Celebration, Fla. -- When the Disney Magic crosses the "pond" for its first-ever Mediterranean sailings, deck parties will pop, new shows will "wow," on-board activities, including food and beverage, will feature European flair, and port excursions will be studded with special Disney touches.
New deck parties will create a carnival-like atmosphere while lavishly produced Broadway-style shows bring original stories and special effects to the ship's opulent Walt Disney Theatre. Activities for children 3-17 will range from crêpe-making en route to Marseilles to mosaic-designing on the way to Barcelona. Excursions at all the ports will feature special extras exclusive to the Disney cruise experience, such as scavenger and treasure hunts for children.
"It was important to add new surprises for our guests during our first-ever European adventure," says Jim Urry, director of entertainment for Disney Cruise Line. "We looked for creative ways to showcase the international flavor of our destinations through onboard and excursion activities allowing the entire family to become immersed in the Mediterranean experience."
Entertainment
Disney Cruise Line guests will enjoy three new theater productions and several festive deck parties debuting just for guests who embark on the summer's 10- and 11-night cruises to ports in Spain, Italy and France. Shows in the Walt Disney Theatre include:
"Disney Dreams . . . An Enchanted Classic" (55 minutes) -- This enhancement of one of the ship's most popular stage shows tells the story of a young girl who learns about the power of dreams. Technical advancements, laser and pyrotechnic effects, plus the first-ever appearance of Timon and Pumbaa on a Disney cruise ship, add fresh fun to the performance.
"When Mickey Dreams" (50 minutes) -- Mickey Mouse's dreams come to life in this musical spectacle guided by a cast of Cirque-like "dream seekers." The show's unique, artistic nature will thrill guests, while a nightmare visit by the notorious villain Maleficent serves up a few chills.
"Disney's The Art of the Story" (50 minutes) -- This celebration of storytelling's magic features more than 20 performers, Disney characters from Mulan to Tarzan and a variety of production numbers from classic Disney films including "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King."
"On the Nose" (50 minutes) -- Everyone in the audience can win prizes grand and small during this original game show based on Disney trivia. Dubbed "On the Nose" because every question -- from Disney film trivia to theme-park factoids -- has a number-type answer, the show gives points to audience teams that get the answer "on the nose."
