Resort Loop Group Cruise 3.0 Is Here! Plus New Disney Cruise Line Itineraries [Ep.906]

Please stand clear of the doors.

To our new passengers.

Aloha and welcome aboard.

Hey everybody, thanks for joining us on Tim Scott.

Scott joined by his lovely wife Dawn.

And we're here with a big announcement today because we're very excited for a show we've been waiting to do for, I think, months now.

We have.

You never know when these shows are going to come out because we don't know when the itineraries are going to come out for Disney Cruise Line.

We thought they might have come out earlier this year, earlier this summer, but they didn't.

And then all of a sudden, boom, boom.

They make the announcements and drop the itineraries for next fall and early spring of 2028.

So we're looking at some new and exciting itineraries for the fall of 2027.

Yeah, we're just going to talk about these real quick before we get to the group cruise.

Just so you know, there's other cruises out there if you'd like to book anything.

And remember, remember, you can always book through resortroottravel.com Please do.

We would love to meet you.

We're great at answering any questions and getting you what you need.

So fun.

It is.

We love doing it.

So if you're even thinking about booking, please look us up.

But the big news is the Disney Wish is going to New York for a couple of sailings.

That was the least surprise that they've released because they accidentally had it on the website for a while and everybody saw it on the Internet and they posted it everywhere saying it looks like it's coming to New York.

And ta da, it is.

It finally confirmed it today.

Yeah.

So they'll be visiting Bermuda, which I think is super exciting.

They've not gone there before, have they?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

Or maybe they.

But early on it's been a long time.

It's been at least four years since they were even in New York City.

Yes.

And the Wish being in New York City, I think is going to be a great ship for New York City.

Oh, absolutely.

It is.

That'll be great.

That'll be awesome.

For those of you who love the Panama Canal cruises, that's coming back next year.

Fabulous.

That's exciting.

14 Night repositioning San Diego to Galveston.

There's going to be more Galveston news coming up real quick.

We just want to gloss over these real quick Florida highlights.

Yeah.

The Destiny is moving to Port Canaveral.

Yeah, that's exciting.

They're gonna do anywhere from three to seven Nights depending do some Bahama itineraries and some Western Caribbean itineraries.

So that'll be good.

We haven't been on the Destiny yet but we think we'd like to give her a try at some point.

I think so.

I really like to see the Lion King restaurant.

I would too.

I really, really, really.

We love the Frozen on the Wish and we super love Coco on the Treasure.

That was amazing.

Oh, we loved Coco.

That was great.

Treasure still our.

One of our ships that we love.

Is still plugging and wait the seven days.

It is still eastern, Eastern, Western, you know, back and forth.

So Treasure, that's where the cocoa restaurant is that we absolutely love.

So yep.

And I will say the both the Treasure and the Destiny have the Haunted Mansion parlor.

They do.

And that's a great, great bar.

Those are great.

Those are great.

My goodness.

So good.

A lot of fun.

Poor New York's hitting the Hyperspace Lounge on the Wish.

But yeah, that's okay.

We talked about that already.

So let's see the Disney fantasies.

Sailing from Bermuda to Fort Lauderdale for the first time for the eight night voyage that visits both Lukaki and Lighthouse Point.

Exciting eight day cruise.

Honestly fantastic.

Anything and long cruises.

Love them.

Absolutely love them.

And then Disney Cruise Line also returning to, well, San Diego and Galveston.

They're both going to offer three to seven night Baja and Mexican Riviera cruises.

This I love is that the Disney Magic is also doing the eight night cruise to the Bahamas.

That's including stops at island, their islands.

That's exciting because those islands aren't anywhere close there.

They're not.

That's why they're longer of a cruise.

Yeah.

But for the people in Galveston to get over to the actual Caribbean, get out of the Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, that's exciting.

So and then the Disney Wonder is going to make a stop at Catalina island on one on their cruise.

I would still love to see Catalina.

We need to like look into that.

It seems like a very huge version of Put In Bay.

For those of you in the Ohio or Great Lakes region, if that's wrong, let me know.

Like I said, I haven't been there but I really want to go.

Yeah.

The adventure I think is still going to be doing their same three and four night.

But they added a port stop.

They did, if I'm pronouncing it right.

Langkawi, Malaysia.

Yeah, I don't know how to pronounce it.

I don't either.

But apparently this port offers access to like rainforests and beaches along with the scenic Coastline.

So that could really enhance the adventure, you know, appeal to have an actual port stop and not just do days at sea.

It could.

I think that's a great move for people in Singapore going on the cruise.

Sure.

But if you're coming from, you know, around here, you want to at least do one back to back on the adventure.

If you're going to spend all the money on Earth Fair to get out there, at least do one because you know, a three and a four night cruise after a 24 hour flight or whatever it is would just kind of be.

No, not only that, the Adventure is such a huge ship.

You just couldn't see everything in that short amount of time.

Right.

You can't even do all the restaurants on a three or a four day.

Right.

So you got to do bit longer there.

And Disney Cruise Line always likes to point out they're still doing holiday sailings every year.

They are.

We did a maritime cruise on our first Wish cruise.

That was our first group cruise.

That was awesome.

