Ahoy there, Corey! Welcome aboard planDisney! So glad to be hearing from more of our friends from Australia and New Zealand recently. The
Disney Magic at Sea offerings have sure been popular, and I've been doing my best to keep up with questions coming from a day away!
When it comes to the
6-Night itineraries from Sydney, those cruises actually set sail on either the 28th of December, 2023, or the 14th of January 2024! So while they've been announced, they aren't departing until next year!
That said, these itineraries have already proven to be very popular, and many sailings are already completely filled. I wasn't able to see any availability on either of the 6-Night itineraries from Sydney, but that doesn't mean you're stuck ashore! Since you mentioned not being able to access the website, I would suggest contacting a local travel agent with your desired dates and stateroom preferences so they can do the legwork for you!
If nothing is open at the moment, don't despair - with a little faith, trust, and pixie dust - combined with your travel agent's help - you may just find that openings occur as the sailings get closer. I've seen previously sold-out cruises have openings, especially around the final payment due dates, especially near the 120-day mark before the sailing. This is often the final day that Guests can cancel without penalties, so while nothing is guaranteed, that's a good date to have circled on your calendar.
I wish I had better news, Corey, but I'll be hoping you and your crew find an opening on your preferred itinerary! Thank you so much for your question, and if any others surface while you continue planning, please let us know here at planDisney!
Fair winds and following seas!
Andrew
