It’s All in the Details: The Horns of the Disney Fantasy

There is a clear leader when it comes to cruise ship horn battles. Since 1998, with the launch of the Disney Magic, Disney Cruise Line has been a unanimous winner of all such battles with the well-known When You Wish Upon A Star horn.

With the launch of the Disney Dream in 2011, Disney further solidified their rein by adding A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes, Be Our Guest, Be Our Guest, Put Our Service to the Test, it’s a small world after all, Hi-diddle-dee (An Actor’s Life For Me), Yo Ho, Yo Ho (A Pirates Life For Me), Makes No Difference Who You Are (the second line of When You Wish Upon A Star), and the full When You Wish Upon A Star – Makes No Difference Who You Are

When we sailed the Disney Dream on a 3-Night Bahamian cruise, we only heard two horns; A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes and When You Wish Upon A Star. On our recent Disney Fantasy 7-Night Eastern Caribbean cruise, we were informed that following the noon announcements, on the first sea day,  all the horns would be played.

I still get goosebumps during the Sail Away Party when it the the horn is first blown. I’m convinced that this a Pavlovian effect, considering it signals the beginning of a new adventure!

I think it is safe to say Disney Cruise Line will continue to dominate all future horn battles.

    I would love you forever (well, more than I already do) if you made these into ringtones like you did for the new frozen one.
