Overview
- Effective January 2, 2026, new cruise reservations can no longer include Walt Disney World resort stays or theme park tickets.
- Existing bookings that already include those add-ons remain intact unless guests change the hotel, room type, or trip length, which triggers cancellation and separate rebooking.
- Ground transfers between Walt Disney World resorts and Port Canaveral continue as cruise add-ons, and select partner hotel stays like the Hyatt Regency Orlando and Hilton Cocoa Beach remain available.
- Disney cites access to dynamic pricing and limited-time deals through Walt Disney World channels as the reason for the shift, with potential savings offset by extra planning across separate systems.
- Reaction from travelers is mixed, and travel agents are adjusting workflows to help guests coordinate split land-and-sea itineraries, with note that cruise protection plans no longer cover former WDW add-ons.
