Latest News About Disney Cruise Line, Port Of Galveston - Cruise Terminal 25

Here’s the latest publicly reported information I can confirm about Disney Cruise Line and Port of Galveston Terminal 25:

• Port updates in 2025 noted traffic reroutes at Galveston Terminals 25 and 28 due to road work, with specific entry points for cruise traffic to Terminal 25 via 23rd Street and Terminal 28 via 33rd Street through December 5, 2025. This affects access for Disney ships operating out of Terminal 28 as part of the shared use, and is part of broader port expansion efforts.[1][3][7]
• Disney Cruise Line has publicly discussed expanding operations in Galveston, including moves toward year-round service starting in 2027, and the port has planned to open additional cruise terminal capacity to accommodate growing demand. Reports from port officials and industry outlets in 2025-2026 indicated Disney’s intent to increase Galveston presence, potentially with a larger ship for year-round itineraries from Galveston.[2][4][5][6][7]
