Disney Magic is inspired by “Encanto” and “Soul” that have come to life on the high seas with the new remodeling that will delight families during their stay on board.

From the magical mountains of Colombia to the bustling streets of New York City, the colorful worlds of two fan-favorite Disney films – Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” and Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” – have come to life for the first time on the high seas with the debut of new family experiences aboard the Disney Magic. In addition to “Encanto”-themed entertainment and a “Soul”-inspired lounge, the ship’s guest rooms were enhanced with new theming and spacious remodels.
Guests can join the fantastic Madrigal family during an all-new immersive experience, “A Celebration of Encanto,” designed to engage families through music, crafts and storytelling. The interactive experience gives guests the opportunity to meet and take photos with Mirabel and the family member we don’t talk about, Bruno, during his Disney Cruise Line debut. Families can also join in an energetic sing-along of beloved “Encanto” songs and create butterfly and flower crafts inspired by the film.
The heartwarming story of “Soul” was the inspiration for the new Soul Cat Lounge designed to resemble Joe Gardner’s favorite music venue from the film, the Half Note Lounge. The space, located on deck three near Rapunzel’s Royal Table restaurant, instantly transports guests to a classic New York jazz club.
Adults can enhance their big city experience with Manhattan and martinis tableside or choose from a selection of native beers and cocktails made with New York spirits. A fun collection of non-alcoholic cocktails, specialty coffees and soft drinks are also on the menu.
For guests seeking the utmost in comfort and service at sea, the concierge spaces aboard the Disney Magic have been elevated and enhanced. The concierge lounge was redesigned and expanded to feature a sophisticated new theme and tropical color palette inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios‘ “Moana” and an additional covered outdoor seating area on Deck 10 where guests can relax with a refreshing drink while enjoying the sea breeze.
All concierge suites, including one- and two-bedroom accommodations, along with the two exclusive royal suites, have been completely renovated with new fixtures, furnishings and elegant artwork, further elevating the premium experience for concierge guests.
The Disney Magic is currently sailing on the first of three itineraries from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Beginning May 24, the ship will return to Miami for a summer of cruises to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, including a “Silver Anniversary at Sea” celebration in honor of Disney Cruise Line’s 25th anniversary. This fall, the Disney Magic will head west for its inaugural season sailing from San Diego.
