Disney Fantasy's Christening on the 1st March

Later this evening, the Disney Fantasy becomes a cruise ship reality with a star-studded christening ceremony in New York City.

Before that magic moment, thousands of crew members, chefs, dancers, deckhands and technicians are working to make everything perfect for the Fantasy’s debut.

It’s going to be a spectacular event! Disney CEO Bob Iger and Tom Staggs, the chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, will preside over the gala ceremony and they’ll be joined by several special guests, including the godmother of the Disney Fantasy.

Live Twitter coverage of the ceremony begins at 7:45 p.m. EST on the @DisneyCruise account.

Here’s a video look at the last minute preparations.
