Fall 2026 itineraries

[Kit21]

Sooooo. The wild speculation has been that this week either yesterday ( didn’t happen)
Or tomorrow is the day. Having said that, is the board going to go into meltdown tomorrow if they aren’t released. And then is it all up in the air as to when they are released?

Yes, probably more meltdown than already .

The next speculation after tomorrow is D23 in 2(?) Weeks. Though there is always Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week for people to place their hopes on.

Meltdown? No. Frustrated and annoyed if not tomorrow? Yup.

Also if not tomorrow I must put on my clown makeup because that will be twice I was certain and wrong.

I do think that if its not tomorrow it will be after D23 but I'm prepping my big shoes and shiny red nose because I have been wrong before.

Tomorrow makes sense to me.... I don't think they would want to do it the week prior to D23 or Labor Day weekend.

If I recall correctly some of the classic ships (Wonder? Magic?) don't even make it all the way through September with their existing itineraries, but I could be wrong...

NOW, LET'S NOT START THAT AGAIN!! I'm weary of the process now and some of the fun has drifted away for me. We'll see.....

Also, the Dream's last sailing in Europe is the British Isles from September 7-14.

I know it’s a different site for DCL but the Disney site is already crashing today because reservations open for the Beak and Barrel, but would they really announce today and watch DCL crash as well. It would be a very busy day for Disney IT. although every day is probably a busy day for the poor Disney IT team

 

[Kit21]

Not today either then

I'm not built for this kind of waiting game!

Given it generally just takes a very, very, slight breeze to get the Disney IT Gremlins acting up, I don't think it really matters what they do or dont do on the same day.

At this point they better have some interesting new itineraries. The fans who book on drop are starting to lose their excitement or even make other vacation plans. A slate of same old, same old will go over like a lead balloon and cause bookings to get even softer.

Agree 100%. Saw on this site yesterday that two 4 night cruises over Christmas Day are already selling at guarantee rates. If they just keep doing the same thing that isn’t working it won’t be good for DCL

We actually bit the bullet and booked a MSC Seashore yacht club cruise next fall and a Princess cruise to Norway in 2027. They were having good sales this weekend. We are planners and when traveling with multiple family it takes time to get everyone’s schedule lined up. We still might hit a Disney cruise in late 2026, but after booking these two who knows. I know I am just one person but other people are planners as well and DCL is losing money here by waiting to release their itineraries.

I wouldn’t pity the Disney IT “team.”

Same here. At this point, I’m following along for the sport of it lol. We have moved on and made other plans.

I got similar Princess email for Alaska summer 2027 the other day. My thoughts were wow they already have Alaska 2027 available and DCL can’t even get past September 2026 let alone when they do release summer 2027 won’t even be part of that

I don't believe it would crash today. They'd just post them today. Booking wouldn't be til next week. But, you're right....they're not making many friends today. Cruise or Parks.

We just booked a 3-night on the Dream (Dec. 19th) with a FL Resident discount and it was pretty substantial ($1,700 savings). I looked at the guaranteed rates for the Christmas week Wish/Dream sailings and it's crazy how much lower they were ($6519 vs. $9172 for the Wish). I bet DCL is trying to book up as much as they can right now, but delaying the itineraries beyond next September won't help either since more and more people on here have said they are booking other cruise lines. Some have 2028 itineraries out!! DCL has 13 months available right now. Crazy!
