Disney Cruise Line announced the full spate of live shows planned for the Disney Fantasy when it debuts in 2012.
New to the lineup is a show titled "Wishes," which will join "Disney Aladdin -- A Musical Spectacular" as signature shows only aboard the Fantasy.
Also playing on the Fantasy will be "Disney's Believe" which also plays on sister ship the Disney Dream as well as a new welcome and farewell show.
All five shows will be performed in the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre, which spans three decks with orchestra and balcony seating.
Details of "Wishes" were revealed today. It's a 45-minute show described as "a musical journey about three best friends who discover the secret to being a grown-up is staying connected to their inner child."
The storyline features three high school grads who visit Disneyland, make a wish to go on the "Ride of Our Lives," the show's original opening song. The wish then takes them on a journey with songs from 12 Disney characters from the films "Tangled," "Lio & Stitch," "Mulan," "Hercules," "Pinocchio," "The Little Mermaid," "The Jungle Book" and "The Lion King."
The show concludes with the song "Breakthrough" from Disney Channel movie "Lemonade Mouth" and an indoor-fireworks finale.
Also unique to the ship will be the previously-announced "Disney Aladdin -- A Musical Spectacular." This Broadway-style production features Genie and the characters from the animated film. The storyline has Aladdin meeting the Genie, getting his three wishes, tussling with Jafar and falling for Princess Jasmine. Many of the songs from the film will be in the 45-minute production as well as an original song, "To Be Free," written by Alan Menken, who created the original film's soundtrack.
The show "Disney's Believe" tells the story of a father married to his work who reconnects with his daughter while learning what's important in life. The storyline follows Dr. Cornelius Greenaway, a botanist with a plant obsession who misses daughter Sophia's birthday. Sophia makes a birthday wish, granted by Aladdin's Genie who takes the good doctor into the world of Disney stories featuring more than 20 Disney characters including Cinderella, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Belle, Rafiki and Princess Tiana.
The ship will also put on a welcome show titled "A Fantasy Come True" and closing show titled "An Unforgettable Journey."
The five shows complement a series of upper-deck performances with Mickey and the gang as well as Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean." And of course, Disney being Disney, there's the signature Fireworks at Sea. The Fantasy's offering is titled "Buccaneer Blast," choreographed to songs from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films.
The Disney Fantasy, currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany is set for its debut voyage on March 31, 2011. The Fantasy will sail out of Port Canaveral, offering alternating seven-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean with stops at Castaway Cay, the line's private island in the Bahamas. The 4,000-passenger ship is a sister to the Dream, also based at Port Canaveral, that debuted in January 2010 and will up the Disney Cruise Line fleet to four, with the line's two original vessels, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder.
The Wonder is currently based on the Pacific Coast and the Magic will continue to sail out of Port Canavearl until Fantasy's arrival, when it will migrate to New York.
