The Disney Traveler

Lots of Disney news has been coming from the Orlando Sentinel during the past week or so.  Today, I have news to share about the Disney Magic cruise ship and cool upgrades that are coming!

1. A new 385-square-foot Fantasia-themed splash pool will be added onto the Mickey Pool on deck 9 of the ship, and it will be called Mickey’s Splash Zone.  As you’d expect, it will include elements related to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice part of the Fantasia movie with fountains shaped like stars and moons!  An area for babies in swim diapers will also be added.
2. New 22-inch LCD TV sets on swivel arms will be added in the cabins, so guests can watch television from any part of the their cabins.
3. New waterfalls will be added to the two hot tubs in the pool located in the Quiet Cove adult area.
4. New chairs will be added to the Cove Cafe.
5. New registration areas will be added to the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab kid areas.  The new registration areas will add a radio frequency identification system that will allow kids to check into and out of the kid areas by swiping wristbands that include a tag in them over a sensor.

These sound like some great changes, and they make me want to go on a Disney Cruise right now!  I’ll have to settle for going to the Magic Kingdom tomorrow.  Actually, that’s not settling, is it?  It’s even better!  But a vacation would be nice.
