Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

The Disney Wonder is returning to Australia for the 2025-26 season. The NSW Port Authority shows it arriving on 17 Oct 2025 and departing on 2 Feb 2026. I was hoping that it wouldn't be the Wonder in 2025-26, I thought maybe the Fantasy would be coming here once it is released from the 7-Night Carib...

Re: Only one day, so which park?

Hi Greg - did you not go to Tokyo Disneyland when you went to Disneysea? I'd go to the park I haven't been too if I was you. I love Disneysea more than Tokyo Disneyland, but if you've never been to Tokyo Disneyland, then go visit that as they have some unique attractions.

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

So here is some news that is not unexpected. The Disney Wonder will return to Australia for the 2024-25 cruising season. The Port Authority of NSW has updated its spreadsheet of cruise ship arrivals and the Disney Wonder arrives in Sydney on 18 Oct 2024 and makes its final departure on 10 Feb 2025. ...

Re: Defunctland documentaries on youtube

Hi Greg (sorry I've been offline - I had COVID over new year and just never got back to looking at our website afterwards!) Yes, I've watched Defunctland on youtube - he also had a website at one time that I really enjoyed but I haven't visited that in a while - I think that it eventually merged wit...

Re: Two new cruise ships!

It would damage the Disney Cruise Line brand I feel. Yes - now that Iger is back, I figure there will be no casino - but when I initially wrote about the casino - I really thought Chapek might keep it given it is a licence to print money and that is what his focus is. I wonder if the deal to buy it...

Re: New old CEO

Yep - I think this is a good thing. Chapek seemed to focus on bottom line. He seemed to think people would continue to be fans no matter what the cost or quality, but that was just presumptuous and was alienating the fans. The prices were getting too high, the value for money too low, and the qualit...

Re: Two new cruise ships!

Wow - so Disney are buying the Global Dream after all! I saw rumours of this quite a few weeks ago when the media first started talking about the possibility of the Global Dream being scrapped as the buyer had gone bankrupt during Covid and no one else wanted a ship of this capacity. The Global Drea...

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

That's so awesome Lauren. Yes, I was doing the same thing - refreshing all the time for the Syd-HNL cruise. I did see some balconies pop up for a minute, but by the time I clicked on them, they had gone. You have to be really quick and I hesitated while looking at the cabin numbers - so if it happen...

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

Yep, I think this DCL Australia experiment has been a resounding success for them. It’ll have them thinking long and hard about future cruises from Australia. I hope they look to expand the itinerary. It would be good to have more ports in the cruises.

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

Well, I was interested in trying to book the Sydney - Hawaii cruise in 2024, however it has already sold out! Nearly all the staterooms were gone with just the Platinum member bookings and this evening, the remainder of the rooms were snapped up by the Gold members. So us silver members never had a ...

Re: Disney Cruise Line - Australia

Do you think that cruises from/to/around Australia are going to be largely Australian passengers or will it attract a large percentage of Americans? Unfortunately I think it'll be mostly Australian :) Certainly Americans are likely to dominate the repositioning cruises - Hawaii-Sydney and return, b...
