I don't foresee any problems with the disclaimer verbiage. It's almost all verbatim from the WP general disclaimer, with only one addition:
*The information on WIkivoyage is contributed by users, whose underlying experiences are inherently subjective. While we believe in the power of crowd-sourcing, Wikimedia has not independently verified any content and makes no assertion that the travel information provided is factually accurate.*
I personally find that the acknowledgement of unavoidable subjectivity is codified in our disclaimer heartening ;)

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry to say that the sites are not yet launched, although we are getting closer. We have encountered a few unexpected issues that have delayed us, and the overall transfer process is taking much longer than anticipated. We're importing the data as quickly as we can without impacting other WMF sites, and are nearing the end of the transfer process. After that, we'll be doing some final QA to make sure that everything is working, and then we'll point dns to the new servers.
In the meantime, the WMF legal team has also asked that we launch the sites with new wording on the Disclaimer pages, using language as close to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Disclaimer as possible. It would be great if we could get some help with the translation, and make sure this isn't going to be an issue for any of the communities.
Thanks for your continued patience, and I have to be announcing the sites' availability soon!
Chris
