for. Thank you Scott for giving us all the info.
And another batch of uninspiring itineraries… I can’t believe they waited so long for that.
No NYC, No Canada, No Bermuda, Boring pattern destination. Hey Disney, What is wrong with you?
Yep!

DCL website states the april 23, 2027 sailing on the Dream fron San Juan ends in PC, your daily schedule lists it in FLL.
The 4/25/27 Westbound Panama Canal on the Magic needs a correction. You are missing the first port stop of Cozumel, Mexico.
I noticed there’s a missing itinerary for the Wonder for October 13. It’s not listed on the DCL website. It looks like it would be a 5 night. Is it possible DCL is holding it back for a private cruise or DVC, etc?
The October 13th sailing is one of the few dates that are not currently available to book even when they new dates go on sale.
