The ship was constructed in two pieces, with the bow built at Fincantieri’s Ancona shipyard and the stern assembled at their Marghera shipyard The Magic was built by Fincantieri Marghera Shipyards in Italy. Notice how the ship was not quite finished – its funnels were still in need of work. That’s the Magic, top photo, heading off on that inaugural voyage. On July 30, 1998, the Disney Magic set sail on its maiden voyage from Port Canaveral, Fla., to the Bahamas, with stops at Nassau and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. On July 30, the Disney Cruise Line will mark its 25 th year of operation. There’s one special occasion coming up this year that hasn’t gotten much attention … at least not yet. Ever since Disney Legend Jack Lindquist came up with the idea of celebrating Disneyland’s 10 th anniversary in 1965 – he called it Tencennial – the Walt Disney Company has made it a habit of going all-out whenever a special birthday and anniversary rolls around. The Disney Magic, top photo, and the Disney Wonder are shown during their maiden voyages in 19, respectively. In general, most of these photos have a “celebration” theme … birthdays, anniversaries, maiden voyages and just good times in general.ĭISNEY CRUISE LINE SET TO MARK 25 YEARS OF OPERATION ![]() ![]() Most originated from Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. ![]() It’s a new year, which means the Disney press and publicity photos in my personal collection have gotten … well … a year older and are even more vintage!įor our first installment of Disney Vintage Photos for 2023, we present photos depicting scenes on land, sea and air.
