Itinerary Changes for Mexican Riviera Cruises

Disney Cruise Line® is continuing its modifying of their 7-night Mexican Riviera itineraries by replacing calls to Mazatlán with an additional stop in Cabo San Lucas. At this time, it appears that this change will affect all of the remaining Mexican Riviera sailings for 2012.

As you know, the safety of the guests and crew is very important to Disney Cruise Line®. This decision was made, in part, due to the changing environment in Mazatlán and the surrounding area. A similar decision was made for Mexican Riviera sailings in 2011.

Disney Cruise Line® continually evaluates its itineraries and believes this revised itinerary with two calls in the popular port of Cabo San Lucas will provide the best overall vacation experience for you.

Behind-the-Scenes at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

Construction crews and Imagineers are working hard to meet the May 31st, 2012 opening date for “Finding Nemo” wing of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. Take a behind the scenes look at the current progress.

httpvh://youtu.be/gK1TThC0vEY

Located near Disney’s Pop Century Resort, the new resort will offer 1,120 family suites (including a bedroom and living room) themed after “The Lion King,” “Cars” and “Finding Nemo” animated films.  The design of the family suites comfortably accommodate up to six guests.  Each suite includes two separate bathrooms, a master bedroom, and three separate sleeping areas within the living space.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort will also host 864 standard guest rooms inspired by “The Little Mermaid.” The current opening timetable for the other phases of the resort is the “Cars” wing in late July, and “The Lion King” wing in late September. The final wing, themed after “The Little Mermaid,” is scheduled to debut in December 2012.
