Disney Cruise Line’s 2000 – 2002 promotional VHS slip case featured a flap which opened to an offer letter along with a brochure to entice recipients to set sail on a new kind of Disney vacation.
Following the launch of the Disney Wonder, marketing materials began to promote additional vacation options such as the 7-night Caribbean voyages. Check out some of those rates for a spring vacation.
The brochure featured similar imagery included in marketing material from the launch of the Disney Magic shared in previous installments of The Vault series. The mini booklet of sorts included 2000/2001 sail dates as well as some pricing for the various itineraries and stateroom categories.
Wow, another fun look back to the infancy of Disney Cruise Line. Special thanks again to Pete for taking the time to digitize his original VHS copy of the 2000-2002 Disney Cruise Line Vacations promotional video as well as for the scans of the marketing materials.
Check out a previous installment of The Vault, where Pete shared VHS promotional video from 1989.
This is the video that hooked us!
I would love to see a digitized version of this.
