Identical or Fraternal????

[yodasdabomb]

This may be a dumb question but.....
How does everyone tell the Magic and the Wonder apart in photos or on the web cams, to me they seem identical, though I have never looked closely. Are they identical or are they more Fraternal ?? Haha? How do you tell them apart?

Fraternal.

The ships actually have a lot of differences between them.

Here is a great site that I discovered that has a side-by-side comparison of the Magic and Wonder:

<a href="http://www.themeparks.com/cruise/wonder04.htm">Disney Magic / Disney Wonder Side-By-Side Comparison</a>

Although the site only lists differences found on the interiors of the ships, there are some exterior differences as well.

The only way I know the difference between the Magic and Wonder is by the day of the week I see them on the webcams.

I understand the differences on the inside, but distinguishes(sp?) each ship on the outside? Is there a way to tell them apart at first glance?

Here's a hint for one of the external differences - look at the stern (back) of each ship.

That is it ?? Just Goofy hanging off the back?

 

[tstobb]

Goofy is only on the Magic - Huey, Dewey & Louie are on the Wonder.

Also:

The name of each ship is on the side, towards the front.

The cutouts towards the stern are round on the Magic, oval on the Wonder.

There is one more way - look at the Mickey on the front.

On the Wonder it is Steamboat Willie, on the Magic it is Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey.
