From orlandosentinel.com:
The Disney Magic cruise ship will get a splash pool themed around the movie “Fantasia,” new 22-inch, LCD television sets in cabins and a series of other upgrades during a nearly three-week stay in dry dock later this month.
Disney says the 385-square-foot “Mickey’s Splash Zone” will be added onto the Mickey Pool on the ship’s deck nine. Themed around the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment in Fantasia, it will feature star- and moon-shaped fountains and splash areas (including, Disney says, an area for “children not yet toilet trained and in swim diapers”).
The new televisions, meanwhile, will be mounted on swivel arms so they can be watched from different spots in a stateroom.
Other upgrades to the 2,700-passenger Magic, according to a release Disney issued earlier this week, will include new waterfalls from a pair of hot tubs in the pool at the adult-oriented “Quiet Cove;” plush new chairs at the nearby “Cove Cafe;” and new registration areas to allow “radio frequency identification” at the kid-focused “Oceaneer Club” and “Oceaneer Lab” that will ultimately allow children to check in and out by tapping a sensor with with tag-embedded wristbands.
Disney also plans to apply a new hull coating during the dry dock in Norfolk, Va., that is designed to reduce surface resistance in the water and improve fuel efficiency.
