Sure Texas does not have a Walt Disney theme park, but you can still hop aboard one of their Disney Cruises right here in the Lone Star State.

Disney Cruises Have Been Departing from Texas Since 2012

Pictured above is the Disney cruise ship called "The Wonder". Back in 2012, it took its maiden voyage right out of Texas. For over a decade, the Disney Cruise line has been departing out of Galveston, Texas. I am actually planning a cruise in 2025 and decided to see which ones go out of Texas.

This particular cruise only has one port stop out of Galveston and that would be to Progeso, Mexico.

This cruise has two port stops. One in Progreso, Mexico and the other in Cozumel, Mexico.

6 Night Western Caribbean Cruise

This one has four port stops and this time you actually don't just visit Mexico. Cozumel, Mexico...George Town, Grand Cayman...Falmouth, Jamaica...and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

7 Night Bahamian Cruise

This is probably the best of the cruises departing out of Texas because you get to visit both of Disney privately owned islands. Disney Castaway Cay...Nassau, Bahamas...Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point...San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Other Cruises Are Available as Well

Disney does offer special cruises out of Texas like a Christmas themed cruise, but the destinations are all the same as I mentioned above. Plus some have the same port destinations, but get you extra days at sea. I don't know if Texas will ever get a Disney theme park, but this is about as close as you can get right now.

LOOK: Stunning vintage photos capture the beauty of America's national parks

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
