I called my TA - right away, she is awesome and had confirmed that she had heard the same thing but that their Disney Destinations message said the same as reported above, one announcement was suppose to be 4/6 and another on 4/8. 2 announcements? If one is the cruise info including the Hawaii what could the other be?
Maybe something about another park somewhere?
Don't Know - I guess we will read the boards tomorrow and Friday.
