The newest ship in the Disney fleet, the Disney Fantasy, will leave port for her maiden voyage on March 31. Although the Fantasy is the sister ship to the Dream, there will be all new experiences on board. including “Wishes”, the Muppets Adventure Game, Aqua Lab, Europa, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and Animation Magic.
