Disney Cruise Line has added yet another magical offering with all-new Magic Shots, a photo experience where Disney Cruise Line photographers capture your family’s vacation memories with some of your favorite Disney Characters in their sailor attire! Featured characters include Tinker Bell, Captain Mickey, Captain Minnie, Sailor Pluto, Chip & Dale, Sailor Goofy, Cruise Director Daisy, Sailor Donald, and you can even make your Castaway Cay pictures more magical with Magic Shots of Sebastian, Hei Hei and Flounder. Guests both onboard and on land can even get a sprinkle of pixie dust in the form of Mickey clouds added to your vacation photos.
Disney Cruise Line photographers will be shooting Magic Shots at various locations throughout the ship and on Castaway Cay for our Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries. While there are no scheduled times and locations for Magic Shots, just ask our friendly photographers about adding in the feature during each encounter throughout your cruise.
