Wish They would release pricing really keen to do the 4 night Auckland to Brisbane then spend a week on the Gold Coast before flying Home.
I have just called Disney.I've seen people saying they are pre registering their interest, but I can't find where to do that I've pre registered with flight Centre, but I'd really prefer not to have to book through them.
Has anyone here pre registered with Disney?
Yes sorry, on Sale on the 27 for Platinum and the 29 for commoners like meSo they're not going on sale on the 29th?
I agree I will try to go directly to Disney.I’m so excited but also wish I knew opening day prices already. I’m eligible to book with gold members and have blocked out my work calendar early that morning to try to book immediately to get the best price. Despite that I worry it will still be too expensive.
As for people’s questions about who to book through. I personally wouldn’t use Flight Centre. I’m going it alone but if I needed to use a travel agent (I would if I wanted one of the repositioning cruises as I’ll be travelling for work those days), I’d go with Dreams Unlimited or another US based Disney cruise specialist agency. They know the product and Disney’s systems and could get it right in a way I wouldn’t trust a major Australian general TA to do.

It's really unreasonable to give a sale date without actually prices...
I agree with you. This will be the first time for many Australian travel agents to be booking a Disney cruise on opening day. It would concern me that due to this the process they would be slow and I could miss out on the cabin I would like or early dinning ect. At the moment it is also hard to getting a booking to see a travel agent as they are still working through airline credits and continual flight time changes for customers.I’m so excited but also wish I knew opening day prices already.

Yep but this is what DCL do upon every release. Prices are posted on the boards and that's how people know what they cost. Disney did give an idea of pricing in their PDF which is better than how they usually handle it.I agree I will try to go directly to Disney.

It depends, but for most it will be nearly $10k to go around the harbour!Do these cruises actually go anywhere? No real interest in a cruise to nowhere.
Thanks, even though I mentioned I registered with Flight Centre and an agent I was referred too, I agree that they don't know the product or the Disney systems. The agent I was referred to mentioned they will be having 3 sets of webinar training! I did contact Dreams Unlimited and they have a booking request already set up in their system for the Aussie/NZ cruise dates with all the relevant info needed, so I put my request in. If that doesn't work out I will just book direct when the bookings open for Castaway Club members.I’m so excited but also wish I knew opening day prices already.

Do you know if booking with Dreams unlimited you still get the same customer protection cover you would get as from booking with an Australian company? Similar to booking from the UK or booking from the usaThanks, even though I mentioned I registered with Flight Centre and an agent I was referred too, I agree that they don't know the product or the Disney systems.
