Disney Opens New Unique Experience Outside Orlando

Disney has built several attractions and experiences throughout America (and the world).

Disney Experiences

Everyone knows about Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Among these are some of the world’s most popular theme parks (Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disneyland Park, and Disney California Adventure Park).

There is also the Aulani Resort and Disney’s Hilton Head Resort. But perhaps one of the biggest growing sectors of The Walt Disney Company is the Disney Cruise Line.

Disney Cruise

A Disney cruise is truly a magical experience. There are multiple character meet-and-greets, themed entertainment, first-class restaurants, and nonstop fun aboard its many pools, bars, and clubs. There is also unique experiences such as its private island, Castaway Cay.

However, one of the drawbacks that can be experienced when embarking on a Disney cruise is Disney having to share port terminals with other cruise lines. Although many cruise terminals can be clean and efficient, they differ from the magic found at a typical Disney property.

But Disney has solved that problem in Fort Lauderdale.

New Disney Cruise Terminal

Disney Cruise Line has just opened its new cruise terminal, cementing the House of Mouse in another area of Florida.

This port marks the second year-round Disney cruise port in Florida. The new port will be home to the Disney Dream, which had its first sail out of the new terminal yesterday (November 20). And starting next year, the Disney Magic will be the primary ship using the new terminal.

As guests enter the new cruise terminal, they’ll dive into the world of Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Decorated with colorful murals, the terminal displays fish, rays, coral, and friends from the popular movie.

Nemo, Marlin, and Dory’ll welcome you while bubble-like ceiling fixtures make you feel part of the underwater world.

The new port will also allow Disney Fanatics and casual Disney guests to have more opportunities to visit Disney’s Castaway Cay as well as the new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

The new Lighthouse Point will offer an expansive family beach near market-style dining and recreation. The unique destination will also feature Bahamian art and culture.

The Walt Disney Company operates these two extraordinary locations, bringing a unique experience exclusive to Disney cruise guests.

A trip aboard the Disney cruise line can be a great family vacation. It is one of the few companies that tries to cater to families and young children. The food is often excellent, the shows are spectacular, and the service is usually superior to others in the industry.
