    Hello, will the new movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” be shown on the cruises specifically on the Disney Magic in late August?

    Ahoy there, Donna! 

    Welcome aboard planDisney! With your sailing just two weeks away, I completely understand wanting to know whether Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be waiting for you aboard the Disney Magic. That could make the decision to see it in a theater now or save it for your cruise a little easier!

    Unfortunately, the news is not quite what we were hoping for. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is not scheduled or currently anticipated to be shown during your sailing. I was a little too optimistic before the movie premiered that we might see Spidey swing into the Buena Vista Theatre, but the stars did not quite align this time. While the Disney Adventure has been able to show the movie, that appears to be tied to a special arrangement involving its Singapore sailings and other distribution considerations.

    So, if seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day is high on your list, I would plan to see it in a theater rather than waiting for it to make an appearance on the Disney Magic. I know that may not be the answer you were hoping for, especially when watching a brand-new Marvel movie at sea sounds like a pretty heroic way to spend a day at sea!

    The good news is that your Alaska sailing has plenty of its own adventures waiting for you. The current plan includes a formal night on Day 2 while you're at sea, A Frozen Fjord Celebration with Anna and Elsa on Day 3 as you explore the Stikine Icecap, and a semi-formal night on Day 5 at Icy Strait Point. Once you're onboard, keep an eye on your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for the final entertainment schedule and any changes to the movie lineup.

    I spent three years living in Alaska, and although I haven't experienced Alaska from the deck of the Disney Magic, I can tell you that the scenery in this part of the world has a way of making its own grand entrance. There is something pretty special about stepping outside and realizing that the view in front of you looks like it belongs in a Disney movie.  

    I hope this helps you decide whether to catch Peter Parker on the big screen before sailing and lets you start getting excited about all the Alaska adventures waiting aboard the Magic. Your cruise may be missing one friendly neighborhood superhero, but the scenery is bringing some serious superpowers of its own.

    Sea ya real soon as we ride the wave of summer’s final stretch in Disney style,
