Disney Cruise Line® has announced plans to reposition the Disney Wonder® Cruise Ship from its base in Port Canaveral, Fla., to the West Coast in 2011.
A two-year agreement, with a three-year extension option, will be considered by the Port of Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners on April 2, 2009.
With the port's proximity to the Disneyland® Resort, you'll be able to offer Clients even more magical Disney vacation choices - both on land and sea!
The addition of a new homeport for Disney Cruise Line is part of the overall expansion plan for The Walt Disney Company. Two new ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, will arrive in Port Canaveral, Fla., in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

This isn't really a surprise, because people have been guessing this might happen for awhile. But it's good to have it confirmed! It will likely result in cheaper prices for Disney West Coast cruises. I'm looking forward to this!

Nope, not a surprise. But DCL has finally learned their lesson - they can't keep secrets, especially since people have figured out how to check the Port of LA meeting agendas
We also knew it had to be an older ship going west, because if I remember correctly the new ship dimensions are not Panamex, so not easy to get them to the West Coast (possible, just not easy).
