A Magical Winter Holiday Awaits Aboard Disney Cruise Line

This year, unwrap a holiday adventure for the whole family: a cruise aboard the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream or Disney Fantasy, all decked out with holiday cheer.

Starting early November, Disney Cruise Line adds sparkle to each ship during Very Merrytime Cruises, with traditional “turkey day” fanfare, Christmas feasts, “snow flurries” and more. During these voyages, special stem-to-stern holiday events include:

  • “Mickey’s Tree-Lighting Magic” in the atrium lobby on the first night of the cruise, where Disney characters lead holiday carols and the lighting of the glittering, three-deck-tall tree.
  • “Santa’s Winter Wonderland Ball” in the atrium lobby, where Disney cruisers welcome the guests of honor, Santa and Mrs. Claus, with a grand celebration featuring Broadway-style entertainment, favorite Disney characters and classic holiday tunes. This evening of enchantment is made complete when a special pair of royal sisters joins the party and causes a flurry of “frozen” fun as a magical snowfall overtakes the atrium.
  • Dickens-inspired carolers carrying the spirit of the holidays throughout the ship while singing holiday classics, sometimes with the help of favorite Disney friends. At the end of the cruise, children will have the opportunity to join the carolers onstage for a special farewell show.
  • Family holiday activities including building gingerbread houses and meeting Santa Claus.
  • Youth holiday crafts such as decorating stockings and gingerbread men cookies, making holiday cards and creating holiday animation cells.
  • “Deck the Deck Holiday Party,” a tropical celebration with Disney friends leading games such as hula hooping and limbo under oversized candy canes, along with dances for the whole family like the “Yuletide Slide” and a conga line around the pool.
  • A special holiday edition of the cheerful farewell celebration on the final night of the cruise, with beloved Disney characters and the ship’s crew in an engaging musical finale led by Mickey Mouse.

On Thanksgiving Day, guests will enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving Day feast and visits from Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dressed in traditional Thanksgiving attire. Also during the special Thanksgiving voyages, NFL football games will be broadcast live on the ships’ outdoor, jumbo LED screens – Funnel Vision – located near the family pool.

On Christmas morning at the atrium lobby tree, Santa Claus and his helpers will have a surprise for all the kids, and guests will delight in a special musical performance from the children. A traditional Christmas dinner will be served that night in the dining rooms.

Christmas services will be held on Christmas Day with a midnight mass on Christmas Eve. Hanukkah services will be held each day, Dec. 2 to Dec. 10.

When the ships stop at Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, during the holidays, the celebration continues with “snow flurries,” a decked-out Christmas tree, Disney character meet-and-greets and holiday island music.

To celebrate the holidays, the Disney Magic sails four-, five- and seven-night Bahamian cruises, five- and six-night Eastern Caribbean cruises, and five-night Western Caribbean cruises departing Nov. 10 to Dec. 23; the Disney Wonder sails four-, six- and seven-night Western Caribbean cruises and seven-night Bahamian cruises departing from Nov. 2 to Dec. 21; the Disney Dream sails three- and four-night Bahamian cruises departing from Nov. 9 to Dec. 24; and the Disney Fantasy sails seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises departing from Nov. 10 to Dec. 22.

Hot Topic’s new modern Disney Princess collection is here, and every item is a dream come true

And thankfully, with Hot Topic’s latest collaboration with lifestyle brand Her Universe, you won’t have to. Just because you might work in an office (and maybe only visit a Disney Theme Park once a year), doesn’t mean you still can’t try to live every day like the princess you know you are — and do so in outfits that are perfect to go from day to night and everywhere in between.

Photos – Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Visits Toy Story Land During Offseason Training at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and members of his wide receiver corps took a break from offseason training at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to pal around with Woody and Jessie, stars of the Pixar Animation Studios Toy Story films, in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

As NFL training camp draws near, Prescott and receivers Michael Gallup, Deonte Thompson, Lance Lenoir Jr. and Allen Hurns have been preparing for the upcoming season by working out at Disney. In their free time, they have enjoyed the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, including Toy Story Land, the newest expansion at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Like Prescott and his teammates, guests can meet Woody and other Toy Story favorites, such as Jessie and Buzz Lightyear, throughout the day in the newly opened Toy Story Land. The 11-acre land opened June 30, 2018, and transports Walt Disney World Resort guests into the adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard, where they feel like they are the size of a toy.
