Disney Fantasy floated out over the weekend over in Europe.

Now, for the listeners that don't know, what does floated out mean?

And now that she's in the water, what next?

Well, she was in Dry Dock, where she was being assembled indoors in Poppenberg, Germany at the Meyerworth yard.

First time, they filled up the tank, and they pulled her out, and it's a girl.

It's a 130,000-ton, beautiful baby girl, and they've named her Disney Fantasy.

She has 1,250 cabins for 2,500 passengers,

4,000 full, and she's a beauty. The ship is going to do a few little tests and tribulations

here. She gets floated up the river M's in Germany, where she'll be completed. Disney takes delivery of her on February

the 9th, and then she's heading over to the U.S., and she's tentatively scheduled to be in the

Big Apple up there in New York on February 28th until March 2nd, and her very first sailing

is March 31st.

Get that media exposure in New York, huh?

That's a nice place, because it'll certainly pave the way for when Disney Magic arrives.
