It’s become quite a tradition within Disney Cruise Lines to immortalize a Disney characters by having them adorn the sterns of each ship in playful fashion.  So far, we’ve seen Goofy touching up the paint on the Magic, Donald working on the Wonder (with a little “help” from one of his nephews), and Sorcerer Mickey “magicking” the work done on the Dream.
So, who will serve as the Stern for the much anticipated Disney Fantasy, Disney’s fourth ship, which is due next spring?  Why, everyone’s favorite flying elephant, Dumbo!
While Imagineers put …

It just became a little easier to ride Aqua Duck if you’re a kid.
Previously, Disney Cruise Line required that all riders of its water roller coaster, which made its debut on the recently christened Disney Dream, be 48 inches or taller.  As of last Thursday, however, the height requirement has been lowered to 42 inches.  But riding solo?  You have to measure in at 54 inches tall and be at least seven to have the inner tube all to yourself.
The restrictions, which are still being fine-tuned, seem to have more …

We’ve all watched every moment, every movement, every development of Disney’s newest ship, the Dream.  But as she successfully embarks on her Caribbean itinerary, it’s time to turn our attention to her younger sister:  the Fantasy.
The Disney Fantasy is being built in Germany, by the same storied shipbuilder that produced the Dream.  And today, she’ll mark a milestone of her own, as Disney and Meyer Werft conduct the traditional keel-laying ceremony.
The Disney Fantasy will be a sister ship to the Dream, and as such, will be quite similar.  Both ships will accomadate …

Guests to Disneyland will get the first chance to see a brand new exhibit tomorrow morning, as Magic on the Water:  The Art of the “Happiest Fleet on Earth” opens with the park at The Disney Gallery.
