THE Disney
Magic, a 294m luxury cruise
ship, owned by the
Disney
Cruise
Liner, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company
paid a visit to the river Mersey and mooring at Liverpool's Liverpool
Cruise
Terminal, on Sunday, 12 June 2016. Her 1st visit was on Friday, 27 May 2016, but
that was a more low key affair, as it was a Friday. But on Her 2nd visit, the
City's waterfront came alive. This distinctive vessel sail in to the river. On
the shore, an outdoor cinema played Disney films which throughout the day. We
are told they where:- Frozen (sing a long), Finding Nemo, Toy Story and Mary
Poppins... All played in full! Despite the rain, the Royal Marines Bands kept on
playing on the band stand and performances from opera singer Danielle Thomas and
Liverpool’s Ukulele Orchestra took place. For the kids, a Magic Garden appeared
for them to explore, on the Pier Head... Also both kids and adults where
encouraged to embrace fancy dress for the day... Just before the events took
place, the Assistant Mayor and Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Events,
Councillor Wendy Simon, said:- "It’s a massive coup to welcome this vessel
to the City, particularly as it was Her trips to the British Isles and Liverpool
was just 1 of only 2 destinations in England, that she will sail in to this
year! The other being Dover. We couldn’t let the opportunity pass to mark the
occasion in some way, and we opted to run a family friendly event on the Pier
Head. It also gives us the chance to show the 2,700 passengers just what
Liverpool is about. It also lets us show them why we have a World Wide
reputation for staging fantastic free, outdoor events. We hope the passengers
and crew enjoyed the visit of what was 1 of the highlights of the 2016 cruise
season, in Liverpool.” The day was ended with the ship blowing her
