** OPENING DAY PRICING 2018 Pt 3 September-December: Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy **

Hi! We like that week because our kids have off from school a couple days that week because of teachers convention in Atlantic City (it's usually called Jersey Week). I think it's a pretty popular week (for the fall) to sail

Thanks for the response. Good to know. Thinking I might have to look into October.

I have a question about Christmas sailings. Hope it's O'K to ask it here?

In the parks beginning of January is still kind of Christmasy - all the decorations are still there, the shows and etc.

I booked cruise starting on January 3d. Is there a chance it is still Christmas cruise? As the price is kind of high for January.

Thank you.
Sadly, probably not. They usually take all of the decorations down during the New Year cruise.

Thanks for putting this together! It's pretty interesting looking at the data; very few kids for the September cruises, roughly 50% kids for October, and mostly with kids for November and especially December. What other trends are there?

I have a question about Christmas sailings. Hope it's O'K to ask it here?

In the parks beginning of January is still kind of Christmasy - all the decorations are still there, the shows and etc.

I booked cruise starting on January 3d. Is there a chance it is still Christmas cruise? As the price is kind of high for January.

Thank you.
Is this the 1/3/19 sailing out of Galveston? I called Monday to get a quote for someone and was advised it is a Very Merrytime sailing. I didn't ask, but the cm advised me about all the cruises that were either Halloween On The High Seas or Merrytime sailings when the quotes landed on the appropriate dates. Ymmv but that's what I was advised :)

Thanks,
Heather

Did you also price this out with 3k in one room to see if the price was lower overall. Disney doesn't care how you sleep. Usually the more people in a room the less the 3,4,5 passengers cost. The first two passengers are always the same price. If the 8c's don't sleep 5 then it's a mute point.
 
From a business standpoint, they clearly see they can get those rates, so why not start there? Not abrupt, just facts.
"What's not to understand" is a statement questioning someone's intelligence. Not kindly sharing facts to another human who only has the best intentions. I can imagine the poster asking for understanding would've accepted your opinion gratefully had it not ended with a jab.
