The sleek and technologically advanced Disney fleet consists of Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. These ships are packed with spectacular entertainment venues, some of which include: Disney themed productions featuring your favorite characters in the Walt Disney Theater; classic Disney movies or feature films at the Buena Vista Theater; and nightclub entertainment, including cabaret and musical acts, at Studio Sea. Both have similar in cabin layouts, with each boasting 73% staterooms with outside views. Of those, 60% feature private verandahs.
Since Disney specializes in entertaining kids, nearly an entire level of each ship is devoted to kids' programs. These are some of the most extensive in the cruise industry. For the very young there's the pirate ship themed Oceaneer Club with crafts, dancing and interactive games. Children 8-12 can play video games, bake cookies and listen to CD's, among many other activities, in the Oceaneer Lab. Teens have a bevy of entertainment selections at Aloft / The Stack, including Internet, karaoke and big-screen plasma TVs.
Adults also have plenty of choices onboard. Options range from the intimate Palo restaurant and the Quiet Cove Pool (which has a pool-side bar serving adult-beverages) to nightclubs and piano bars. For sports, fitness and deluxe beauty treatments, the newly expanded 10,700-square-foot Vista Spa and Salon will deliver.
Disney's mainstay is sailing 3-, 4- and 5-night Bahamas itineraries and 7-night Caribbean sailings. Each itinerary includes a day at Castaway Cay, Disney's private island which offers miles of white sand beach and plenty of activities for adults and children.
You can double your vacation fun by combining a 3- or 4-night Walt Disney World Resort stay with a 3- or 4- night Disney cruise which stops in Nassau and Castaway Cay. The transition from land to sea is easy; transportation takes you to your ship (in Port Canaveral) where you'll bypass the check-in process and go directly to your stateroom. The same key card which opened your Walt Disney World Resort room will open your ship stateroom.
For the first time, Disney will be expanding their range by moving Disney Magic to the Mediterranean with 10- and 11-night itineraries commencing in late May through August, 2007. Ports of call will include Barcelona, Spain; Florence, Naples, and Palermo, Italy; Olbia, Sardinia; and Marsille, France.
In May 2008, Disney Magic will again be on the move. After a three-year hiatus, it will add 7-night Mexican Rivera sailings from Los Angeles. Disney Magic will call on Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
