Disney Cruise Line Guests Team Up with Crew Members to Help Protect Chimpanzees
posted on April 24th, 2012 by Rebecca Peddie, Manager of Public Affairs at Disney Cruise Line
This week, guests on all four Disney Cruise Line ships for the first time took part in a “Walk for Wildlife” alongside crew members to help raise funds for the Jane Goodall Institute through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. On behalf of hundreds of guests and crew members who turned out for the walks, Disney Cruise Line donated $5,000 to help support chimpanzee habitats, care for orphaned chimpanzees and support education.
What first began as a crew member event three years ago has grown into a unique opportunity for guests and crew members to connect with nature and each other, while raising awareness for a great cause. Nearly $30,000 has been given to environmental charities, as a result of company and personal crew member donations, since the program started. Those onboard the Disney ships walked on Disney’s private island, scenic Castaway Cay (on separate days), while more than 3,000 miles away, guests and crew members walked in the ocean breezes onboard the Disney Wonder.

What did you do this weekend in honor of Earth Day?

Disney Cruise Line Offers Walt Disney World Resort Port Adventures for Guests
posted on April 20th, 2012 by Arnaldo Zanonato, Port Adventures Manager
During the 8-night Disney Magic voyages from New York to the Bahamas this summer, guests are in for a special treat! Not only will they enjoy a stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, they also have the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World Resort for a day.
A one-day park hopper ticket is included in each guest’s voyage, meaning they can visit not one but all four major theme parks! Even better – round trip transportation is included.
To celebrate these exciting voyages, we added exclusive experiences throughout Walt Disney World Resort for Disney Cruise Line guests, such as the VIP tours that I shared with you recently. Another one of my favorite offerings is the Illuminations Fireworks Dessert Party at Epcot, a private viewing for Disney Cruise Line guests and the perfect way to end a day filled with magic and discovery!
With the opportunity to visit Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, the biggest decision guests have to make is where they will start and end their day. What would you recommend for a first-time Walt Disney World Resort visitor?

“Hi-ho the me-ri-o, that’s the only way to be…” I haven’t been able to stop singing this song after seeing “Disney Wishes” aboard the Disney Fantasy. The number “I’ve Got No Strings” from “Pinocchio” is just one of the heart-pounding scenes I love in this brand-new original show.
Of course with a 7-night itinerary, “Disney Wishes” isn’t the only stage spectacular on the Disney Fantasy. But rather than tell you about the others, I’d rather just show you with another “Inside the Disney Fantasy” video from Assistant Cruise Director Natalie. Check it out…

An Exclusive Interview with Pepe the King Prawn About the Disney Fantasy
posted on April 12th, 2012 by Jonathan Frontado, Disney Cruise Line
By now you’ve probably heard that the Muppets are starring in the new Midship Detective Agency game aboard the Disney Fantasy. It’s one of the favorite new guest experiences, so when we found out that one of the stars of the game, Pepe the King Prawn, was sailing, we sent investigative reporter John to catch up with him.
The interview started out a bit rocky after a miscommunication between Pepe and John, but they soon smoothed things over. Check out this video of John’s hilarious one-on-one interaction with the King Prawn himself…

Disney Theatrical Group Welcomes Disney Cruise Line Guests to New York City This Summer
posted on April 6th, 2012 by Arnaldo Zanonato, Port Adventures Manager
For guests sailing on the Disney Magic voyages from New York City this summer, Disney Cruise Line and the Disney Theatrical Group put together an amazing experience that I want to tell you about!
Before or after their cruise, guests are able to book a Disney-exclusive tour of the historical New Amsterdam Theatre. Disney Theatrical tour guides will share information on future productions and guests will visit areas not open to the general public, such as the props archive room…
After the tour, guests will enjoy a performance of one of two Disney Broadway hits: The Lion King or Mary Poppins!
This offer, exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests, is a great way to extend a magical cruise vacation in the grand city of New York. Who will be joining us in the Big Apple this summer?
