The Disney Magic — April 2001

Mickey welcomes the Loftus Family aboard the Disney Magic As you would expect, when you sail with Captain Mickey, you go first class. The Disney Magic is 964 feet long and displaces 83,000 tons. It has 800+ cabins for 2,800 passengers.

What do you do on a Disney cruise, besides enjoy the ocean air?

Well, there's swimming in the pools (one in the shape of Mickey's head, with a water slide!); live shows in the Walt Disney Theater every night; the beach at St. Maarten's; and a catamaran sail from St. Thomas to St John's. Plus, there are visits with all the Disney characters, including a chance to dance poolside with Goofy—the opportunity of a lifetime for most people!

All along the way, the Magic's crew does its best to help you enjoy every bit of the trip—and their best is very good indeed.
