Later today, the Disney Fantasy becomes a cruise ship reality with a star-studded christening ceremony in New York City. But before that magic moment, thousands of crew members, chefs, dancers, deckhands and technicians are working to make everything perfect for the Fantasy’s debut. Oh, and let’s not forget Minnie Mouse, since it’s her statue that guests see when they first walk into the Fantasy’s art nouveau atrium. Here’s a video look at the last minute preparations.
Live Twitter coverage of the ceremony begins at 7:45 p.m. EST on the @DisneyCruise account.
