Vision of the Seas & Disney Magic
Nothing is more iconic to the history of Southern California than Disneyland.  So it was with pleasure I learned Disney Cruise Line was going to base Disney Magic out of San Pedro this summer for a series of Mexican Riviera cruises.  Disney Magic was their first foray into the growing cruise market. This 83.000grt ship had her maiden voyage on the 30th July 1998 and was followed a year later by Disney Wonder.  On August 17th, 2008, her final call to Los Angeles for the year, I was finally fated to get to the port to see this lovely ship.
Disney Magic was berthed in pier 93 facing starboard - an unusual arrangement that left me with no ability to really get a good picture of the front of the ship.  We were unable to take the harbor cruise as the Tall Ships Festival that was happening along the water impacted traffic all over the entire city of San Pedro.