It was, it was beautiful because they had the Christmas decorations up, the gingerbread house, the Christmas tree lighting, Christmas music.

Playing in the hall for us.

It was wonderful, beautiful.

So.

And then in September and October on select sailings, they're doing Halloween on the high seas.

We've not done that one yet.

We have not done that.

But I hear it's a pretty amazing with the character meet and greets in their Halloween costumes.

And a highlight is meeting the Sanderson sisters.

Oh, they're great.

So yeah, I think that would be pretty cool.

And now for the big announcement.

Drum mail please.

When is our group cruise and on what ship?

The Resort Loop group cruise number three.

We're so excited.

We're so excited.

We went back and forth a lot when we saw the itineraries.

As a matter of fact, that's all we've been talking about today is which itinerary, which ship, what dates and we narrowed it down to our last two group cruises were on Wish class ships.

Correct.

And we thought we would like to do a different class ship.

Yes.

And I think the one that worked best, hopefully for everybody will be on the Disney Fantasy.

Yes.

We love, love, love the Fantasy and the Dream because We love their 4e category, their extended veranda.

Yes, love that.

So we settled.

We're going to be on the Disney Fantasy.

Want to tell the date?

I do.

From September 24th to the 29th.

Yeah, it's a five night cruise.

It's probably, I think, well, it is the longest cruise that you could get on the Fantasy.

Right.

Fantasy's doing shorter ones at that time of year.

But the great news is it stops at both of their private islands as well as Nassau.

Right.

So that's exciting.

That's wonderful.

And it's in September, which means Epcot Food and Wine.

Yep.

Tack on a few days before or after and.

Or after.

Yes.

So we'll be doing one of those.

I don't think we'll be doing both of those, but we'll do some.

We'll do some.

Yeah.

Either before or after.

Yeah, for sure we will.

That will be announced later, but this is definitely the group cruise coming up on the Fantasy.

So exciting.

Please join us.

We would love to have you join us.

We can't wait to see old friends that we've had before with us on the group cruises and hope to meet some new friends.

We have a great time.

Would probably encourage you.

If you're even thinking about it, go ahead and, you know, put your deposit down.

Because we like to do early dining or main dining, which is at 5:45, it's in the evening, versus late dining, which is usually about 8, 15ish or so.

Yeah, they always say it's within a.

Yeah, 15 minute radius.

But main dining is the one that usually sells out the quickest.

And you don't have to join us for dining.

Correct.

But we absolutely love to have everybody with us at dinner time.

It just makes for a great time, great conversation.

Like to hear about what everybody else did during the day.

You know, if there's kids with us, what they did during the day, that's always fun.

So you don't have to dine with us.

You can certainly have your own table or, you know, dine late, if that's what your preference is.

You can still join our group cruise.

We would just love to have you and meet you.

If you can't make it for this group cruise, but you're thinking about a different Disney cruise, look us up over@resortlooptravel.com and we'll be glad to hook you up with your cruise.

Absolutely.

And to be a part of this group, you actually also have to book through resortlooptravel.com I'm sure everybody knows that, but I always like to put it out there.

Oh, for sure.

Yeah.

So please come and join us.

We would love to see everybody.

We're so looking forward to this.

It's been so long.

And those of you with kids that worry about school, 100% feel you.

I am a retired teacher and honestly, most teachers, I would hope, feel the same way I feel that while it is hard to get makeup work and stuff together for the kids, the experiences the kids are going to have, first of all, just with their family and having those family memories and family bonding, you cannot replicate that in a classroom.

And to go out and experience the world and see new places and do new things, you just cannot replicate that in the classroom.

So I was always 100%.

If these kids get to go on vacation, they get to spend family time.

Go.

Especially when they're young, before they get into sports and all the school activities you can't get out of.

Right?

Yes.

That's hard.

That gets harder when they're older.

For sure.

Manageable, but definitely harder.

And did we mention this is a Halloween on the high seas cruise?

We didn't.

I'm so excited for this, too, because I've never seen a ship decorated for Halloween.

Me either.

I'm thinking maybe we'll have to have a Resort Loop costume contest.

Right?

You're on your own there.

I can be on my own.

I'm gonna dress up.

But we'll at least have to maybe judge.

We have had to do costumes every single year since I was a teacher.

And honest to Pete, it gets so hard.

Thankfully, at the last 12 years that I taught, we were at our new building and most of the grade levels just got together and did a group costume, which made it a little bit easier.

But I'm pretty over the costumes.

Right.

Well, maybe I'll pull one out.

I don't know.

We got some time.

This is until next September 24th to the 29th of 2027.

But if you want to dress up, we would love to see it.

We want to see it.

We want to post it.

We'll put it in the group.

So.

Sounds great.

That's the exciting announcement for the Resort loop Group Cruise 3.0 on the Disney.

Fantasy Friday through Wednesday, September 24th through the 29th.

Halloween on the high Seas.

Book us up over@resortlooptravel.com we'd love to help you out.

You nailed that.

Thank you.

We would like to help you out.

So once again, look us up.

I'm Tim Scott, joined by his lovely wife, dawn.

This has been resortloop.com the Gateway to the magic.

See, everybody.
