I fully agree with this!!

A Disney Cruise Line vacation is always the answer! ✨

09/02/2026

Alaska cruises offer endless excursions and adventures BUT let’s be honest, it’s overwhelming looking at all of the options and figuring out what’s worth the cost, what will bore the kids, and what’s just a little bit too extreme for them. So, when I sailed on back to back Disney Cruises to Alaska this summer, I thought why not maximize our time in port and try all of the excursions that everyone wonders about? Then I asked my kids to rate it. Swipe through for our first hand reviews in the captions + in order from least favorite to favorite!

Before you go, let me introduce myself! I’m Steph, owner of Steph | Disney Expert | Travel Agent in Canada a Vancouver based Disney Authorized Travel Agency. We help our clients sail to Alaska with ease thanks to our concierge service and first hand knowledge of Disney Cruise Line, Alaska, and of course the departure port Vancouver. We really go the extra mile for our clients - as evidenced by the thousands I spent “for research” in Alaska this summer 😉

For my fellow Canadians, there are also Vancouver → San Diego sailings in September 2027 and San Diego → Vancouver sailings in spring 2028. 🇨🇦

Looking ahead to Spring Break 2028? There are plenty of sailings around late March, so you can start planning now.

A few others I’m excited about:

🇬🇧 12-night Transatlantic on the Disney Wish - Southampton to New York with 2 days in Reykjavik + St. John’s, Newfoundland

Disney Cruise Line pricing is based on supply and demand, so booking earlier means better pricing and a better selection of stateroom locations and dining preferences.

For non-Concierge staterooms, deposits are fully refundable until final payment, so you can secure your sailing at low risk while you finalize your plans.

If you need help figuring out which ship, itinerary or stateroom is right for you, my team at Glow With Me Adventures would love to help.

We’re a Canadian small business and Authorized Disney Travel Agency, and our planning support is complimentary when you book your Disney vacation with us.

🚢 DISNEY CRUISE LINE FALL 2027 TO SPRING 2028 IS NOW AVAILABLE!

If you want to soak up the sunshine and cruise to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico or even be extra adventurous and cruise from Singapore, it’s time to start planning!

Hi, I’m Steph! 👋 I’m a Disney Cruise Line specialist and I’ve sailed on every Disney Cruise Line ship, including the Adventure in Singapore. My team and I have built our own resources from our firsthand experience, including a comprehensive Disney Cruise Line guide and customized itineraries for our clients. We’re here to help you make the most of the entire experience, not just make the booking 💕

The new itineraries have brought some exciting updates such as a new home port in New York City for a limited time, Eastern Canada ports of call, lots of Southern Caribbean sailings and a rotation of ships through the seasons in Florida. Just picture the amazing back-to-back options when you could try out different ships!

🎉Sailings will be available to book starting next week, with general public bookings opening September 8. Check out the link in my stories or comment DCL2728 and I’ll PM you our quote request form!

Why book early? The biggest reason is that Disney Cruise Line pricing is typically at its lowest when sailings are first released. As the ship fills, prices increase, so booking early can mean significant savings.

But it’s not just about the price. Booking early gives you first access to the best staterooms before they start booking up and the best chance of securing your preferred dining time. If early seating at 5:45 PM is important for your family, booking as soon as itineraries are released can make a big difference.

And here’s the best part: if Disney releases a special offer later on and your reservation qualifies, 👏 your price will be adjusted while keeping the best stateroom and preferred dining time you’ve already secured. 👏

10% deposit that’s fully refundable - huge reward!

Where are you dreaming of sailing to in late 2027? I’m personally eyeing up a Very Merrytime Southern Caribbean and the 7-night Eastern Canada from New York City!

Disney Cruise Line Fall 2027 through Spring 2028 Release!!
What’s NEW & What I’m Excited About After Obsessively Digging Into The Options

🎉 Fall 2027 + Spring 2028 Disney Cruise Line itineraries are HERE! 🎉

I’ve gone through the entire release and there are a LOT of sailings and new options to sort through.

Rather than give you a giant list of dates, here are the things that jumped out at me and the sailings I think are worth paying looking at.

