Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the Disney Fantasy 06/05/2011

At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on the Disney Fantasy, aspiring young princesses and pirates receive the full fairy tale treatment with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers at this very special salon. 


When young princesses-to-be make their royal entrance at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, they are greeted by their very own Fairy Godmother-in-training who transforms them with magical makeovers such as the Disney Diva, the Pop Princess or the Fairy Tale Princess. A variety of royal treatment packages include combinations of hairstyle, shimmering makeup and nails. Princess costumes, complete with crown, wand and shoes also are available.


Exclusive to Disney Cruise Line, Captain Mickey Mouse, Princess Minnie Mouse and First Mate Minnie Mouse makeovers plus special Under the Sea packages will be offered.


On pirate party nights aboard the Disney Fantasy, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique transforms into the Pirate’s League, where swashbuckling boys, girls and grownups can get ready for the pirate life.


Each guest checking in at the plunder-filled pirate’s lair gets an official pirate name.  Then it’s off to Muster Station for applications of beards and bandanas, swords and scars, earrings and eye patches – all done with the savvy skill of a pirate master who shares his own tales of sea-sailing adventures.


After the new buccaneers recite a sacred pirate oath, they are officially part of Captain Jack’s motley crew, leaving their old identities behind.  The shipmates and scoundrels are then turned loose on their pirate vessel.


Guests can choose from two pirate packages – First Mate (includes bandana, facial scars tattoos, fake teeth, earring, eye patch, sword and sheath) or Empress (includes bandana, shimmering makeup, face gem, tattoos, nail polish, earring, eye patch, sword and sheath).

Disney Fantasy: First Look! 06/04/2011

Disney Fantasy Arium
You will love the fantastic new design elements and experiences on the Disney Fantasy when the ship sets sail on March 31, 2012.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the unique features onboard:

"Animation Magic" at Animator's Palate:
The magic of Disney animation comes into the dining room with a new show called "Animation Magic." The dinner show celebrates the magic of Disney animation and allows families to create and participate in a whole new way. As you are seated, you are invited to draw a character all your own using a simple template on your placemat. During dinner, animated black-and-white drawings of Mickey Mouse appear on large monitors. When Mickey places the Sorcerer's hat upon his head, magical transformations happen around the room! For a finale, Mickey conjures your drawings - now fully animated and brought to life - into the onscreen action for a parade around the room. At the conclusion, you will have your character drawing returned to you with an added touch - a golden seal proclaiming you as an Official Disney Animator!

Europa Nighttime Entertainment District:
Adults step into a world all their own at Europa - a nighttime entertainment district, exclusively for Guests 18 and older, that features sophisticated bars and trendy lounges inspired by the very best in European travel.
  • La Piazza draws inspiration from Italian cities and their decorative outdoor plazas. The bar is modeled after a colorful vintage carousel. Venetian masks and a classic Vespa with sidecar add to the Italian flair
  • Skyline is a chic bar that provides ever-changing, birds-eye views of stunning European city skylines that transform from day to night.
  • O'Gill's Pub is a rollicking Irish bar with modern-day twists. Dark woods, brass accents and a selection of Irish beers create the perfect pub atmosphere for sipping a pint and watching live sporting events.
  • Ooh La La is inspired by an elegant French boudoir adorned with velvet tufted walls, Victorian furniture and Louis XIV-style chaise lounges. A jewel-box feature bar is backed with sparkling diamond-like facets.
  • The Tube transports you to a vibrant metropolitan club via the London Underground. Guests "mind the gap" as you walk across a Tube route map, pose by a red English phone booth and dance atop an illuminated Union Jack dance floor.
"Disney's Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular":
A new ship means new main stage entertainment at the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre. Magic lamps, wise-cracking genies, princesses and evil wizards are all a part of this fast-paced musical comedy. Of course, the production would not be complete without a magic flying carpet scene, which combines mechanical wizardry with state-of-the-art projections, allowing Jasmine and Aladdin to soar as they perform a heartfelt duet.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique:
Aspiring young princesses and pirates receive the full fairy-tale treatment with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers at this very special salon.
Exclusive to Disney Cruise Line® - Captain Mickey Mouse, Princess Minnie Mouse and First Mate Minnie Mouse makeovers as well as special "Under the Sea" packages will be offered. On pirate party nights, the salon transforms into the Pirate's League, where swashbuckling boys, girls and grownups can get ready for the pirate life.

Atrium Lobby - Mademoiselle Minnie Mouse:
The magnificent three-deck atrium lobby is reminiscent of grand ocean liners of the Golden Age. A focal point is a cascading chandelier of stained glass and crystal beads. The pièce de résistance of the magnificent space is the atrium lobby statue - Mademoiselle Minnie Mouse. Inspired by travel of the 1920s and 1930s, Minnie, cast in bronze and dressed in vintage fashion with a parasol and steamer luggage at her side, serves to welcome all Guests who board the ship.

Royal Court:
You will be immersed in the lavish surroundings of an elegant dining room fit for a grand palace. Royal Court takes design inspiration from classic Disney films like "Cinderella," "Snow White," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Sleeping Beauty." Hand-crafted mosaic-tile murals of the princesses and their princes grace the walls. Inspired by the mosaic tile murals in Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom® Park, the mosaics are being meticulously created by skilled Italian craftspeople using more than 200,000 individual tiles.

Bookings Are Open:
The 4,000-passenger ship will sail 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral, Fla., beginning with its maiden voyage set for March 31, 2012.  GET YOUR QUOTE ONLINE OR CONTACT US NOW AT  281-380-3437
