WHAT WE CAN DO NOW
We can collect as much information as possible before itineraries get released – I’ve created a form to collect initial information – just go here: http://yensid.travel/BookDCLwithChris
NONE of this information would be carved in stone – after all, we don’t have itineraries yet, but… it gives us a head start and collects the information now so we aren’t rushed later.
I understand that much of that information will be incomplete - we don’t know where the Disney Believe will be based, after all. But… whatever you can provide… it gives us a start.
