‘Whole New World’ of Entertainment Coming to the Disney Fantasy

When you sail on Disney Cruise Line's the Disney Fantasy, you'll be treated to a ‘whole new world’ of dazzling entertainment offerings in 2019! “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” is premiering a reimagined look, a pair of royal sisters brings some “Frozen” fun to the lineup of the Walt Disney Theatre this fall and a new deck party will give families a once-in-a-lifetime chance to celebrate Mickey’s 90th this summer!  

The reimagined version of “Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” has debuted on the Disney Fantasy thanks to the creative minds of Disney and a team of Broadway’s top artists. Along with an updated script and enriched storylines, the show has brand-new choreography, score additions, puppetry, reimagined costumes, lighting, video/projection design and exciting pyrotechnics. Just in time for the live action movie’s release, this production is sure to delight theatergoers of all ages and will help inspire the next generation of “Aladdin” fans.

Favorite Pixar Friends Join the Party

Exclusive to the Disney Wonder, the Pixar Pals Party gives guests the chance to hang out with all of their favorite Pixar characters in one spot! Hosted in the lobby atrium, this musical celebration includes friends from “Up,” “Toy Story” and “Ratatouille.”

A Full Day of “Frozen” Festivities

One day during every Alaska cruise, you are transported to the land of “Frozen” for a day of fun with Anna, Elsa and friends. Highlights include a magical freeze that overtakes the atrium, exciting “Frozen”-themed activities and a dining experience inspired by traditional Nordic fare. The day culminates in a high-energy deck party where our friends from Arendelle take you along for a fun night of singing, dancing and games.

While the current Alaska season is nearly complete, the Disney Wonder will return to America’s Last Frontier next year with a variety of five-, seven- and nine-night itineraries departing from Vancouver, Canada.
