That's what the email I received 11 minutes ago said.....According to a TA friend, they just received this notice through Disney Destinations:
Beginning Sept. 23, 2022, for sailings aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish and Disney Wonder and beginning Nov. 7, 2022, for sailings aboard the Disney Magic, fully vaccinated Guests are no longer required to participate in COVID-19 testing in order to sail. Guests who are NOT fully vaccinated must continue providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken one to 3 days before the sail date. However, Guests who are not fully vaccinated will no longer be required to complete a second test at the terminal on embarkation day.
I hope this is the correct info.
This is from one of the initial "wrong" emails that went out. This would all be hilarious if it weren't so infuriatingCOVID-19 Testing for Guests Fully Vaccinated: For sailings aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish and Disney Wonder through September 22, 2022, fully vaccinated Guests must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result (paid for by the Guest) taken one to 2 days before their sail date to be exempt from embarkation testing at the terminal. Completing pre-trip testing prior to embarkation day enhances the efficiency of boarding and confirms that you are negative for COVID-19 prior to traveling to the terminal. Pre-trip test results must be uploaded into the Inspire Diagnostics Safe Passage website by midnight prior to embarkation day.
For sailings aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish and Disney Wonder beginning September 23, 2022 (and Disney Magic beginning November 7, 2022), fully vaccinated Guests will no longer be required to complete a second COVID-19 test at the terminal on embarkation day.
This is the best part to me. In the "After Sept 23" part, they say fully vaccinated no longer require a second test at terminal. But literally in the paragraph above that for the "Pre Sept 23" part, they say a test taken one to 2 days before sail will allow you "to be exempt from embarkation testing at the terminal."
Great knowledge of your rules there Disney!
My thoughts have been it would be dropped after Bermuda cruises. Looks like my think maybe rightWe have to do this for Bermuda. A test 2 days prior to boarding and then another 2 days prior to ARRIVAL in Bermuda, which means we have to get tested at the port or first day onboard. Have not gotten confirmation from DCL as to where/when the 2nd test will happen. And Bermuda looks to be the reason the Magic's date is different.
shouts across the hallSounds like a bunch of miscommunication amongst the communication team.
Looks like this is the latest one that's going out. Hilarious since I'm on the September 19 sailing.

I'd be lying if I said this isn't how things like this work...shouts across the hall
"Hey Fred, I'm about to send this email to thousands of people about a serious public health issue. Did you say vaccinated or UN vaccinated?"
Fred: "UN. I'm going to Starbucks you want anything?"
"Ok, vaccinated. Got it." clicks send
Looks like vaccinated guests will no longer be required to test prior to cruising starting September 23rd for all cruises except the Magic. Magic will start November 7th.
Also guests not fully vaccinated will only need to take one test 3 days before sail date.
EDIT: Looks like an email coming out from Disney now saying the first emails were incorrect information. Still looks like the same rules.
SECOND EDIT: Another follow up email was sent confirming the original information. Looks like it IS true.
My daughter and I both just received that same email.According to a TA friend, they just received this notice through Disney Destinations:
Beginning Sept. 23, 2022, for sailings aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish and Disney Wonder and beginning Nov. 7, 2022, for sailings aboard the Disney Magic, fully vaccinated Guests are no longer required to participate in COVID-19 testing in order to sail. Guests who are NOT fully vaccinated must continue providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken one to 3 days before the sail date. However, Guests who are not fully vaccinated will no longer be required to complete a second test at the terminal on embarkation day.
I hope this is the correct info.
Imagine getting denied boarding on the Sept. 19 sailing with no symptoms, knowing there would be no testing on the next one.Yeah because you know that extra few days, or month makes a difference lol I swear these things make no sense. Starting 1 month from now, no testing.. Just start it now
