' src=

i’d jump on any of these in a heartbeat if not for the cost of airfare to that part of the world

' src=

Could be magical from auckland as ship would have to fly to follow above map, as cruise terminal on other side of island….disney magic

' src=

As I heard somebody else mention, these are obviously meant for Australia residents to take as I don’t know anybody from the US that would pay that kind of money to fly all the way down there and go on one of these cruises that only makes 1 or 2 port stops (even the 6 night only makes 2 port stops), these itineraries are terrible. Only ones worth looking at would be the repositioning cruises and they don’t make any stops in New Zealand or Australia (except when they actually get to or leave from Sydney). Think DCL could have done better with these. Glad I already had other DCL cruises booked for 2023.

' src=

but it is ok to fly to the US for only 2-7 night voyages?

You may easily find the decision was too late and other ports of call were taken.

' src=

I have been told that these cruises are like the UK cruises last year and all are cruises to nowhere. While there are ports listed, they are tactical ports for refueling, etc. and not ports of call for guests.

' src=

That is honestly super disappointing. No longer cruise around Australia or NZ, only super short trips. How the hell id doing a 2 night?

' src=

It didn’t take us long to realize these are not worth the airfare and pre-cruise over night and post cruise over night stays. I agree the reposition itineraries are a better choice, and even those prices are a little high. Just focusing on the repositions at this point.

' src=

Some of the links on this page are coded wrong, such as safari-reader://disneycruiselineblog.com/cruise-planning/itineraries//itineraries/itinerary-summary/?itinerary=673 The correct coding should be https://disneycruiselineblog.com/cruise-planning/itineraries//itineraries/itinerary-summary/?itinerary=673 🙂

' src=

Valerie, Thanks for letting me know, I’ve corrected the links.

' src=

What are the early booking dates? Have they said yet?

I keep trying to click on “View Early Booking Dates” and it is not active yet. I was told we would hear more on 9/26.

' src=

Hello Scott Any idea when other itineraries for 2024 will be available ? October I believe?

' src=

With the New Zealand dollar at 0.56 and the Australian dollar at 0.64 to the US dollar, I don’t think that the “locals” will be able to pay DCL the expensive cruise fares that Disney will demand! And Americans are not going to fly that far for a short cruise!?

' src=

Hi Ed, as an Australian I have booked and previously sailed DCL in the US. It’s cheaper for us to sail here (even in the Aus school holidays and around Xmas) than it is to fly over to the US and get on it. Disney fans will go if they understand the quality of these beautiful ships , it’s the first time or non cruises that will be complaining

' src=

I would not be surprised if these cruises are meant to gauge local interest in the Disney brand, so that Disney can determine if building a property in the region might be a good idea.

The same goes for the Singapore sailings in 2025 – in fact, in the 1990’s Disney had a plan to build a property in Singapore, but it got scrapped, probably because of the Disneyland Paris fiasco – the same fate that befell a lot of 1990’s Disney projects.

Can the verandahs be locked?  Yes, all verandah doors have a lock located at the top of the sliding glass door. 

Do you have to pre-book the kids clubs?  Guests can pre-register their child online for Disney’s Oceaneer Lab and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab or they can register once onboard the ship. Advance registration is required for “it’s a small world” nursery.  

Do you provide cots for infants?   Cots are not provided, but guests can request a pack’n’play for their stateroom, subject to availability. 

Dining Questions: 

With the rotational dining, if Guests are on a 2-night cruise, do they get to select which of the restaurants they will dine in? 

Guests will receive their restaurant schedule and table number upon arrival for their cruise by checking the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App. Rotational dining is the Disney Cruise Line way of making sure that all Guests get to enjoy each of the themed dining venues while on board. Breakfast and lunch are also served in main dining rooms, with operating hours indicated within the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App on board. 

How do you make a special dietary request?  Disney Cruise Line offers gluten-free, vegetarian, no-sugar-added, dairy-free and lighter-note offerings on our table-service restaurant menus. Please let your personal wait staff know on the first night of your sailing if you have any special dietary requests or foods you would like to avoid so they can accommodate your request throughout your cruise. Dietary requests notated on your reservation will not be automatically applied at our quick-service meal locations or through in-room dining so please let those locations know if you have a special dietary request or foods you would like to avoid. 

Is the soda, coffee, tea and soft serve included in the cruise fare for the entire voyage?  There is no charge for soft drinks, coffee, and tea at the Beverage Station on Deck 9 of the Disney Wonder. Select complimentary non-alcoholic beverages are also available in the restaurants, in-room dining and quick service dining venues on the ship. 

Is Paid dining based on a la carte prices, or a set additional price for the restaurant?  The adults-only restaurant Palo serves a pre-fixe menu at a set price in addition to a la carte food and beverage options. 

Can guests travelling together be allocated tables together for dining?  Yes, however, it is important to make sure that these reservations are linked during the booking process when reserving multiple staterooms. For bookings not confirmed at the same time, guests can link up to 3 additional staterooms on the same sailing once they have a reservation number. This can be completed by calling the Contact Centre or on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. 

Entertainment Questions:

What Disney characters can guests expect to encounter onboard the Disney Wonder?  Disney Characters can be seen throughout the ship at select times including Mickey & pals and beloved friends from Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. 

How far in advance can you pre-book shore excursions?  All Onboard and Port Adventures can be booked once the reservation is paid in full and based on Castaway Club Status – 120 days Platinum, 105 days Gold, 90 days Silver, 75 days for all other Guests. 

Do you need to pre-book seats in the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for theatre shows?  Guest seating in the theatres is first come, first served. 

Is there enough seating for everyone in the theatres?  Yes, Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy entertainment in the theatre opposite of their rotational dining assignment. 

Which sailings feature fireworks?  Disney Magic and Sea sailings include a fireworks show, weather permitting. 

Are there any Halloween or Christmas themed cruises?  These cruises will not be marketed as themed holiday seasons, however, will immerse Guests in the magic of Disney storytelling. 

Stateroom & Accommodation Questions:

Do the inside staterooms still have magic portholes?  This feature is no available on the Disney Wonder. Guests can experience these on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. 

Will we have access to all room types in the booking system, including suites?   Yes, all staterooms will be available to book, however, suites are very limited and will be subject to availability at the time of booking. 

Can guests on back-to-back sailings leave their luggage in their stateroom or do they need to fully disembark?  Guests travelling on a back-to-back onboard the Disney Wonder can leave their luggage onboard, regardless of if they’re assigned in the same stateroom. If they are in a different stateroom, the stateroom host will help to transfer their suitcases to their new accommodations. 

Which stateroom types offer interconnecting staterooms?  Deck Plans are available on the DisneyTravelAgents.com.au site. When looking at the Deck Plans, interconnecting staterooms will have an arrow between the rooms to indicate that they are interconnecting. 

Do the 'Queen' beds split into twin beds or for those requiring two twin beds?  No, the queen beds are not split. Staterooms are equipped with a convertible sofa bed if a second bed is required.
