DCL To Get 3rd Ship

[Sarangel]

From Jim Hill Media:

Now let's connect the dots. Matt Ouimet, former president of the Disney Cruise Line, moves to California and becomes president of Disneyland. Disney Cruise Line announces West Coast cruises during Disneyland's 50th anniversary. West Coast cruises are very popular and sell out quickly at full rack rate. One West Coast cruise is not publicized because it's shortened by one day for some kind of "special press event" to be held on its normal sailing date. The "Disney Magic" is held in the port of Los Angeles on a Saturday for this "special press event". No details about the "special press event" are available. Clandestine negotiations occur between Disney and several Italian shipyards.

According to the very best information we have to date, we anticipate that the Disney Cruise Line will announce -- on July 16, 2005, from on board the "Disney Magic" in the port of Los Angeles -- the addition of a third ship to the Disney fleet. This yet-unnamed ship will set sail in 2007, and will operate from the port of Los Angeles during the summer months and join its sister ships for Caribbean cruises in the winter. This additional ship will also allow Disney to add more special cruises to its schedule, such as the wildly popular 10-night Christmas cruise and itineraries to other destinations not currently served by Disney Cruise Line.

Remember that you heard it here first, folks.

Sure would be nice for us Left Coasters...

You beat me to it!
I posted the link to the article over on the cruise board.
It would be nice to add some more berths to the DCL lineup. Prices out East are really getting high making other cruise lines much more attractive.
