What about you, Brian?

You know, I'm going to have to go with my first time doing a mustard drill.

No, I'm...

Hey, everybody.

So we recorded this episode over the weekend and predictably enough on Monday, which is today.

Disney has dropped some new itineraries for the dream and fantasy.

So these are late April and May of 2022 itineraries just for the dream and the fantasy.

So I just wanted to quickly alert folks up front before this episode that those itineries have been released.

They're available for booking immediately today. Disney is not doing the regular booking window process for Cassaway Club members. So anyone can book these itineraries today. Again, they are for late April and May of 2022 aboard the dream and the fantasy. I will say they are the standard dream and fantasy sailings you're talking about on the dream three-night and four-night Bahamian cruises out of

Port Canaveral, stopping in Nassan castaway key. And on the fantasy, you're talking about the

normal seven-night eastern and western Caribbean sailings. On the eastern, you know, stopping at Tortola, St. Thomas, and on the Western stopping at, you know, Grand Cayman, Falmouth, and Cozumel, and, you know, both sailing, stopping at Castaway. So there's nothing stunning or earth-shattering here. I think it is interesting that, one, they're releasing these itineraries for April and May without the wonder or the magic

represented here. Nothing about the wish as of yet. So just the dream and the fantasy, just Port Canaveral Sailings, just some standard sailings. Scott Sanders over on his blog has all of the salings up. He also has the opening day pricing. I took a quick scan of the opening day pricing. I don't think it's anything earth-shattering, not some big deal to be had on these

sailings as far as I can tell. It looks pretty

standard to me. But I do think it's an interesting move to be releasing these with just the

dream and the fantasy sailings for April and May. And also to be opening it up immediately to booking

with no honoring of the booking windows for castaway club members.

So it's very interesting, very unique, lots of commentary out there right now about, you know,

why Disney might be doing this, you know, speculation around folks with lots of future cruise

credit and trying to give them an avenue or an approach to use that, which might be true.

Also possible that this has something to do with the wish. I mean, certainly the fact that the wish isn't represented here and they're opening up sort of the fantasy and the dream is suggestive that, you know, this is creating kind of that gap in the schedule for where the wish will be sailing, hopefully. So anyway, if you're interested in more information, head over to either Scott Sanders blog, the Disney Cruise Line blog,

or just head straight to the Disney Cruise Line website, and you can check out these itineraries

and start booking them. So with that, on to our regular bonus episode.
