On November 25, Thanksgiving Day, Disney Cruise Line’s brand-new ship float will make its debut in New York City as part of the 95th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The “ship” has been christened “Magic Meets the Sea,” and is inspired by the style of the line’s newest upcoming ship, Disney Wish, which is set to debut next summer.

Just like the Disney Wish, our float will be a celebration of enchanting Disney storytelling, beloved characters and wishes come true.”
