Disney offers its own stimulus to shake the travel world by offering great deals and specials.  First deal is that kids age 12 and under can get a 50% discount off of cruise fares as quoted on the Disney Cruise website.  The children need to travel with two full fare Guests and stay in the same stateroom.  This offer is good for three, four, and seven night cruises.  It is also good for most dates from April 11, 2009 through May 17, 2009.

Another great deal is that if you book through the Disney Cruise website, you receive a $25 shipboard credit.

But wait, there’s more.  This promotion is similar to what the local residents near the California Park gets.  California residents often get great discounts to admission to Disneyland.  Now, the cruise line is offering a similar deal.  If you are a Florida resident, you may take a Disney Bahamian or Caribbean cruise at a discount.

Last but not least - book your vacation and pay less up front.  Pay only 50% of the usual deposit and reserve your spot on the magical Disney Cruise vacation.

As always, great deals don’t last long.  Many if not all are for a limited time only.  So stop dreaming and start cruising!

Disney Magic offers an experience for both the adults and children.  It is a 2,700 passenger ship decorated in art deco.  Cruises are weeklong and alternates between Eastern and Western Caribbean routes.  A special stop includes Disney’s private island called Castaway Cay.

There are offerings for travelers of all ages.  Young children enjoy games and stories.  Older kids play computers and can hang out at their own clubs.  The adults have their own areas including their own nightclubs and nightlife activities.

However, there is one place that is suited for everyone and is definitely a favorite.  It is restaurant called Animator’s Palate.  The interior of the restaurant is black and white.  But as the night and the meals progress, the guests are presented with a “show” in which the room and the cast members gradually change into full color.
