Classic
Design
At first
glance, the ship's twin funnels and streamlined sculptural
form reminds one of the legendary Queen Mary, and other great
liners of the 1930s and 1940s. But in contrast, both the Disney
Magic® and the Disney Wonder® bold
colors, nautically inspired ornamentation and whimsical touches
are contemporary, while also being distinctly Disney. Their
exterior color scheme features a dark hull, bold red funnels,
yellow striping and nautically inspired ornamentation. It is
no accident that these colors are also the colors of Disney's
most famous character, Mickey Mouse.
In fact, the lifeboats are yellow instead of the typical orange
in order to tie in the colors on his big yellow shoes.
Interior
spaces were created through the efforts of dozens of different
design experts from all over the world, under the direction
of Walt Disney Imagineering.
Entering
the ships' three-story atrium lobby, there is an ambiance of "comfortable
elegance," also reminiscent of the Transatlantic ocean
liners of the early 20th-century. The opulent lobby on the Disney
Magic® is rich in color and boasts grand
stairways. In contrast, interior finishes and furnishings reflect
a modern influence that marries an Art Deco style, popular
in the late 1920s and 1930s, with classical Disney whimsy.
The Disney Wonder® features softer
colors in the main atrium and has more of an Art Nouveau style.
Both the Disney
Magic® and Disney Wonder® boast
875 spacious staterooms that
were designed to offer maximum storage and useable space.
They can comfortably accommodate at least three people,
while family staterooms can hold up to five. Almost 75
percent of these are outside staterooms, and 44 percent
of these also have private verandahs. All deluxe inside,
oceanview and verandah staterooms feature a bath and a
half, making it especially convenient for families. Both
ships also feature 18 one or two-bedroom suites and two
royal suites. These sell out quickly, so you must plan
ahead for these.
