A Little "Girl" Talk With Minnie Mouse

You know, one of the best parts of a Disney Destination vacation is getting the chance to meet some of the Disney characters. And while most of the characters don't speak, you and your kids can still create a magical moment.

Magical Travel owner Denise Hafto recently visited Walt Disney World with her family - and she captured this sweet moment between her granddaughter and Minnie Mouse. After all, what little girl doesn't like to chat about shoes? :)

Have you or your kids ever had a magical moment with a Disney character? Comment below with a picture or post it on our Magical Travel Facebook page.

Big Changes In Store For the Disney Dream Cruise Ship

Disney just announced today there will be tons of new experiences coming to the Disney Dream cruise ship! Here are just a few of the new spaces you and your family will be able to enjoy soon, as announced on the Disney Parks Blog:

Star Wars: Millennium Falcon

In Disney's Oceaneer Club, kids are in for an out-of-this-galaxy experience in a newly themed play, Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, inspired by the spacecraft from the legendary saga.

There will also be Star Wars-themed crafts, games and activities in this space. Plus, kids can watch episodes from the new Disney XD animated series, “Star Wars Rebels,” on a large screen or virtually join the rebellion at gaming stations featuring the series’ action-packed adventures.

The excitement continues during a shipboard version of the popular Jedi Training Academy experience that invites young Jedi hopefuls – known as “Padawans” – to learn lightsaber moves from a Jedi Master. They can then use the Force and face off in a final test against the evil Darth Vader.

Disney Infinity Toy Box

Also in the Oceaneer Club, a high-tech interactive space based on the Disney Infinity video game offers more fun for kids. In the Disney Infinity Toy Box area, children can experience a whole new way of playing together with exciting virtual experiences and activities. Special activities will bring the virtual gameplay experience to life in the real world. 

Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats

Handmade gelato and ice cream, an assortment of candy, and delectable novelty treats are some of the deliciousness available for purchase at Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats. Resembling the whimsical candy land of the Sugar Rush race car game in “Wreck-It Ralph,” the sweet shop’s décor features nods to the film, including a race track and checkerboard patterned floor, gas pump-style gumball dispensers, Vanellope’s race car and King Candy’s throne. This specialty store coming to Deck 11 will have two entrances, inside Cabana’s restaurant and outside by the pool deck.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, coming to Deck 5 midship, will bring to life the storybook fantasies of young guests with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers. This very special salon will offer aspiring princesses and knights ages three to 12 the chance to transform into royalty with the help of a fairy godmother-in-training. On pirate party night this boutique becomes The Pirates League where swashbuckling pirates of all ages will have the opportunity to unleash their inner buccaneer.

Satellite Falls

Exclusively for adults, Deck 13 forward will include a new water feature, Satellite Falls, a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.

This wave of enhancements to the Disney Dream debuts on the Oct. 26 four-night voyage from Port Canaveral. Which new space are you most excited about?

*JUST ANNOUNCED* New show on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship

Just announced

“Tangled: The Musical” is coming to Disney Cruise Line! This all-new, Broadway-style stage show, featuring songs by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken, will be premiering this November on the Disney Magic!
