April 6th dcl announcement

[firstcruise]

No way would an around the world cruise be considered. On top of kids not being in school can you imagine what a ticket would cost? $25,000 a person for a cheap cabin? Would be quite an expense to say the least.

The latest news we are hearing is that the new itineraries will be announced April 6 at 12:30PM Eastern time. Platinum and Gold Castaway Club members can begin booking on 4/7 and general public will begin on 4/11.

Any news, if there is going to be an internet stream that we can watch/listen?

WOW! What a brutal bunch!

Tell me about it . . . Good Lord . . . some people just take things way too seriously!

For the last time, my post was not meant to be showboating/a look at who I know/malicious/childish/in your face/pretentious/insert adjective here at all. I simply was trying to share my excitement with people I thought might appreciate it. I have been on this board for 11 years, and rarely comment as you can see by my stats. I generally just like to see what people are saying, and like to pick up on some info. Comments of "don't you read the news" are clearly meant to be a joke, and not a personal attack. Clearly, I don't believe that anyone doesn't know whats going on in the world in this day and age. However, also clearly, people take things WAY to personally, and view everything as a personal affront. I enjoy the guessing game when things like this pop up (See: every rumored DVC project). There had been speculation about a DVC in Hawaii since, I believe, 1998, and guessing was fun.

To think that I am just being mean is unjust, and frankly unwarranted. I wanted to get people guessing again because someone is going to crack this code. Like I said before, some of you are on the right track, and the writing is on the wall. The clues are there, and I'm not talking about any by myself. I am talking about what Disney has done. If you think about this to yourself, and think "what would be really cool for them to do given A and B" you might get it.

This is supposed to be good news folks.

My guess after looking at the maps and thinking what I would think would be interesting to me.

Wonder to Fiji
Magic out of NY to summer Olympics London, Ireland summer (this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I think it would be booked solid in a snap) would love a side trip to Paris DL too! (they even could do a one way for this trip)

Magic out of Gavelston fall

Dream & Fantasy same (this is not a guess from what I have read)

 

[mrsklamc]

Ok given Aulani... would they circle Hawaii and just tender everywhere?

My guess -

One ship (I was betting the Magic until the Wonder's name popped up on the port schedule) goes to Hawaii, stopping at Oahu on May 6-7, then Kauai on May 7, before embarking on a voyage to to Asia with the primary destination being Hong Kong, since DCL has touted its investment in China as being as significant or more significant than it's purchase of land in Florida many years ago. Prior to the tsunami, I was also betting that they would include a stop in Japan, which hopefully will still be possible given we're talking well over a year away, but who knows. Perhaps the ships stays over there and sails out of an Asian port for the summer, tying in the Asian Disney parks before reversing the process in September, with a final stop at Oahu or Kauai in mid-September before sailing back home to Galveston to start sailing modified Western Caribbean routes.

The other ship sails out of NYC, with perhaps some side trips to the eastern med. to satisfy all of us looking for Greece as a stop. They could start sailing out of Baltimore to start driving interest in the planned resort at National Harbor that Disney was planning to build, but given nothing has started on that development, it won't be ready until 2013 or 2014 at the earliest. Baltimore would still give them easy access to the Washington DC tourist area, though DCL already tried and failed once to build a park in the area, so they could be gun shy of moving too quickly into the area.

Or, the 2nd ship could stay within sailing distance of LA, which would give DCL coverage of DL, WDW, and the Asian locations from it's various cruise ships.

Wow that would make alot of sense, a Disney resort at a DCL port! They wouldn't do this at PC or on the west coast bc they want to encourage pre and post Disney park stays. Think we may see a DVC resort in Galveston and Vancover?

 

[Minniemiss]

Here is my guess.
The Wonder will continue with ALaska an Mexico cruises. The Hawaii dates are part of the repo from Mexico to Alaska.

The Dream and Fantasy will cruise out PC just as the Wonder and Magic did.

The Magic will cruise during the summer months to ENgland and Ireland from NY.

The winter months will have it somewhere in the Caribbean, based on the port schedule for the Caymans'.

I am even more excited now about the April 6th announcement. (hopefully that is the day) I was kind of hoping for a surprise.....so now I just have to wait another week..... We would love to sail out of a different port with a little different itinerary.

Thanks for letting us know.

April 6th ties in more closely to what Tai told us onboard the Wonder in January for new release dates - he told me they'd be available around Easter.

I'm super excited at the prospect !

Cheers,
Sally

I just wanted to say "Thanks!". I think you have made this very exciting

Fingers crossed for NY...so sick and tired of the airfare prices these days!! We would be 20 minutes from the port!!! I dont even care where they would be going, just being on the ship would be enough for me!!!

With all the money we would be saving not having to pay the airfare we could cruise twice a month!!!!!!

I know you were . . . and I was just joking . . . I meant no harm or insult at all. . .

Hmmmm, I am starting to think that a previous suggestion that you might be a troll is not unwarranted. Definition: a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response; (someone who posts on a thread to stir up trouble or interject negativity).

It seems that this whole good-natured thread has been hijacked by you with your "supposed" knowledge and insider information, and your "jokes". I find you incredibly rude and self-serving. Hey, I'm just joking can only go so far to smooth over insults and name calling. We'll all find out next week and personally, I say we stop feeding into Buddy's ego and stop playing his guessing game!

Besides, the April 6th announcement was confirmed by several travel agents, so that's not "insider information".

I LOVE watching everyone's interest and enthusiasm about what could be, but not at the cost of being put down for guessing. Lots of great ideas and hopeful suggestions have been made. I remember when rumors were swirling that Disney was going to go to the Med in 2007 and everyone was saying no way, but everyone wished for it

The possibilities are endless with four ships now! Maybe one of them will do an around the world cruise for 60+ days Never know

I like this guess! would lOVE to go to FIJI!!!

 

[CruznLexi]

I am eagerly waiting for Sept Hawaii I just hope they have room for us after Platnium and Gold. I have 4 cruise. We know the Wonder is going to Hawaii I am waiting for the prices before we cancel our Dream cruises!

Ok thanks for the definition of troll because I had no idea what it was. Seriously. However by that definition it is unwarranted, for there seriously was NO intent whatsoever. By your definition, the intent has to be there, and despite what you may think, it wasn't, at all. It was in all seriousness just to feed the excitement. Because . . . it is good news people!

Thank you for proving my point though about people taking things way too seriously, the name calling, and the personal attacks. I understand that humor and a little thing called jest are hard to interpret on a message board, so for that I am at fault and apologize. But at no point have I made this into a personal attack on anyone, some of you are the ones doing that.

I just wanted to get people excited because I am seriously excited about this . . . maybe less so because of the ridiculous responses from this board.
