First it was the theme park that tilted east, with more people pouring into <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em;\">Disney World<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em;\"> than <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/disneyland.disney.go.com\" style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em;\">Disneyland<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6em;\">, the foundation that old Walt built almost six decades ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">And for the last 15 years, the extension of the Disney empire has continued to lean to the east. Never is that more evident than right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">All four <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/\">Disney<\/a> ships are currently based in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The last to return to the family breeding waters was the <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/wonder\/\">Wonder<\/a>. After a summer sailing to Alaska, it stopped off in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galveston.com\/default.asp\">Galveston<\/a> for a few months on the way home. There it will stay, in Miami, until heading north to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alaska.com\/\">Alaska<\/a> again in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Meanwhile, the <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/magic\/\">Magic<\/a> has moved up the coast from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miami.com\/\">Miami<\/a> to Port Canaveral for a family reunion of sorts&hellip;or a vacation with her sisters <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/dream\/\">Dream<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships-activities\/ships\/fantasy\/\">Fantasy<\/a>, which never leave home. The two newest ships in the fleet spend the entire year on mostly cruises from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portcanaveral.com\/cruising\/cruising.php\">Port Canaveral<\/a> to the Caribbean. They always stop at <a href=\"http:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/cruises-destinations\/bahamas\/ports\/castaway-cay\/\">Castaway Cay<\/a>, Disney&#39;s private island, to help the family financial fortunes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Over the last seven years, the Magic has established a following by operating from her second home in the summers, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelona.com\/\">Barcelona<\/a>. Except for that and five Caribbean cruises from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topuertorico.org\/city\/sanjuan.shtml\">San Juan<\/a>, Puerto Rico, that&#39;s it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In fact, from now until April 2015, we could only find 33 Disney cruises that did not embark somewhere in Florida. That&#39;s for all four ships and includes two repositioning cruises to bring the Wonder back from Alaska next year and the Magic back from Europe. If you calculate that ships operate 7-day cruises on average, that means 33 of approximately 260 cruises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Or, 12 per cent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Florida is Disney, and vice-versa<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12028\" height=\"125\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DailyDeal-2-e1334202169354.jpg\" title=\"DailyDeal-2\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ncl.com\/cruise-ship\/getaway\/overview\" style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\">Norwegian Getaway<\/a><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">7 nights<\/span><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">February 15, 2014<\/span><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.miami.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Miami<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;(return):&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.st-maarten.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">St. Maarten<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/st-thomas.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">St. Thomas<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nassauparadiseisland.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Nassau<\/a><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Inside: $599<\/span><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"><strong>Cost per day: $85<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ncl.com\/\" style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">www.ncl.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; While it was conceived in California, the magical machine that is Disney belongs &mdash; essentially &mdash; to Florida.
