Tour of the Disney Magic

Take a 90-second look at Disney Magic's features and amenities. (And no, those aren't slot machines the kids are playing at the 40-second mark.)

Entertainment & activities

The family-friendly Disney experience awaits guests on board the Disney Magic. Cruise passengers can expect some of the same characters and fun programs offered at the amusement parks that make the Disney brand famous. While there are several children's activities, there are also options for teens and adults to experience the magic on board as well. 

Youth Clubs

Disney Cruise Line understands kids, and there are youth counselors and crew standing by to make sure that young cruisers have fun while staying safe on the ship. The cruise line provides a vast array of clubs, lounges and interactive programs aboard the Disney Magic that you won't find anywhere else. They are specifically designed to make sure your child is enjoying every moment of your cruise vacation.

The kids clubs are open daily and there are age-appropriate activity centers for infants, toddlers, children, tweens and teens.

• Flounder's Reef Nursery is a nursery for young children ages three months to three years.

Activities

Fancy a dip in the pool or the chance to enjoy a thrilling water coaster ride?

You will  find three sparkling pools — one for kids, one for families and one just for adults. And for the kid in all of us, try the new AquaDunk, which is a three-story water slide that sends riders downward when the floor disappears from underneath.

To sweat or not to sweat? There is the option of expending calories at the fitness center and recreational sports courts. But for those less inclined, maybe a treatment at the spa is more your style.
