Disney Cruise Line and Port Canaveral have a long history of expansion and terminal upgrades, with notable agreements in 2019 to expand operations and upgrade Terminals 8 and 10 to accommodate new ships, and to establish Port Canaveral as a homeport for multiple Disney vessels. These arrangements included enhanced call guarantees and preferential use of Terminal 10 for a third Disney ship, alongside terminal improvements aimed at supporting growth.[1][2][3]

Following the 2019 agreement, Disney planned and executed terminal enhancements to support the Disney Wish’s 2022 debut and the broader fleet expansion, including terminal refurbishments and waterside/landside improvements at Cruise Terminals 8 and 10 to accommodate growth in vessel size and capacity. There were also reports of Disney testing sailings and ongoing port upgrades around the same period to ensure readiness for new ships and increased calls.[3][4][5]

In subsequent years, Port Canaveral continued to integrate Disney ships into operations, including welcoming newer vessels like the Disney Treasure in 2024, which reflects ongoing collaboration between Disney and the port authority to expand Disney Cruise Line’s presence at Canaveral. The port's ongoing news page also indicates continuing updates on Disney-related activities and terminal developments as part of its larger cruise operations program.[9][10]
