This is crazy! I didn't book for Easter 2015 since I thought the prices were REALLY high. 2016 is even worse!

Disney Magic 3/24/2016
Cat 10B 3365.1.2 3A1C
Cat 10B 1904.56 2A

Disney Fantasy 3/19/2016

Did not book anything.

Wonder
2/7/16 5-Night Repo San Juan to Miami 2 adults 9B $1821.24

Wow, it looks like the 1/17 date including MLK day is way higher. Your 9B was around $800 pp before taxes? Or am I reading that incorrectly?
 
Disney Wonder

Cat 5B
2A, 2C (ages 6 and 15) total $4846.48

No OBB, transfers, prepaid gratuities, etc

How are the prices stacking up to last year's? Do we have enough to get a ballpark increase?

Since you asked, I went back and looked at my Dec 5, 2015 booking when those were released (I booked Day 1 as a Gold CC member). The itinerary is identical to what I just booked this morning for Jan 30, 2016 (I cancelled the Dec 2015 booking when Tortola was dropped from that itinerary - or DCL released their mistake of putting it on the itinerary when those were initially released).

Here is my Jan 2016 info just booked this morning...
Disney Fantasy
Eastern Caribbean 1/30/16 (Tortola, St. Thomas, Castaway Cay)
Cat #11A (Standard Inside, Deck 9 booked)
2A $1169/$1169 (with taxes fees of $89.68/person, it's $1258.68/$1258.68)
Insurance cost is $187.04
Total Cost $2704.40

Now, looking back at my Dec 5, 2015 booking I made back in May (was that when those were released?), my rates would have been
Disney Fantasy
Eastern Caribbean 12/5/15 (Tortola, St. Thomas, Castaway Cay)
Cat #11A (Standard Inside, Deck 9 booked)
2A $1253/$1253 (with taxes fees of $87.15/person, it was $1340.15/$1340.15)
Insurance cost was $200.48
Total Cost $2880.78

Early December pricing is usually on par with Jan/Feb pricing; I came out better for 2016 than I did for 2015. Go figure. :)
 
Dream 1/11/16 Cat 8D 2A no kids $1553 plus change including taxes. YIKES.

We priced an 11C and B also and it was ~ $100 less.
 
7 night Southern 1/17/16 on the Wonder over MLK

Cat 7a (secret verandah baby!)
2A 1C (age 8 at time of sailing) TOTAL $3,403.86
(Voyage fare (includes OBB 10% off) $3,213.00 & taxes $190.86 - no insurance or transfers)

They also made us put a 20% deposit down, even though we were modifying an OBB made two weeks ago while we were aboard the Magic.......Agent said it was a glitch....

There's no way I'd pay Fantasy spring break prices. YIKES. Looks like we are going to be heading back to St. John in Summer 2016 for a land trip once again!

But if you break it down on a per person/per night basis, it may seem a bit more reasonable/value for your money.

7-Nt. Fantasy 9B: $255.31/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 9B: $244.65/pp/per night
4-Nt. Dream 5E: $255.15/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 9C: $195.07/pp/per night
4-Nt. Magic 5C: $254.57/pp/per night

HTHs! :thumbsup2

That is still a lot. We booked RCCL Oasis 7 night western for Easter week 2016 for 2a 1c in a boardwalk balcony room for $2600 total. We love Disney but that is a huge difference.

I'm saying when comparing Disney cruises to other Disney cruises, breaking it down on a per person/per night basis can help one see that a longer cruise that is obviously more $, actually can be similarly priced to shorter ones based on the pp/per night price. Obviously when you compare DCL to other cruise lines, DCL is almost always going to be more. ;)
 
2 Adults and 2 Children (12+) (no insurance or other add-ons)

3/19/16 - Fantasy Western Itinerary D – 8B - 6888.76

As others have commented...Ouch! The difference in pricing between 2016 and 2011 (our first Disney Cruise) is astounding.
