The guests’ names are shown in the credits and you will receive your drawings back with a special animator’s stamp added.

The 1,800-square-foot AquaLab water play area on Deck 12 is filled with water pop jets, geysers, and bubblers, perfect to keep the whole family cool. Just as Disney does with all their attractions, there is a story as to how the AquaLab came to be. Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Donald Duck’s nephews, created the AquaLab, but it’s up to young cruisers to operate the AquaLab to keep theAquaDuck up and running for the other guests!At three different stations, there are wheels to turn and levers to pull, “controlling” the speed and temperature of the AquaDuck water coaster. One leaky wall invites kids to cover squirting holes and pipes, soaking themselves in the process. The Ducky Dinghy leaks water from overhead.


Disney Fantasy Cruise Ship - Disney Cruise Line Information (13)

AquaLab isn’t the only new water feature to be found on Disney Fantasy. On Deck 12 Forward, a canopy shades a fountain surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing near the water. Satellite Falls, an adults-only area on Deck 13 Forward, includes a circular splash pool with benches and a cascading rain curtain.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Themed “dress-up nights” have always been popular on Disney cruise ships, so Disney Cruise Line is making things a little easier for guests on the Fantasy.

Exclusive Disney Cruise Line packages are available, allowing guests to transform into Captain Mickey Mouse, Princess Minnie Mouse, and First Mate Minnie Mouse.
