Showing Out and Showing Off: Entertainment Aboard Disney Dream  

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Mickey’s Sail-A-Wave Party is a rite of passage on every Disney cruise. So of course, a Bon Voyage Celebration is a special and ceremonial part of every first day of sailing aboard the Disney Fantasy, and so are the fireworks (we love the fireworks.)

 

Disney Fantasy also hosts Pixar Day at Sea, a fun-filled experience featuring character appearances, special entertainment, and themed dining.

 

And because entertainment is as synonymous with cruising as buffets, Disney Cruise Line also features several original Broadway-style stage shows, some of which rotate to different ships. Each ship offers three shows per sailing so you have plenty to keep you entertained. At least one show is sure to be is inspired by a classic Disney movie, while another is an original story found only aboard Disney Cruise Line.

 

Shows aboard Disney Fantasy right now include: 

 

Disney’s Aladdin

 

Frozen: A Musical Spectacular

Disney’s Believe. A story that will no doubt feel familiar to many of the hardworking parents in the audience, Disney’s Believe is a spellbinding musical about a workaholic father who reconnects with his daughter with the help of a little Disney magic (we’re not crying, you’re crying.)

Keeping Busy: Fitness, Sports, & Activities Aboard Disney Dream

​

While just running from one activity to another could put you well over the step goal, Disney Fantasy offers state-of-the-art fitness centers boasting cool cardio equipment, weight machines, and even classes like weight machines and even classes like aerobics, yoga, Pilates instruction, and more classes*. You can even schedule a session with a personal trainer (additional fees apply.)

 

Hop on over to the Wide World of Sports Deck to shoot a little open-air basketball or get your  ping-pong on. It wouldn’t be a cruise ship without shuffleboard, and of course, there is a running track. On Disney Fantasy, this can be found outside on deck 4.

Make a Splash: Hanging Poolside on Disney Dream​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

The AquaDuck first debuted on the Disney Dream, and like the launch of the Magic, changed cruising (yet again) forever. This 765-foot waterslide also offered here on Disney Fantasy sends guests swooping around the ship - even over the side - in an enclosed, transparent tube on a 2-person raft. Guests must be 42″ tall or taller to ride with a buddy, while single riders must be 54″ or taller. Guests must also be 7 years old or older to ride alone. Kids under 7 (if they are 42″ or taller) must ride with someone at least 14 years old.

 

All thrilled out? Stop by the family pools: Mickey’s Pool and Donald’s Pool. Mickey’s Pool (which has a yellow slide supported by Mickey’s giant gloved hand) and Donald’s pool (what else would you call two competing pools?) 

 

In addition to the adults-exclusive Quiet Cove Pool, the Disney Fantasy is home to Satellite Falls, an adults-exclusive wading pool (see? There is something for everyone.) And for the littlest guests, there’s Nemo’s Reef, the perfect spot for kids 8 and under.

Youth Gone Wild: How Disney Cruise Line Makes Cruising Magical for Kids 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Naturally the Disney Fantasy is equipped with oodles of kid-friendly fun. Unlike other cruise lines, Disney doesn’t overlook the littlest members of your party. Children from 6 months to 3 years old (or starting from the age of one year on Transatlantic, Hawai’i and Panama Canal itineraries) can play and nap in the It’s a Small World-themed nursery (get it?) There is an additional charge and advance reservations are required, but it’s a great way for mom and dad to get some time with the older kids, or to just get a chance to explore the ship while little ones get the down time they need. 

 

Here are the best things for kids to do on Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Fantasy: 

 

Andy’s Room: Reach for the sky! It’s just like being inside Andy’s room! Hang with Hamm, Rex, and the rest of the Toy Story gang from the iconic Pixar classic. 

 

Disney Infinity Game Room. Test your skills with an archery challenge, get revved by the Disney Racers program, or summon your inner Picasso with Infinity Draw.

 

Pixie Hollow. Full of whimsy and wonder, Pixie Hollow is home to Tinkerbell and her friends - and now you can see it firsthand about Disney Dream. Play dress-up, work on individual craft projects, use kid-friendly tablets, and listen to stories.

 

Star Wars: Millennium Falcon. Join the Rebel Alliance in this intergalactic arena where you can design a starship, train like a Jedi, climb into Han Solo’s cockpit and send the “fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” soaring through the Star Wars universe.

 

Puzzle Playtime with Mickey and Friends. Mickey Mouse and company stop by to play some games with Disney Cruise Line’s youngest seafarers and their families.

 

Jedi Training: Experience the Force. Take your first step into a larger world as you learn the ways of the Force.

 

Get the Hook! Find Captain Hook’s favorite dress hook! Join Detective Clue for a 3-day search that leads kids from one crime scene to the next—catch the culprit and collect a reward from the Captain himself.

Piston Cup Challenge: Who knew you could build a race car from a bar of soap?! The Disney Imagineers, of course. Stop in for some fun themed for Disney’s “Cars.”

 

Anyone Can Cook: Inspired by “Ratatouille,” kids will learn how to measure and mix ingredients - they’ll even bake their own chocolate-chip cookies!

 

Super Sloppy Science with Professor Make-O-Mess: Laugh, learn, and turn the lab upside down with the world-famous scientist who loves mayhem almost as much as he  loves science.

​

For the Bigger Kids: Edge

 

Designed for tweens and teens from the ages of 11 to 14, Edge bridges the gap between the whimsy and cool (kids aged 11-12 can choose to visit Disney’s Oceaneer Club & Lab or Edge). 

 

Entertainment at Edge includes:

A 98ʺ flat-screen plasma TV for watching Disney movies

Dance floor for parties and games

 

For the Biggest Kids (besides mom and dad)

Both Vibe and Edge host various activities aimed at tweens/teens both inside the youth clubs and throughout the ship, including pool parties and lunches.
