Are you ready to meet your destiny?   The Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams are hard at work with the crew at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany to bring Disney Cruise Line’s heroes and villains-themed ship, the Disney Destiny, to life – and it may be further along than you think!  Here on the Disney Destiny ship’s log, you can get an exclusive look at the shipbuilding process, along with behind-the-scenes looks at some of the exciting Disney stories coming to life inside. Be sure to bookmark this page for regular updates all the way through the ship’s maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.  Five, six, seven, eight: “Bless my soul, Herc is on a roll!”  That’s right, “Disney Hercules,” the brand-new, Broadway-style Disney Cruise Line stage show, is indeed on a roll, preparing to raise the curtain exclusively onboard the Disney Destiny. But before the ship launches this November, the cast are hard at work at Disney Cruise Line’s Toronto-based entertainment rehearsal facility, where every show – from a deck party to a Broadway-style musical spectacular – comes to life before being performed on any ship in Disney Cruise Line’s growing fleet.  While in Toronto, the Disney Destiny entertainment team is preparing for three shows in The Walt Disney Theatre: “Disney Seas the Adventure,” “Frozen: A Musical Spectacular” and “Disney Hercules.”  Today, we’re unveiling an exclusive,

It’s never too soon to introduce kids to the magic of nature and encourage actions that make a positive difference for our planet – whether big or small. And at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, young changemakers did just that by joining Disney Conservation cast members along with hundreds of guests at the Atlantic shoreline during the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s 18th annual Tour de Turtles event.   What is the Tour de Turtles?   Tour de Turtles at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort brings together researchers from the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) and Disney Conservation to track two female turtles as they make their way from the Disney Vacation Club resort back to the big ol’ blue after laying their eggs overnight.   And this year’s sea turtles were named after the beloved Disney Princesses who love the ocean and its creatures – Ariel and Moana!  Sponsored by Disney Cruise Line and the Disney Conservation Fund, Ariel – a green sea turtle – and Moana – a loggerhead sea turtle – are joining other sea turtles to see which will swim the furthest distance during a three-month span and win the Tour de Turtles race. The turtles are equipped with satellite trackers that will allow biologists to monitor them – this will provide valuable insights into their migration patterns so we can learn how to best protect this endangered species from habitat loss, pollution and other threats.
