Disney Fantasy Overview / Planning Tools
The Disney Fantasy is the fourth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and will sail her maiden voyage on March 31, 2012. A sister ship to the Disney Dream, the Disney Fantasy will feature an AquaDuck water coaster, magical children’s areas, world-class entertainment, delightful dining, retreats for adults and immersive experiences for guests of all ages with beloved Disney stories and characters. This massive ship features 14 decks and has 1,250 staterooms. As guests have come to expect from Disney Cruise Line, the newest ship combines state of the art technology with the elegance and grandeur of old-time ocean liners. Every Disney Cruise Line ship has a signature character; the Fantasy is no different. The ship's atrium will be home to a bronze statue of Mademoiselle Minnie Mouse. Keeping in line with the vintage travel theme seen around the ship, Minnie will be dressed in fashions from the 1920s and 30s, complete with a parasol and steamer trunk.
The Disney Fantasy will sail out of Port Canaveral, Fla. on the popular seven-night Caribbean itineraries – alternating eastern and western – including a stop at Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.

Restaurants
The popular Animator's Palate restaurant will be on this ship as well, but a new twist will be added. An interactive dinner show called Animation Magic will involve the guests in the animation shown during the meal. Guests are invited to draw Disney characters on placemats when they first come into the restaurant; servers will collect the completed drawings, which later show up as animation on screens around the room. The guests' names will be shown and will later receive their drawings back with a special animator's stamp added. The show uses special Disney-created software to bring the drawings to life, along with a brand-new musical score and never-before-scenes from Disney films.
In addition to Animation Magic, Undersea Magic will also be shown during one of the other nights. Undersea Magic was new on the Disney Dream and features Crush from "Finding Nemo" who interacts with diners all around the room.
Entertainment
Stage Shows:
Like the other ships in the fleet, the Disney Fantasy will also offer Broadway-style stage shows at night. There will be two new shows performed. Details of one show have come out - "Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular" is a musical comedy with many of the classic scenes and songs from the film that can also be seen at Disney California Adventure. At times, performers will be in the aisles of the theater, making guests feel like they're a part of the show. A new song, "To Be Free," will be included and was written for the show by Alan Menken, who composed the original score. In addition to the two new shows, other productions offered will be a Welcome Aboard show, Disney's Believe and a Farewell show.
Theme Nights:
Themed "dress-up nights" have always been popular on the Disney ships, so Disney Cruise Line is making things a little easier for guests on the Fantasy. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be available for makeovers, including hair, makeup, nails and costumes. Exclusive Disney Cruise Line packages will be available, allowing guests to transform into Captain Mickey Mouse, Princess Minnie Mouse, and First Mate Minnie Mouse. An Under The Sea package is available as well. For the pirate nights, the Boutique will become the Pirate's League, offering such pirate garb as makeup, swords, earrings and eye patches. Just like in the theme parks, the First Mate and Empress packages will be available.
Adults Only:
- La Piazza is a lounge inspired by Italy and their famous outdoor plazas.
- Skyline is a bar that offers panoramic views of European skylines as they transform from day to night. This bar has a counterpart on the Disney Dream featuring American cities. Because of its popularity on the Dream, Skyline on the Fantasy is one third bigger than its predecessor.
- O'Gill's Pub features classic Irish pub decor as well as HD TVs broadcasting live sporting events.
- Ooh La La, the ship's champagne bar, will remind guests of a French boudoir, complete with velvet walls, mirrors and a bar designed to look like a sparking jewel box.
- The Tube dance club is like stepping into the London transportation system. Floors are covered with route maps, the bar is inspired by Big Ben, and there's even a photo op with a red English phone booth.
Recreation
Pools and Water Features:
The 1,800-square-foot AquaLab water play area on Deck 12 will be filled with water pop jets, geysers and bubblers, perfect to keep the whole family cool. Just as Disney does with all their attractions, there is a story to how the AquaLab came to be. Huey, Dewey and Louie, Donald Duck's nephews, created the AquaLab, but it's up to young cruisers to operate the AquaLab to keep the AquaDuck up and running for the other guests! At three different stations, there are wheels to turn and levers to pull, "controling" the speed and temperature of the Aqua Duck water coaster. One leaky wall invites kids to cover squirting holes and pipes, soaking themselves in the process. The Ducky Dinghy leaks water from overhead.
AquaLab isn't the only new water feature to be found on the Disney Fantasy. On Deck 12 Forward, a canopy shades a fountain surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing near the water. An adults-only area on Deck 13 Forward includes a circular splash pool with benches and a rain curtain.

We have secured space and pricing on this cruise through Disney Cruise Line's groups department. We will be limiting the number of passengers on this sailing the same as we did for PCC 3.0. The magic number seems to be 400 as that allows us access to all of the various venues on the ship without going over the maximum occupancy. This will provide us with different options when it comes to planning events for this cruise. Obviously it is way too early too talk about any special plans for this cruise but you know we will do our best to make it a special and memorable experience for everyone.
