No. I believe it’s a matter of “when one stops construction the next one starts”I know they were well into construction on the Wish, but do you know if they had even started 6 and 7?

This is true in a general sense but they build multiple at a time so it when construction starts on a specific ship depends on the build order and how many are being built at once. It's further complicated by there being multiple shipyards involved, as Neptun Werft builds the floating engine room units for large ships at both Meyer Werft and Meyer Turku.No. I believe it’s a matter of “when one stops construction the next one starts”
It's definitely an interesting process.This is true in a general sense but they build multiple at a time so it when construction starts on a specific ship depends on the build order and how many are being built at once.

Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas was recently floated out of Meyer Werft's hall 6, which means that construction of the first Disney Wish mega block can soon begin. The Wish floating engine room unit is now visible on Meyer Werft's webcams.
Hopefully Disney will release more information about the ship's unique features and initial itineraries in the next few months. The (fleetwide) deployments could be quite interesting because
DCL is now overcommitted to ports for 2023-2024 following the delay of the 6th and 7th ships.
Yeah, if it was launching in January 2022 then I would expect the maiden voyages to already be on sale and presumably the first info dump needs to happen before that. Now, with the delay to summer 2022, we're probably looking at sometime in the first half of next year for the initial info release.It's definitely an interesting process.
Also, in a sans-covid world, I'm under the impression that we would have already had our first major info dump on the Triton Class's unique features. Blue Sky for these ships was absolutely crazy, so I'm interested to see how much was cut to make the final product.
Technology out the wazoo, yes.hopefully there's also some new and innovative stuff to help keep Disney a level above the other large cruise lines rather than just being a copycat
Honestly $39 sounds pretty cheap for how far that is with tolls and everythingWhat's a cheaper way to get to Port Canaveral from MCO? Disney Magical Express is $39 one-way. For 5 of us, that's almost $200 each way which is insane. Uber/Lyft? Shuttle? If shuttle, any links to a reliable company?
Also, would it be better to spend the night before the cruise near MCO or near Port Canaveral?
Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Uber XL probably cheaper. An old-fashioned car service might be worth looking into, as well, a lot around here specialize in trips to the port. Unfortunately I can't recommend any from personal experience.
I suggest MCO just because you'll probably get a better rate. It's less than an hour even from Convention Center area, so might get lucky with a cheap rate, should have no issue at all getting there with time to spare.
