Disney Cruise Line Offers West Coast Cruises



DISNEY CRUISE LINE
ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER
WEST COAST CRUISES Disneyland
Celebrates
50 Years of Magic!

In Celebration
of the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland

ANAHEIM,
Calif., May 5, 2004 – For the first time, Disney Cruise Line is catching
the wave to southern California, repositioning its flagship Disney Magic
for the summer of 2005, offering seven-night cruise vacations from the
Port of Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera.

Just in time
to celebrate one of Disney's biggest milestones—Disneyland park's
big
5-0 –- the highly distinctive 2,600-passenger ship is scheduled to
sail 12 consecutive seven-night cruise vacations each Saturday from the
Port of Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas
between May 28 and August 19, 2005.

"The
Disney Cruise Line experience is better than ever," said Karl Holz,
Disney Cruise Line president. "The great asset that we have at Disney
Cruise Line is the flexibility to introduce a completely new audience
to a whole new way to vacation with Disney."

The leading
family cruise line will offer guests the opportunity to combine the fun
and excitement of the Disneyland Resort with the enchantment of a Disney
Cruise Line voyage by booking two-night pre- or post-cruise stays in one
of Disney's three Anaheim resort hotels.

"Disneyland
's 50th anniversary will mark the first time that all theme parks have
joined together in a truly global celebration," said Matt Ouimet,
Disneyland Resort president. "We're thrilled to have Disney Cruise
Line be a part of the magic that began here almost 50 years ago."

The repositioning
of the Disney Magic also includes two 14-night Panama Canal cruises, nicely
blending exotic ports of call with leisurely days at sea.

The Disney
Magic is scheduled to return to Florida Sept. 3, 2005. Sister-ship Disney
Wonder will continue sailing three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas
out of Port Canaveral, Florida, and offering land/sea packages with the
Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney Cruise
Line specifically designed its ships with areas and activities that appeal
to the unique vacation needs of every member of the family. As a result,
its vacations offer guests an unbelievable cruise experience not found
anywhere else.

Stretching
nearly an entire deck of the ship, children's programming spaces feature
supervised activities for five age-specific groups of children and teens.
Additionally, infants and toddlers are cared for at Flounder's Reef Nursery
allowing parents the opportunity to explore adult areas on their own.

The Walt
Disney Theatre provides a magnificent 977-seat showplace of state-of-the-art
sound, lighting, staging and set design. The curtain is lifted after the
sun drops and original Disney musicals, family-friendly variety acts and
first-run films entertain all ages. Adults have more late-night entertainment
to choose from than ever before along Beat Street, a nighttime entertainment
district — featuring a high-energy dance club, stylish jazz piano bar
and traditional sports pub — reserved exclusively for them.

Novel in
its approach and inventive in its execution, the dining experience rotates
guests through three different themed restaurants throughout the cruise.
Accompanied by their familiar waitstaff and tablemates, guests travel
from the casual elegance of Lumiere's to the colorful, island-inspired
Parrot Cay and Animator's Palate, where Disney animation springs to life
throughout their meal. Adults may also opt to dine at Palo, an exquisite
restaurant featuring sweeping views and northern Italian cuisine. Unique
new dining experiences created specifically for sea days aboard Disney's
seven-night cruise vacations include champagne brunch and afternoon high
tea for adults and Disney character breakfast and tea with Wendy for families,
plus a casual evening dining alternative at Topsider Buffet.

The 877 family-friendly
staterooms aboard each Disney ship were designed to offer maximum comfort.
Most feature an industry first—a bath-and-a-half with two separate
areas; one offering a shower and sink, the other a sink and toilet.
