2018 Watch: All 2018 Itineraries are announced as of May 11th, 2017!

My TA emailed me a while ago and said they thought it was going to be after 10 a.m. today -- but nothing yet!

Time for a new TA.

ok, just a question, you are all talking about times when Disney announces itineraries, opens up bookings etc ... for those of us who live in different timezones, can someone say WHAT timezone you are talking about, New York Time, LA time etc, so that we can then work out what time that is where we live... thanks very much with a cherry ontop

If you are referring to my post, I was referring to EDT (Im in NY).

 

[BadPinkTink]

thanks @PirateFrank it just gets confusing when people dont say the timezone as I am in Europe, 5 hours ahead of New York, 8 hours ahead of LA.

I'd say most references to time with Disney posting things are Eastern time in the US, as most of their operations are in Florida, right? (Of course, this wouldn't necessarily be the case when referring to port departure times from ports other than Port Canaveral).

 

[SillyInventor]

Well, Disney also operates resorts in LA, HongKong, Tokyo, Shanghai and Paris...
But for WDW and DCL: yes, Eastern Time is the standard.

 

[BadPinkTink]

thank you @SillyInventor and @Raptor83 now added into my cruise planning notes

On another site, they are hinting that only Wonder and Magic bookings are about to be released.

Plus, afaik Disney Cruise Line offices are based in Orlando (eastern time zone)

Highly unlikely. The Dream/Fantasy itineraries are the easier ones to figure out and have probably been known much longer than the Magic/Wonder.

Hey guys, first-time poster here! I've been following this one for a while...patiently awaiting the release of spring break 2018 itineraries! Thanks first to all those who are keeping everyone in the loop by sharing their historical intel and the thoughts of their TAs. I can't wait to get it all booked up on opening day!

I'm surprising my family with this trip - planning on unveiling it to them at Christmas 2017. Keeping it to myself is hard so I look forward to having people I can talk to about it! If anyone has any good ideas on how to surprise my family, I'm all ears!

Time for a new TA.

That's not my TA's fault. She stated that the games Disney plays with itinerary announcements anymore is beyond frustrating. Would not change them for a minute -- every sailing they have gotten me the exact room I wanted and great OBC.

Who knows with Disney anymore -- they seem to like to stir the pot with keeping us waiting -- or springing the opening on us by one day! Can't wait to see how much more frustrating this all gets when they have six ships in service.

Which TA do you use?

Best thing to do if you can swing it is book opening day and then reshop on board. If it is cheaper, cancel the original booking. Only downside is having to swing two deposits while you wait for them to refund the first one.

Can they not transfer the money from the old booking on the ship to a new booking
