Disney Magic Photos

September 4, 2015 | blogging, Disney, Travel

I have really been missing cruising lately, and as I was going through some photos on my computer earlier this week, I came across these from when I sailed on the Disney Magic right after it was refurbished a couple of years ago. Disney went to great lengths to update this ship, and while it is still lacking in some areas, it looks much better than it did before.

One thing I love about the Magic is how cozy it feels. Bigger isn’t always better!

Now that I have a little one, I have been paying more attention to photos of kid areas.

Yes, I went down the slinky dog slide!

Superhero fun anyone?

I did NOT go on the new waterslide!

Disney made the rooms all look like the staterooms on the Dream and the Fantasy.

Something a lot of people didn’t notice was that Disney added shaded areas over some of the pool chairs. Definitely needed!

Also don’t forget there is an all new restaurant that took the place of Parrot Cay.

    I’ve been on the Dream twice (last time was concierge) and the Wonder once. I really liked the Wonder for the size and “coziness”, but the Dream concierge level is unreal. If they upgrade the Wonder to have a concierge lounge and other amenities like the Dream, I would definitely consider another cruise. I would love to do a 7-night on the Fantasy but they are pricing the average family out.

    I just registered for the Castaway Cay Challenge after the WDW Marathon weekend next January. I’ve been on two cruises before, both with Norwegian Cruise Lines, but I’ve never been on a Disney cruise and my husband has never been on any cruise. I loved seeing these pictures of the Magic. It looks like such a beautiful ship, I hope the Dream will be as nice!

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
