Things no longer seen on DCL

[geoffrey]

Was there a time when there was a live band playing during the sail away party? Or am I just imagining that?

If it wasn't for Helmsman Mickey in the foyer, you wouldn't even know that was the Magic. "Re-imagined" indeed!

They did at least until 2006, this is a picture at the end of the sailaway party.

This is one from 2002 when they called it the main event.

Anyone have a picture of the ice carving they used to do on the pool deck? That was fun to watch, just never took a picture.

I didn't see anyone mention this. Sorry I don't have any pictures. Chocolate chip cookie dough soft serve at Castaway Cay. I almost cried when I heard they took it away.

Magic

On the first several cruises of the Magic they had the mini bars filled with candy bars and cans of sods with a KTTW swipe to pay for them. Apparently too many kids were racking up huge mini bar bills and they eventually took out all the goodies.

I never knew that they started out with mini-bars on the Magic! I can just see that being a disaster with kids in the room LOL

the live band would be great!

Yes, as is the 2nd stairway in the atrium. Reminds me of the re-imagineered lobby at the Polynesian Resort. It seems like change-for-change-sake.

I knew they took the second stairway out, but never imagined they would remove that amazing piece of work! What's hanging there now?

Geez, and apparently Rockin Bar D and the Mickey hand is gone too? Boy, it's been a long time since I've been on the Magic for sure!

A much less interesting chandelier. I think we might have a picture of it but I'm at work right now.

I miss the Flying Dutchman on Castaway Cay! it just made the island so unique!

They still do this...at least they did on the Panama Canal cruise and the Transatlantic cruise last year.



This pic was from 2002.
