No wbta 2013 - Page 99 - The DIS Discussion Forums

I fear that is now the answer as it is less than 12 months to the expected date, bearing in mind that previous years have been released almost two years in advance.
This is one of the reasons we have settled on WDW for September 2013 so we are not caught out last minute trying to find an alternative

Liesbeth we were planning on the 3 night Dream cruise from 26th-29th September , but we may be at WDW the same time?

Here it is, less then 2 months until 2013 and yet when I went to the DCL site to order a planning DVD for my sister, I got the following message
"The 2013 Disney Cruise Line Vacation Planning DVD is currently in production and will be ready for release very soon. While the delivery of your DVD may be temporarily delayed, rest assured that your DVD will arrive in the mail in the near future. Thank you for your patience and your interest in Disney Cruise Line."
My guess is they pulled the DVD for major changes. I have read that recently, changes have been made to itineraries on scheduled 2013 cruises. Maybe they are rethinking a lot of 2013. Hope they get done "thinking" real soon.

I recently read that the drydock will be in Cadiz, Spain: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3022624

**I see you posted on that thread as well! Time will tell!

I think the most important info is that she is getting a facelift and we all agree it will be about 6 weeks...........I don't care if they do it at MaryKay - lol. Anxious to see if she will still be "our" Magic and if they might allow some hitchihikers to cross with her!

I just wanted to inform you that I have just increased your chances for a WBTA by... oh, about 1000% (of course, 0 plus 1000% is still 0 but that would mean splitting hairs, right?).

How? I have booked a TA on Celebrity Eclipse.

Usually, if I do something, something even better pops up.

I order something online? You can be sure, next day it goes on sale. 90% off. Or I get an unexpected gift card for just that store in the mail. Or an email, offering 20% off my next purchase. Or free shipping.

I book a TA on Celebrity? Pay a 10% non-refundable deposit? Of course, three days later I get a newsletter... that they now include a classic drinks package if you book a cruise with them (that was after the UK offer had been available for a few days). New bookings only, of course. Canceling and rebooking (which would have made sense, even losing the deposit) not allowed. Our travel agent's advice? Cancel the newsletter, the offers will even get better. Well. Thanks

[Yes, I am happy with the price we paid for the cabin we picked and I don't need a package that includes alcoholic drinks but still...]

Conclusion?
I assume there will be a WBTA for a great price with a very special and wonderful itinerary on a completely refurbished Magic, you will all be on it and I will be extremely jealous

Have your travel agent call Celebrity again! Someone on my Jan. 2014 Celebrity Solstice Australia/NZ cruise was able to get the beverage package added to her reservation, and her travel agent didn't have to cancel and rebook. I know the web site says for cruises booked Jan. 7-27 - but Celebrity often doesn't stick closely to their rules!

So like everyone else, we have had to make other plans.
We are at WDW in September and are going on the Fantasy Eastern Caribbean for a week from 21st. Anyone else with us? - it seems a very quiet roll-call. We will miss all the wonderful DIS meets and activities - hopefully there will be another Western Transatlantic in 2014.

Better to start a NEW thread, as there's too much to wade through before getting to this point.
