How are the Disney Aventure sales going?

We actually don’t usually sail concierge stateside (though we do love cabanas)— you may be correct, but it’s ironic because HKDL was the first place I ever encountered paid fast pass (around 2008) and SDL was also pay for premier access by the time it opened… but those concierge prices are steep!

We are going in early January (assuming that the geopolitical situation doesn’t get much more chaotic).

I completely understand—the flip side is that concierge gets first dibs on everything— this is a huge ship so we were worried that we might not get to do the speciality dining and other once in a lifetime activities — also hoping we’ll get reserved seats in shows and other perks that exist on other DCL sailings. It might free up time to do more if it comes with line skipping perks.

So true. We are going to be visiting most of the Asian parks on the trip (and are DLR locals) so I’m hoping to avoid ultra long meet and greet waits on a short sailing, but it will be hard for my kids to resist Duffy & Friends if they get unique DCL outfits. Does Concierge normally do private meet and greets?

I am very much looking forwards to your report, as we'll be going shortly after.

The pricing on the Disney Adventure sailings seem so much cheaper than comparable US sailings. Obviously, a US resident has to travel a long way to get there, and the ship is much bigger, but I find it interesting nevertheless. I know Tokyo Disneyland is much cheaper than the US parks. Is this to do with the typical income (and discretionary income) available to the target market, or some other reason?

Two comparable 4 night cruises, both inside cabins, for March 2026, 3 guests
Wish - $5496 (March 16-20)
Adventure - $2714 (March 19-23)

Are Australia Wonder cruises typically much cheaper than US cruises?

We added this on to 24 nights of Princess cruises. I told my husband we can get the cheapest inside stateroom, because I just wanted to go. Well, that fell by the wayside, because the cheapest inside staterooms do not have beds!!! (They have two futons!) And they were less than 165 sq. ft., so we bumped up to a deluxe inside, which is still smaller than an inside on any of the other Disney ships. I've also heard than the ceilings are lower to be more accommodating to the size of their Asian passengers. We will see!

I think you will get some returning guests for the Magic, but the biggest variable is the falling Australian dollar. After tariffs it dropped to .60c, it's not unreasonable to think the currency will be rocky possibly dipping into the .50's. That will hurt Disney substantially.

Agree that doesnt help either. Back up to 63 cents now. But still very low.
