The latest Disney fix I got was my January West Caribbean cruise on the Disney Magic. Since it's the freshest in my mind, that's the first ship that I am going to post about. Also, today is the 17th anniversary of its launch!!
The Disney Magic was the first ship in the Disney Cruise Line (DCL) fleet. It was built at TWO different Italian shipyards, 100 miles away from each other! After six months of construction one of the halves sailed towards the other. Imagineers and construction workers were all worried that it wouldn't fit. Would they fit?! The fear! The tense situation! I’ll spare you that experience and tell you that with everything Disney does, it was practically perfect in every way. On July 30, 1998, the Disney Magic embarked on it's maiden voyage.
It's godmother is Roy E. Disney's ex-wife Patty Disney.
