Disney Magic

The Disney Magic —  along with its sister ship, the Disney Wonder — is a cruise liner that blends classic beauty and grace with all the modern luxuries, technology and comforts that make cruising a pleasure. With its distinctive design, signature yellow trim across the stately bow and room to accommodate 2,400 passengers, the Disney Magic is one of the most admired and recognizable ocean liners in the world—making hundreds of trips to dozens of exotic international ports every year.

In all, the Disney Magic boasts10 expansive decks, a total length of 964 feet, a maximum width of 106 feet and an astonishing gross tonnage of 83,000. Aboard the ship, 945 Cast and Crew Members are on hand to accommodate the needs of each and every Guest, day and night.

Design and Construction of the Disney Magic
Conceived as a “modern classic,” the Disney Magic was designed to evoke all the glamour and beauty of the golden age of ocean travel. With these careful plans, the Disney Magic was built in the legendary Fincantieri shipyards in Italy, revered for the technical ability and ingenuity of its engineers and workforce.

Through painstaking construction and exhaustive tests, a cruise liner with an unprecedented combination of power, speed and sleek beauty took shape. Today, this sturdy vessel contains an environment that is optimally comfortable, secure and, most importantly, family-friendly.

Interior Design of the Disney Magic
The finest in artistry and technology marks the interior design of the Disney Magic. From its creation, the ship was meant to pay homage to the age when ocean liners—once the primary link between Europe and the Americas—represented an era’s very best artists and architects, and evidence of this purpose can be found on every deck.

Specially commissioned paintings, sculptures and woodwork, as well as rare animation cels from the expansive Disney archive make the ship’s Art Deco interior inimitable and distinctive. Rich detail can be observed in everything from the murals and framed pieces that line its interior walls to the gleaming fixtures and furnishings that fill its grandest spaces.

Step inside the luminous atrium lobby and find yourself greeted by the bronze statue of Helmsman Mickey — designed by Walt Disney Imagineers to create a spirit of fun from the minute you board. Overhead, you’ll observe a dazzling chandelier crafted by one of the world’s most celebrated glass artist, Seattle’s Dale Chihuly. The same grandeur encountered in the lobby translates into all the surroundings on the Disney Magic, from its illustrious theatres to its stately staterooms.

This package features a 4-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper® Souvenir Ticket, which is your passport to two amazing Theme Parks filled with all-time favorite attractions, shows and more. It’s the perfect way to experience either Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort or Holidays at the Disneyland Resort.

Ready for the MAC + Disney collaboration Venomous Villains for the fall/winter season? Debuting September 30th at a MAC counter near you, this limited edition collection is expected to sell out quickly. Featured in the 4-villain collection are Dr. Facelier from “The Princess & the Frog”, Cruella De Vil from “101 Dalmatians”, The Evil Queen from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, and my favorite – Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty”. Each collection focuses on a color palette tuned to the film villains themselves, going as far as using the original Pantone colors from the movies! You’ll find shades of purple in 3 of them… only Cruella De Vil’s palette doesn’t use this regal color.

Can’t wait? Maybe, just maybe, the collection will be available online as early as September 27th, but it’s just a rumor. Prices (subject to change) fall in the $12 to $29.50 range and the collections feature MAC favorites like Lipglass, Lipgelee, and Greasepaint Sticks. The Magically Cool Liquid Powder from the Dr. Facelier collection intrigues me, especially Truth and Light which sounds like it goes on smooth and cool with just a hint of silver & pink reflection. Perfect for this fair princess!

Here’s a look at the press pics of all of the lines:
