Delight in the ‘Magic’ and ‘Wonder’ of the Holidays

CELEBRATION, Fla. -- From the happy haunts of Halloween through the revelry of the new year, guests will discover an extra dose of pixie dust aboard Disney Cruise Line this holiday season. From traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts to "snowflake" sightings and seasonal caroling, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder will sparkle with the joy of the holiday season.

The festivities begin on the Oct. 27 and 28 sailings, where guests can take part in some Halloween fun. Children will enjoy a trail of candy stations that culminates in a dance party on the top deck and special costume parties in each of the youth activity areas. For adults, there's a dance party and costume contest with prizes for costume categories such as best group, most original and most Disney. With Halloween decorations throughout the ship and scary -- as well as not-so-scary -- movies playing in various venues, children of all ages will enjoy a uniquely Disney twist on this autumn tradition.

Then, beginning in late November, the spirit of the season will surround cruise guests from the moment they arrive at Port Canaveral, Fla. Disney characters decked out in their finest holiday attire will welcome guests to the lavishly decorated private cruise terminal. Onboard, the festivities continue with special themed activities, decorations, and even a transformed winter wonderland on Disney's private island, Castaway Cay.

On Thanksgiving Day, guests will delight in a traditional Thanksgiving feast complete with roast turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings. After enjoying as much as they care to eat, guests can relax in a deck chair or partake in some of the many shipboard activities such as themed craft projects for the children. To top off the festivities, Mickey and Minnie will don their Thanksgiving costumes.

After Thanksgiving, guests will discover continued holiday cheer along with:

• A nearly three-deck-tall tree festooned with decorations in the atrium lobby, where "snow" flurries fall and a tree-lighting ceremony occurs.


• A Christmas Day visit from Santa Goofy, with surprises for all the kids.


• International holiday caroling by crew members from around the globe (exclusively on the Christmas cruises).


• Special family time for designing and decorating gingerbread houses.


• A reading of "The Night Before Christmas" by Mrs. Claus.


• Traditional holiday feasts in Disney's three themed dining rooms (Christmas cruises only).


• Multiple faith and interdenominational holiday services (Christmas and Hanukkah cruises only).


• A ship-wide party to ring in 2008 and a New Year's Day tailgate party.

The holiday fun even extends to Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. When the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder arrive at the sandy Bahamian isle just after Thanksgiving, the island will be transformed into a Magical Wonderland -- a "snowy" holiday hideaway. "Snow" flurries will fall like magic, Christmas trees will glow and carolers will croon. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman, wearing shell noses and tropical attire, will greet guests with a sleigh full of presents. The tram that transports guests across the 1,000-acre island will be reindeer themed, complete with antlers and tail. At the beach, kids can dive into holiday-themed activities that include making candy cane reindeer, paper plate angels and snowflake mobiles.

The festivities begin on the Disney Magic on a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise departing on Nov. 24, and on a special four-night Bahamian cruise leaving Nov. 21. Guests wishing to spend the Christmas holiday onboard Disney Cruise Line can enjoy a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise beginning Dec. 22, or a four-night Bahamian cruise departing Dec. 23.

From an extra treat on Halloween to a magical holiday season Thanksgiving through the New Year, Disney Cruise Line guests will cherish the memories made on board the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.

Disney Cruise Line Recognized As A Top Cruise Experience

Port Canaveral/CELEBRATION, Fla., (Sept. 6, 2007) -- Disney Cruise Line continues to gain top honors in the cruise industry, most recently being named to Travel + Leisure magazine's "World's Best" awards.

Known for bringing family travel to the cruise industry, Disney Cruise Line continues to raise the bar on the cruise experience, with specifically designed areas and activities for each member of the family allowing for both quality time together and wonderful individual experiences.

Based on reader surveys of thousands of world travelers, the Travel + Leisure "World's Best" awards recognize the best cities, hotels, islands, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators, safari outfitters and car-rental agencies each year. Disney Cruise Line ranked No. 4 in the "Large-Ship" cruise line category. The ranking was determined from answers given by readers when asked to rate cruise lines on cabins, food, service, itineraries, destinations, activities and value.

"We are delighted to be recognized by such an esteemed travel community," said Tom McAlpin, Disney Cruise Line President. "This award is a testament to the continued dedication in creating an unparalleled family cruise vacation. Families know they can trust us to provide a quality, immersive Disney experience."

Up against industry staples known for the best in cruising, Disney Cruise Line has continued moving up on the Travel + Leisure list each year, earning top honors and further confirming a niche position as a family product.

Disney Cruise Line has received nearly 50 distinguished awards and recognitions from the travel industry, since first setting sail in 1998. These awards have included all aspects of the operation from dining and entertainment, to youth activities and spa facilities.

Just this year, Disney Cruise Line earned seven additional top honors including:

• Conde Nast Traveler -- Rated the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder in the top 10 of the "Top 80 Cruise Ships in the World" and named Disney Cruise Line on their "Gold List", which recognizes the top 10 in overall best experience.
• Conde Nast Traveler -- Ranked the Vista Spa and Salon as the #3 cruise line spa.
• Porthole Cruise -- Awarded Disney Cruise Line with a Readers' Choice Award.
• TravelAge West -- Recognized Disney Cruise Line with two Editor's Pick WAVE awards for best overall spa facility and best onboard entertainment.
• AAA -- Awarded Disney Cruise Line with the "Preferred Partner of the Year" designation for surpassing excellence in providing products and services to AAA and its membership.

Disney Cruise Line established the family market within the cruise industry, providing a cruise experience for families to reconnect and recharge while creating vacation memories that will last a lifetime. From a theater featuring live musical spectaculars to a luxurious spa for adults and nearly an entire deck dedicated to children's activities, the ships offer something for every member of the family. Disney Cruise Line continues to grow by attracting passengers who say they would not have cruised if it had not been for the Disney brand.

Just this spring, Disney announced the expansion of its cruise business, signing a contract with Meyer Werft shipyard, of Papenburg, Germany, to build two new ships, scheduled for delivery in 2011 and 2012.

For the first time, Disney Cruise Line ventured to Europe, offering 10- and 11-night Mediterranean itineraries to Spain, Italy and France this summer. The extremely successful itineraries created a brand new family cruise experience by combining the history and culture of Europe with the fun of a Disney cruise.

Next summer (2008), Disney Cruise Line will again return to the Port of Los Angeles for another stint of seven-night Mexican Riviera itineraries, following a wildly successful summer in 2005.
