Ahoy, Sharon!
So glad to hear that you and your family loved cruising onboard the Disney Fantasy -- I now have the honor of welcoming you into the repeat Disney Cruiser family :-). Cruising with Disney honestly doesn't get old... in fact, it seems like every cruise keeps getting better and better. New itineraries keep getting added every season, and with that - more special themes are added as well. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed cruising on the Disney Magic to the Mediterranean!
My family and I had a spectacular time cruising the Mediterranean -- there is just so much to see and do in culture-rich Europe! The Disney Magic is the latest ship to be re-imagineered. It is also a smaller ship - so it is much quicker to get from one end to the other. Having your parents with you this time, it may matter to them since they won't have to walk too far to get from the stateroom to anywhere else on the ship. You and your kids will surely notice how quicker you can go about the ship compared to being on the Fantasy.
I feel so fortunate that my kids were able to experience Europe with Disney Cruise Line. I have no doubt that your kids will enjoy this adventure as well. They'll get to learn about the different ports of call and you can even experience special Port Adventures that are very family friendly. Disney Cruise Line even brings the special European flavors onboard -- the region's specialties are offered onboard and they are absolutely delicious!
If you have additional questions, please feel free to log in other questions. We're always happy to help. Check it out, Sharon - there's lots of
magical memories waiting to be made!
Have a great day!
