Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator documents the first day of a five night cruise aboard the Disney Magic, beginning with a drive to the Port of Miami. The vlog details the embarkation process, noting that while the terminal area can be chaotic and difficult for parking and luggage drop off, the actual check in and COVID testing process inside the terminal is smooth. After boarding, the creator explores the ship, noting that the Disney Magic is smaller than the Disney Dream and shows some signs of age in the staterooms. The video covers a lunch at Rapunzel's Royal Table, a tour of the onboard gift shops, and a review of the stateroom amenities and balcony views. The evening includes a sailaway party on the top deck, a dinner featuring a variety of dishes, and a production of the Tangled musical in the Walt Disney Theater. The day concludes with a surprise appearance by Sully the dog in the atrium and a visit to Pinocchio's Pizzeria for late night snacks.
