Do you know where we check for the official announcement? Is it the Disney Cruiseline website?

And on Disney fan sites, and message boards. When it finally happens, there will probably about 20 posts with links and no one would miss it, LOL!

All 3-, 4- or 7-night cruises through 4/24/08 are available for booking, but not Land/Sea packages at this time. If you are interested in booking a suite, or a cruise during a popular time period (i.e., Easter break), be aware that these usually sell out very early. You also need to book secret porthole staterooms as early as possible! Categories 1-3 (suites) for sailings in 2008 require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit, but the deposit can be transferred to a different date if your plans change. For Categories 4-12, the deposit is fully refundable until full payment is due. To book a 2008 cruise, contact a travel agent who specializes in Disney vacations. Jump to: 2008 Special Cruise Itineraries 2008 Themed Cruises 2008 Drydock Plans 2008 Special Cruise Itineraries The Disney Magic is returning to the West Coast for the summer of 2008 to offer seven-night Mexican Riviera sailings. Beginning May 25, 2008, the Disney Magic is scheduled to sail 12 consecutive seven-night cruise vacations from the Port of Los Angeles to Mexican Riviera ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. 2008 West Coast Itinerary Departing May 25; June 1; June 8; June 15; June 22; June 29; July 6; July 13; July 20; July 27; August 3; August 10. Sunday - Port of Los Angeles Monday - At Sea Tuesday - Cabo San Lucas Wednesday - Mazatlan Thursday - Puerto Vallarta Friday - At Sea Saturday - At Sea Sunday - Port of Los Angeles You can combine a Mexican Riviera cruise with Disneyland Resort by booking a two-night, pre- or post-stay at one of Disney’s three resort hotels in Anaheim. In addition to the 12 Mexican Riviera cruises, Disney Cruise Line will offer two 15-night repositioning cruises through the Panama Canal. The Disney Magic will depart Port Canaveral and head west on May 10, 2008, with the return cruise to Florida scheduled for August 17, 2008. Bookings open on January 31, 2007. Disney was taking waiting list requests for Summer 2008 sailings on the Magic but apparently the list was too long so this was discontinued in December 2006. Small World Vacations is now creating its own waiting list, which they will use to book their clients on the first day the Summer 2008 special itinerary cruises are released for sale. Booking on the first day is the best way to lock in the lowest fares! If you are seriously interested in booking a Summer 2008 cruise, I recommend submitting a quotation form at the Small World Vacations web site and noting "waitlist" in the comments section.