🇨🇦 TWO Vancouver → San Diego sailings!

Vancouver friends, this is exciting!

We have two Disney ships sailing from Vancouver to San Diego in September 2027 and San Diego to Vancouver in April/May 2028!

🚢 Disney Magic — September 16, 2027
🚢 Disney Wonder — September 20, 2027
🚢 Disney Magic — San Diego → Vancouver, April 21 (early arrival 🤔 I wonder if there’s going to be another dry dock)
🚢 Disney Wonder — San Diego → Vancouver, May 4

Both are 4-night Pacific Coast sailings with three sea days. I love this option for Vancouverites because you can build a California vacation around Disneyland and then cruise your way home to Vancouver or cruise to California and go to Disneyland after.

Also - does this mean Vancouver is getting double ships Magic & Wonder for a third Alaska season in 2028?! Both arrive earlier than the Alaska season usually starts, so I’m curious to see what happens when Alaska 2028 gets released (by the way, join my new group to learn more about that -

⸻

🛳️ The Panama Canal is back!

The Disney Magic has TWO 14-night Panama Canal crossings:

➡️ November 4, 2027 — San Diego → Galveston
➡️ March 26, 2028 — Galveston → San Diego

These are BIG itineraries with a lot of sea days and some bucket-list ports along the way. There’s an exciting new port of call in Panama!

And that March 26 sailing falls over spring 2028…

⸻

🌸 Spring Break 2028 planning starts NOW

If you have a late-March spring break, there are some great options ranging from shorter Bahamian cruises to 7-night Caribbean sailings, Mexican Riviera/Baja options and, if you want to go BIG, that 14-night Panama Canal sailing.

If you already know your school’s spring break dates, this is the time to start looking
and locking in before the prices climb.

This gives you lots of time to plan hotels, search for seat sales, and get excited.

⸻

🇬🇧 The Disney Wish is crossing the Atlantic!

The Disney Wish will sail 12 nights from Southampton to New York on September 17, 2027.

The itinerary includes:

🇬🇧 Southampton
🏴 Greenock
🇮🇸 2 days in Reykjavik
🇨🇦 St. John’s, Newfoundland
🌊 7 sea days
🇺🇸 New York

A Transatlantic on the Disney Wish with a stop in Newfoundland sounds like a DREAM!

⸻

🍁 Disney Cruise Line has some GREAT Canada & New England options

The Wish has a 5-night Canada & New England Halloween on the High Seas sailing with:

🍁 St. John
🇺🇸 Boston

And a 7-night Canada Halloween on the High Seas sailing with:

🍁 Charlottetown
🍁 Sydney
🍁 Halifax

If you’re a Canadian who has never considered DCL for an East Coast cruise, these deserve a spot on your list.

⸻

🎄 A Southern Caribbean Very Merrytime cruise!

This one is top of my list. I’ve been itching to do another Very Merrytime and I LOVE this itinerary!

The Disney Wish has a 7-night Southern Caribbean Very Merrytime sailing on December 3, 2027, visiting:

🇦🇼 Aruba
🇨🇼 Curaçao
🇩🇲 Dominica
🇦🇬 Antigua

A week in the Southern Caribbean AND Christmas on Disney Cruise Line? 🎄🌴

This is very different from the typical Bahamian Very Merrytime cruise and I think it’s going to be a popular option for families looking for a holiday cruise that feels a little more like a big vacation.

Aruba, Curaçao, Dominica and Antigua is a pretty fantastic lineup.

⸻

🏝️ LOOKOUT CAY + CASTAWAY CAY combinations!

This is one of the biggest things I’m noticing from this release.

There are SO many combinations that include Disney’s two Bahamian destinations:

✨ Castaway Cay
✨ Lookout Cay
✨ Castaway Cay + Lookout Cay
✨ Lookout Cay + Nassau
✨ Castaway Cay + Lookout Cay + Nassau
✨ And even multiple days at a Disney island

And this is exactly why I always tell people:

DO NOT choose your Disney cruise based on the number of nights alone.

A 4-night cruise can look completely different depending on which ports you’re visiting.

