Disney Cruise Ships, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder
Disney
Cruises operates two ship, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. The Magic set sail under the Disney theme
on July 30, 1998 and the Disney Wonder followed a year later on August 15, 1999. Each of the two ships has 875
staterooms and are virtually identical in their design, with a few variations in their restaurants and entertainment
settings. Both ships offer areas designed exclusively for various age groups, including toddlers, young kids,
teens, and adults making them a one of a kind family cruise experience.
The Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder are the first cruise ships in the industry to be designed and built
from the keel up as family cruise liners, with the goal of giving both parents and children a cruise of their
own. One of the things many parents greatly appreciate is that neither ship includes a casino.

Updates on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship
CELEBRATION, Fla. – New enhancements are now in place on the Disney Magic as the ship returns from dry dock. The 2,700 passenger cruise ship received a series of upgrades from Sept 6 - 24, 2008.
Here is a glimpse at what's new onboard the Disney Magic:
Indulgence and Relaxation
Quiet Cove, the serene pool retreat reserved for the enjoyment of adults, received a makeover including upgrades
to Cove Café, the pool and the deck area. Cove Café, the ship’s sophisticated coffee lounge,
now features a new seating area with plush, comfortable chairs providing the perfect venue to relax while sipping
a cup of gourmet coffee. Meanwhile, the adult pool was outfitted with soothing, cascading waterfalls from the
two hot tubs. Teak deck and lounge chairs with plush cushions line the pool, creating an inviting, stylish
ambiance in line with the Vista Spa and Salon.
Fun for the Little Ones
The Oceaneer Club, a Neverland-themed play space for 3-7 year olds, and the Oceaneer Lab, a whacky and interactive
laboratory exclusively for 8-12 year olds, were enhanced with new registration areas that make the check-in
process more efficient and hassle-free. This sets the stage for incorporating Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) technology in the youth activity areas later this year, which will further enhance and streamline the
check-in process. The technology uses RFID tags embedded on wristbands, allowing children to simply tap a sensor
to check in and out of the clubs.
Even the youngest cruisers now have a splashtacular time in “Mickey’s Splash Zone,” a new toddler water playground inspired by Fantasia’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This 385-square-foot extension to the Mickey Pool on deck 9 features star- and moon-shaped interactive fountains, a soft play surface and whimsical splash zones; creating an inviting environment for children not yet toilet trained and in swim diapers.
New Conveniences
The guest staterooms onboard the Disney Magic received an infusion of technology with the installation of flat-screen
LCD television sets. The new 22-inch units are mounted on a swivel arm to allow easy viewing from multiple
locations within the stateroom.
A leader in the family cruise segment, Disney Cruise Line offers three-, four- and seven-night itineraries to The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Land/sea vacation packages that include a stay at the Walt Disney World Resort are also available.
