SECOND YEAR-ROUND DISNEY CRUISE HOMEPORT IN FLORIDA


Disney Cruise Line is in the midst of its largest expansion ever and opening their second, year-round home port is an important milestone. The Disney Dream will begin sailing from Fort Lauderdale today, followed by the Disney Magic on May 9, 2024, offering guests the opportunity to sail on a mix of three-, four- and five-night cruises to tropical destinations in The Bahamas and the Caribbean.

AN EMBARKATION EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE BIG BLUE WORLD


As guests enter the terminal, they’ll travel from land to sea and “dive” into the world of the Disney and Pixar’s film, “Finding Nemo.” There, they’ll find some of their favorite friends from the movie on colorful murals, including fish, rays and beautiful coral. Guests will “swim” by Nemo’s school friends, including Tad, Sheldon and Pearl, and as they inch closer to embarkation, they’ll be welcomed by Nemo, Marlin and Dory.
