Disney Cruise Line to split time in Florida, Puerto Rico and California for early 2019

Disney Cruise Line will have all four ships based in Florida for at least part of the first half of 2019, but Disney Wonder will also be visiting Puerto Rico and California.

The cruise line revealed plans for its fleet for sailings from January-May with bookings open to the public beginning Nov. 2.

Once again, the line’s largest and newest ships will keep sailing from Port Canaveral, but will be joined in February by Disney Wonder after a series of sailings from San Juan, Puerto Rico in January.

Disney Wonder will then make its way via a 14-night Panama Canal cruise to begin two months of sailing the Mexican Riviera and Baja, California out of San Diego.

Disney Magic will continue to sail from PortMiami on four- and five-night Bahamas cruises, some with stops in Key West, and five-night western Caribbean cruises, some with stops in Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; and Falmouth, Jamaica.

Disney Fantasy will continue seven-night alternating eastern and western Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral while Disney Dream will sail three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas.

All sailings from Florida will include stops at Disney’s private island Castaway Cay.

Disney Wonder’s January sailings to and from Puerto Rico include its five-night shift from Galveston, Texas on Jan. 9 that includes a stop in Falmouth, Jamaica. Its three round-trip voyages from San Juan will be either six- or seven-night southern Caribbean sailings, and there will be one four-night repositioning sailing from San Juan to Port Canaveral on Feb. 3.

In Port Canaveral, Disney Wonder will sail three- and four-night Bahamas cruises similar to Disney Dream.

When in San Diego, Disney Wonder will offer two-, four-, five- and seven-night voyages hitting Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Disney Cruise Line welcomes ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to Disney Dream

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is an animated classic turned live action blockbuster and now it has been transformed into a musical stage show as well. Disney on Thursday officially unveiled a live version of the hit musical film on the 2,500-passenger Disney Dream.

Playing in Dream’s 1,340-passenger Walt Disney Theatre, the hour-long production is about half the length of the movie but manages to squeeze in all of its iconic songs including Belle, Gaston and Be Our Guest — the latter transformed with visual effects.

The cruise ship version of Beauty and the Beast also incorporates high-definition projections splashed across a music box-like space to create elaborate, panoramic scenes designed to be visible in even the most remote corners of the theater.

Released in theaters in March and starring Emma Watson, Beauty and the Beast was the highest-grossing live-action musical film of all time. It had worldwide revenues of more than $1.2 billion. The movie was based on Disney’s 1991 animated film of the same name, which in turn spawned a Broadway musical that ran between 1994 and 2007.

The media received a sneak peek at the cruise ship version of the show in July at Disney Cruise Line’s rehearsal studios in Toronto. One twist that was on display was the use of puppetry for such iconic Beauty and the Beast characters as the candelabra/maitre d’ Lumiere and teapot/housekeeper Mrs. Potts. Expressive and elaborate, the puppets are made to be operated by actors who are visible to the audience — an artifice also used in the adaptation of the Disney blockbuster Frozen that debuted on the cruise ship Disney Wonder in 2016.
