Information
Background
Entering service in 1998 and 1999 respectively, the Magic and Wonder are the two oldest and smallest ships in the fleet. Both have recently undergone major upgrades and refurbishments. In July 30, 1998, the Disney Magic made her maiden voyage as the
first Disney Cruise Line ship. Since then the Magic has been extensively renovated – or reimagined – in October of 2013. Even though this is the oldest ship in their fleet,
you would never know. Disney is constantly cleaning, maintaining and repainting
to keeps things looking brand new and in top condition. Disney Magic weighs
over 84,000 tons and it is 984 feet in length. The ship is the same size as the
Disney Wonder, which was introduced to the Disney Cruise Line fleet at the
same time as the Magic.
