New Disney Ships: News, Rumors, Speculation.....and Names!

[RedHead0186]

We were 'meh' about the Wish too and decided to skip it. However, the theming of the Treasure caught our attention enough that we just booked it for next year. It hits a lot of the right notes for us in terms of aesthetics, IP choices (minus Marvel as a dining option), even if the layout doesn't look ideal. I'm glad to hear you loved it.

I hope you enjoy the Treasure!

The Disney Adventure is currently set to have its Float Out on April 19th.

The Disney Adventure has floated out. She still needs the funnels, attractions, lifeboats installed as she would be too tall for the hall with them installed:

Cars-ish land and Villains Land. Don’t just put it all on the Cars part.

Pretty sure Villains Land is beyond Big Thunder. Not where Rivers has been.

Cars isn’t taking up all of what was Rivers of America, Cars is mostly the Tom Sawyer Island circle area between HM and BTM.




Behind that will be the Villains land. Pathway to villains will be between BTM and HM

Most of what’s beyond the railroad will be lay down areas for construction materials. Those will be future expansion areas. Majority of Villains land will be where the existing Rivers of America is.

That’s just from permitting that’s been filed so far.

Makes sense to me. Continue to hope they don't go the Adventure route with cruises to nowhere!

It would make sense if they were incentivized by the government of Japan to at least stop in a few other tourist friendly destinations within Japan.

That makes a lot of sense for them. They can use the same infrastructure (port facilities) for both ships. I'm sure there are lots of good ports around Japan for them to offer different itineraries.

It definitely makes sense to operate more than one ship for efficiency sake.

I personally am not too intrigued by the Destiny. It’ll save me a longer trip down to FLL… that’s good…

"On track" in that language probably means based on sales data for early cruises on the first ship + successful delivery of the first ship (or at least the first few stages of it). Meaning: they probably won't wait until Ship 1 is serving customers, they'll make a determination earlier based on pre-launch metrics.

What kind of royalties does Disney make from OLC? Is that disclosed anywhere? Just curious.

What kind of royalties does Disney make from OLC? Is that disclosed anywhere? Just curious.

After Tokyo Disneyland opened in the 1980's, OLC was paying Disney a 10% royalty on all admission tickets sold and a 5% royalty on all food, beverage, and merchandise sold. I don't know if this agreement is still in place.

I'm sure that there are consultation fees that are paid when new attractions are designed by Imagineering.

Looks like somebody kind of phoned this one in. Talk about boring.

DCL to start sailing year round from Galveston in 2027

Additionally, Rees said that Disney Cruise Line, which began off-season sailings from Galveston in 2012, will sail year-round from the port starting in 2027. He added that Disney may bring in a much larger ship than the Magic as part of the switch.

“Disney may bring in a much larger ship than the Magic as part of the switch.”

Can Galveston fuel the Wish class ships or does this pretty much mean Dream/Fantasy? Would that mean longer sailings? Even though TX is closer to us than FL, I have a hard time justifying sailing with DCL if there’s no private island stop…but I do love the Dream and Fantasy.
