Walt Disney World and Magic Kingdom Unveil New Dessert Cruise!

We love dessert, and we love all types of transportation at Disney's Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.  So imagine our delight in hearing about this new fireworks dessert cruise at the Magic Kingdom.

This article was just posted on-line by the Disney Parks Blog.  Here is a brief excerpt:

Cast your sights on the new Ferrytale Wishes: A Fireworks Dessert Cruise—the perfect way to take in a breathtaking view of the Magic Kingdom Park night time spectacular fireworks from an exclusive spot on Seven Seas Lagoon with dazzling desserts and drinks.

Imagine sailing off from the Ticket & Transportation Ferryboat Dock promptly one hour prior to “Wishes” Nighttime Spectacular, offered select nights weekly, on the iconic, double-stack ferryboat. Set a course for decks laden with delectable sweets such as “The Grand” key lime tart; pineapple upside down cake from the chefs at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort; spiced flourless chocolate cake from the pastry kitchen at Disney’s Contemporary Resort; “Main Street” Mickey Balloon Tarts; mini “fireworks” cupcakes with a pop; Cinderella’s Sugar Slipper with Orange Financier; no-sugar-added Florida mango panna cotta; and a fabulous fruit and cheese spread. Toast the evening with specialty alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in souvenir glow glasses. 

This special hard-ticketed event will have limited seating, and prices are $69 and $99.  You may call 407-WDW-DINE or visit DisneyWorld.com/DINE for reservations.

Dedicating the Annette Funicello Stage

From The Disney Insider blog,

"In the 1950s, Stage 1 on the Walt Disney Studios Lot was the home of The Mickey Mouse Club and its Mouseketeers.  On June 24, 2013, that stage was officially renamed the Annette Funicello Stage, after the Disney Legend and former Mouseketeer who passed away earlier this year.  “From this day forward, her place in our hearts and our history will be marked forever right here on this stage where it all began, when she put on those famous ears and became a Mouseketeer,” said Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger as he stood right outside of the Stage."
