It looks like the Wonder will be going back to Australia in 2024/25. According to the cruise port schedule that has been released the Wonder is listed.

I got our room at Aualni booked today for before the cruise. We are stopping there on the way to Sydney to break up the long flights. Earlier this week I was able to book our hotel in Sydney, it is getting closer!!!!

 

[JAM9842]

I just booked our flight to Sydney!!!!!

We're about to start the whole booking bonanza... LOL So many one way flights.

 

[JAM9842]

We will have one round trip from Orlando to Honolulu and then one way from Honolulu to Sydney. Flying is not my favorite thing to do (even though my husband is a commercial airplane pilot) so I will be happy when the traveling days are over.

My husband and I are on this cruise as well. Australia is on our bucket list, so we are excited for this cruise. We are actually doing Adventures by Disney before the cruise, and then continuing to cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver. So almost a whole month of Disney magicLooking forward to meeting you all!

Oh my goodness that sounds lovely! We did something similar last fall on the Magic! 19 total days on the cruise ship. I was sooooo sad to leave LOL.
We had considered doing the AbD in Sydney as well, but decided to go see friends in New Zealand instead and just do Sydney for a day and a half on our own.

That's fantastic!!! We love doing the longer cruises. We are doing the B2B Sydney to Hobart and then Sydney to Hawaii, our home state. We will be arriving in Sydney a week earlier and doing it on our own. We toured Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Adelaide and the outback) some years earlier and really enjoyed it.

Here's the hotels Disney is using in Sydney!

"Yes, we do have hotel information for Guests on the South Pacific Repositioning Cruises. In Sydney, we will be offering 2 hotels. They are Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel and Park Hyatt Sydney Hotel. You will have to call us to check availability, obtain pricing, and to book a reservation."

The Marriott is actually really close (4 minutes walk) from the Circular Quay train station. You can hop on the train in the International terminal at the airport.

Thanks for the info

Hey y’all
I’m on this cruise as well and will be doing the Sydney ABD pre-cruise trip as well. Still trying to decide if I want to try Aulani a few days either before or at the end of the cruise.
Very excited as this is my first visit to anywhere in the South Pacific.

Just an update, DCL is only offering one night prior to the cruise in pre-cruise stays. Transfers from the Marriott to the cruise port will be $28 per person.
