    To the familiar strains of When You Wish Upon a Star blaring from its horn, Disney Cruise Line's first ship, Disney Magic, began sailing in July from Port Canaveral, Florida. Disney Cruise Line offers three- or four-day stays at Walt Disney World, followed by three- or four-day cruises that include a day in Nassau and another at a Disney vacation exclusive destination — Castaway Cay.

Disney Magic offers Broadway-style productions, an adult nightclub district, a full-screen cinema, four themed restaurants, a spa and salon, three swimming pools and a deck with activities for children… all on a ship that evokes the days when classic liners cruised the seas.

Castaway Cay, Disney's own island, is 1,000 acres of Bahamian white sand and blue water. Among its unique features is an underwater exploration trail that awaits snorkelers in a protected inlet.

Disney Magic's sister ship, Disney Wonder, will be launched later in 1999.

    The new Tomorrowland, which opened in 1998, draws on images from such futuristic dreamers as H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Leonardo da Vinci, George Lucas and Walt Disney himself. Its centerpiece is the Astro Orbiter, a kinetic sculpture that stands amid a fleet of guest-piloted spaceships.

Rocket Rods offers the fastest ride with the longest track at Disneyland. The combination rocket and hot rod speeds guests on a fantasy elevated transit system of the future — with nothing but space on either side!

Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, the popular interactive 3-D film from Epcot, also joined the Tomorrowland family, as did Innoventions, a two-level pavilion in which guests can see, hear and touch interactive products and technology of the future. Long-time favorites Star Tours and Space Mountain round out the Tomorrowland attractions.
