Disney Cruise Lines – Worldwide – 2010
Disney’s two cruise ships — the Disney Fantasy and the Disney Dream – feature multiple guest experiences including the Thea Award-winning “Animator’s Palate” restaurant (where guest animations come to life on projected walls and the entire space transforms from black and white to color). The restaurant, the collection of Europa nightclubs, and a family-focused interactive water playground were produced under the oversight of Joe Lanzisero during his time at Imagineering.
The new AquaLab water playground on the Disney Magic is a fun and fanciful area for families to frolic among pop jets, geysers and bubblers. Interactive games keep kids moving, while the Twist ‘n’ Spout water slide gets them delightfully drenched. One of the most popular restaurants on the Disney ships, Animator’s Palate on the Disney Magic is updated with all-new, animation-adorned walls and larger high-definition flat-screens to provide the best views of the animation magic that takes place all around. At Animator’s Palate, the room comes to life as guests are immersed in the wonder of Disney animation during magical interactive dinner shows.

The Disney Dream offers modern features, new innovations and unmistakable Disney touches. (David Roark, photographer)
