Disney Cruise Line Introducing New Experiences for Disney Magic in 2018

[Stu]

Exciting new spaces and new experiences designed for guests of all ages are coming to the Disney Magic in March 2018.

At Rapunzel's Royal Table, families will delight in an all-new dining experience inspired by the beloved story of Disney's "Tangled." The first table service restaurant themed to "Tangled" that features characters and live entertainment will transport Disney Magic guests to the kingdom of Corona for an evening of music and interactive fun featuring Rapunzel and the mischievous Snuggly Duckling Thugs.

Guests will step inside a regal ballroom in the royal castle, lit by glowing wish lanterns and adorned with colorful drawings that reflect Rapunzel's artistic talents. Here, the King and Queen of Corona invite everyone to take part in a festive celebration of Rapunzel's birthday and the anniversary of her return to the kingdom.

Throughout dinner, guests of all ages will be treated to live entertainment, including spirited singing and dancing led by the maître d', a merry band of musicians, the mischievous Snuggly Duckling Thugs and of course, Princess Rapunzel herself.

The family fun is complete with themed menus, special activities and a lively parade to cap off the evening in Corona. The charm and enchantment of "Tangled" in Rapunzel's Royal Table is the perfect pairing to "Tangled: The Musical" – the spellbinding original production that delights guests during each Disney Magic sailing.

Redesigned Retreat Just for Teens

Vibe, the space on the ship reserved for teens ages 14-17, is being transformed into a trendy urban loft environment. At Vibe, teens can enjoy a new coffee and smoothie bar, play video and virtual reality games, and check out other cool activities like a DJ spin-off and movie making. Activities at Vibe are organized and hosted by trained Disney counselors who facilitate the fun and interaction among teen guests.

Refined Escape Exclusively for Adults

Adults can relax at Cove Café, an adult-exclusive retreat that will be redesigned in a sophisticated tropical style. It's the perfect place to sip a specialty coffee or tea throughout the day, or indulge in wine or a cocktail and light bites during the evening hours.

In this serene setting by the Quiet Cove Pool, adult beverage tastings are also available at select times for an additional fee. Just steps away, the adjacent Signals Bar will also be transformed with a similar look.

Elsewhere around the Disney Magic, other enhancement highlights include the addition of Club Disney Junior in Disney's Oceaneer Club for children and a redesigned Rainforest Room with steam and hydrotherapy in Senses Spa for adults.

The new enhancements debut on Disney Magic starting March 9, 2018, on sailings from Miami, Fla. The four- and five-night Disney Magic sailings from Miami visit Key West, Fla.; Nassau, Bahamas and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. Beginning on May 14, 2018, the Disney Magic repositions to Europe for the summer season.

These additions are part of an overall commitment by Disney Cruise Line to invest in their ships, helping to deliver incredible family vacation experiences for years to come. While making these enhancements to the Disney Magic, crews perform regularly scheduled and wide-ranging maintenance to keep the fleet in tip-top shape, further demonstrating the unwavering commitment by Disney Cruise Line to continually elevate the guest experience.

Mmmmm. Is the regal ball room a make over of the Animator's Palette?

Love Cove Cafe - a peaceful haven where you can really unwind.

I thought Lumier’s. It has a feel of a ballroom already.

The Rapunzel thing sounds amazing. The new show is fab, and we loved it when they turned O’Gill’s into the Snuggly Duckling, complete with Thugs and the Stabbington Brothers menacing guests (kept in check by the wonderful Tisa).

I can’t see Animator’s Palate being changed to this, and if it was Carioca’s, that would make two ‘princess themed’ restaurants, which might put some people off. So I suspct it is Lumiere’s, which is a pity as BATB is surely more well known and beloved than Tangled, and Lumiere’s has a more adult atmosphere which would be lost.

Oh wow I love Rapunzel! Hope this is on the transatlantic next year, my dd will be over the moon

Apparently it's Carioca's. Which makes sense I guess - how many people know Jose Carioca? Although I liked the theming, it was perhaps a bit vague for many. It was probably my least favourite of the three, though still good.

I guess if you have the Thugs running round it won't be too 'princessy' overall.
