If I'm reading the schedule right, looks like it could be a series of 7 night cruises, one 9 night and two 14 night cruises. Nice.

Yeah, I am so excited! Now, If only we can figure out the day and port the Magic will be leaving the US from and if it is going to go straight to Copenhagen or have another sailing in Europe first... :)

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Lots and lots going on now, pity I wotk all day,

 

Bring lazy copied from another board.

 

 

 

 

May 30 Copenhagen - 7 night Baltic

Jun 6 Copenhagen - 7 night Fjord (Geiranger)

Jun 13 Copenhagen - 7 night Baltic

Jun 20 Copenhagen - 9 night Fjord (Geiranger)

Jun 29 Copenhagen - 11 night Iceland (Akureyri, Reykjavik overnight)

Jul 10 Dover - 12 night Baltic (Copenhagen)

Jul 22 Dover - 12 night Baltic (Copenhagen overnight)

Aug 3 Dover - Med repo

 

 

 

This looks very close to the real deal from all of the teamwork of everyone's contributions on this.

 

 

 

It's interesting this has all come up and been confirmed recent, for example knowing Copenhagen would be a Homeport since August last year I have searched the port every week since then and nothing, nothing, so they were there a week ago.

 

 

 

Great detective work by all concerned too many to credit.

Yes saw that looked interesting looks like that Oslo is dropped on a Baltic runs as Copenhagen is just a day off Dover, in 2010 they went to Oslo, looks to be exclusive to the Fjords cruises now.

I didn't have much faith in them because there's nothing less reliable that "A castmember told me" internet rumors. I was hoping for them to be true. I just wanted to have some fun with them. If they had been all wrong, I would have quietly unpinned them and let them disappear.

Ah but the Disney bus driver didn't tell me!

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Speculation of a confirmation of 2015 on March 24th, with a release to Gold and Platinum on the Tuesday and Wednesday, full release Thursday.

Looking forward to it...despite the fact that we will most likely be the only ones going for a western Caribbean cruise! I just want to get dates so I can start planning the rest if my vacation around them!

[Nirrakel]

Please let that be true! I'm generation Y and I've run out of patience!!

[Nirrakel]

Also is there any chance of the chosen few sharing what is available so I can be prepared to book for the Thursday?

What's been said on this thread.

[Nirrakel]

Sorry, I meant on the Tuesday and Wednesday, when details are released are Platinum and gold members allowed to share it on here?

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Villefrance now has the Magic listed,August and September 2015, the dates near the end are weekly but there is a gap of nine days after the first one.

 

So from Mid August it's weekly but we have an odd cruise before it, the nine day gap may indicate a longer cruise.

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Sorry, I meant on the Tuesday and Wednesday, when details are released are Platinum and gold members allowed to share it on here?

 

Ok Misunderstood,

 

If Platinum and Gold book to post prices it's a good idea.

 

You do need a good volume for that, I have to say it works better on the other site they normally have opening days pricing.

Dover is easy, I know it very very well, in Fact in 2010 we welcomed in the first Disney Magic cruise and then went on the last one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dover has a small compact terminal.

Dover is about 80 miles from Central London, and the same from the nearest main hub airport of Gatwick, it's a 100 miles from our main London airport Heathrow.

 

DCL did as you see put on coaches and many people preferred these for connivence, they however were very expensive.

 

I drove there I live 75 miles away by direct route. There is a small car hire place but a walk from the terminal, see later, and couldn't cope with many people requesting cars or dropping off.

 

The main slater native route is by train from Central London.

 

The very fast service to Dover Priory is from London ST Pancras which is next to Kings Cross to the North of Central London and is by high speed train using the channel tunnel rail link for half the way, you can go by normal fast train from London Bridge, Victoria, or Waterloo East but take care some trains of SSY eight cars split into two four car trains at Faversham

 

All these trains are operated by SouthEastern rail and are good sized trains but avoid hush hours, the high speed St Pancras route costs more and if say your going to then travel by tube you may find it longer.

 

.it takes an hour but Dover a Priory is not next to the harbour, and the port pier is a long walk down a narrow road over bridges and it has large trucks on it.

 

So a taxi from the station is advised.

 

This is why so many choose the DCL bus or organise private transfers as these pull up at the terminal and avoid rush hours, pulling bags on and off trains and into taxis or tubes either end.

 

 

Gatwick is to the dough of London do a direct private transfer avoids London. Whilst Heathrow is west London both airports are connected by motorway ( freeway) using M20 M25 and for Gatwick M23.

 

The famous white cliffs of Dover are port side, East of the Ship, and there is the famous Dover a Castle there as well with stunning views.

 

 

I would suggest fly into Gatwick or Heathrow get a train to Central a London stay a few days in the Victoria area sightsee, then either private transfer or train to Dover.

 

 

Check in was normal but in a small confined space and so they will stick to PATS there, the terminal is on two floors so slightly bigger than it looks, border control quick, it has a good cafe in it, but you can't really leave again to tour the town without a good walk or a taxi and the road is a commercial truck access route.

 

I have walked it when we took these photos and not on that cruise and I saw people try to walk it with luggage a in both directions and I would say don't.

 

The English Channel has high movements in tides and so as the photos show be prepared to walk up steep steps.

 

You get off fast at Dover but with an hour to any good airport and strict security do not book anything before 1pm, and note one cruise in 2010 changed it's arrival time to 10.30 due to tides.

Are we sure of that date now then? I've been close to admitting defeat and booking RCCL.

Well there will be no official annoucement re an official annoucement but most specialist DCL TAs now confirm they too think is next Monday.

 

The TAs are already taking wait lists for booking, they haven't done that before March, and so it looks like that date it's frozen.

 

Pun intended as Frozen is released in the USA the same time on DVD and it makes a good cross promotion.

 

Anything after that will start to get seriously close to Eastern when cruisers and staff are off.

 

I think we will see more confirmation of the rumours during this up coming week, with FORUMS getting more exact idea of each actual cruise and it's port of calls,

 

There are often big leaks in the week running up to an official annoucement.

 

So keep thrm peeled, it's coming.