You could even do back to back 4-night cruises that offer very different experiences, and this release has some really fun combinations to choose from.

⸻

🌴 Some seriously good longer Caribbean itineraries

There are some great 6-, 7- and 8-night Caribbean options in this release, including:

🇻🇬 Tortola
🇻🇮 St. Thomas
🇵🇷 San Juan
🇸🇽 St. Maarten
🇦🇬 Antigua
🇦🇼 Aruba
🇨🇼 Curaçao
🇧🇶 Bonaire

And then mix those with Disney’s own Bahamian destinations.
⸻

🇲🇾 Disney Adventure + Langkawi

The Disney Adventure continues sailing from Singapore, with a new 4-night Langkawi itinerary throughout October, November and December 2027.

Having sailed the Disney Adventure myself, I can tell you that Singapore + Disney Adventure is SUCH a different Disney Cruise Line experience.

If Asia is on your travel wish list, consider working in a cruise in Disney Adventure. I just did it last month and I’ll definitely be doing it again!

⸻

🇲🇽 The West Coast continues Baja Mexico

The Magic and Wonder have a great mix of Baja and Mexican Riviera sailings, including:

🇲🇽 Ensenada
🇲🇽 Cabo San Lucas
🇲🇽 Puerto Vallarta
🇲🇽 Mazatlán
🇺🇸 Catalina

Plus Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime versions of several itineraries.

Hopefully we get a ship shake up on the West Coast at some point but it’s looking like Magic and Wonder will be West Coast at least through Alaska 2028!

Let’s Summarize Top Picks

As I am making my own list from this release, these are at the top of my list:

🇨🇦 Vancouver → San Diego & San Diego → Vancouver
Pacific Coastals are always a hit! Two ships, slightly varied sailing dates depending on what works best with scheduling.

🌸 March 2028
Spring Break planning already?! Amazing for the early planners!

🛳️ 14-night Panama Canal crossings
Two directions on the Disney Magic. Incredible and unique ports (Panama?!?!)

🇬🇧 12-night Transatlantic on the Wish
Southampton to New York with Edinburgh, Iceland and Newfoundland. I could cry, this one is so unique and intriguing.

🍁 Canada & New England
Especially the 7-night itinerary with Charlottetown, Sydney and Halifax.

🎄 Southern Caribbean Very Merrytime
Aruba + Curaçao + Dominica + Antigua? Yes please!!

🏝️ Castaway Cay + Lookout Cay combinations
There are some great options if the simplicity of Disneys islands in the Bahamas appeal to you!

🌴 Longer Caribbean sailings
Especially the ones with a mix of Disney islands + multiple Caribbean ports.

🇲🇾 Disney Adventure + Langkawi
A very different DCL vacation and one I’m excited to see more people discover.

Ok Disney fans, what sailings have caught your eye?!

HERE IT IS!
🍎🍁🍃🚢

We’ve got New York, we’ve got Bermuda, we’ve got Boston, we’ve got way more Southern Caribbean, we’ve got EASTERN CANADA!

And one epic transatlantic that includes Edinburgh, Iceland and St John’s Newfoundland as Disney Wish makes her way from Southampton to New York in September 2027!

I’ll be going through the itineraries and getting a good handle on things over the next few hours & I’ll post a recap of the best sailings, the ones that I think will book up fast, and the best deals. Plus, the booking dates which will go in order of Castaway Club status!

What are you most excited for?

Stay tuned - what an exciting day!

🤯 but also thank you DCL for dropping the next itineraries the same day Disneyland 2027 opens up. Couldn’t have planned things even a day apart?!

08/25/2026

It’s looking like the rumors are true and Disney Cruise Line just might be returning to New York City! We will find out officially tomorrow and I cannot wait. I’ve been dreaming about watching live theater on Broadway and then going on a Disney cruise and watching Broadway quality theater at Sea.

How about you? Would you be interested in sailing from New York City? Where do you think the ship will go? Bermuda, Eastern Canada, there are so many options!

I have been to New York City twice, including going to fulfill a childhood dream of seeing Annie on Broadway. We were so lucky that Miss Hannigan was performed by a celebrity, do you recognize her?
