Can't wait to see how it all looks :)

From cruisecritic:
Disney Schedules Makeover for Magic this Fall
Last fall, Disney Wonder returned from dry dock with a refurbished interior and exterior, and three brand-new venues. This fall, Disney Magic gets the royal treatment -- the 83,000 ton, 2,700-passenger ship will enter dry dock on October 1 for a 10-day makeover.

Here is a sampling of what to expect:

Lush, innovative spa suites. The Vista Spa and Salon's fitness area will double in size and receive more exercise machinery, plus an area for classes (such as spinning and Pilates). The spa itself will be outfitted with new-to-the-industry indoor/outdoor treatment suites. Each indoor suite will be connected to an outdoor verandah -- complete with personal hot tub, chaise lounge and more.

Fresh space for children's activities. Three conference rooms on Deck 2 will be transformed into Ocean Quest, a nautically themed hangout for kids. Inside will be a replica of the ship's bridge (an LCD screen will stream live feed from the bridge, and offer a simulation game for children to "steer" in and out of various cruise ports).

Larger-than-life movie screen. Following the lead of Princess and Carnival, Disney is adding a jumbo LED screen to the pool deck. The screen will measure 24 by 14 feet and be utilized to broadcast sporting events and movies.

Disney Magic will resume sailing an alternating schedule of Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises on October 15.

anyone have any idea if the Wonder will be experiencing some of the same changes?

It was truly magical (pun intended) to see the Magic being worked on from my room at the Portsmouth Renaissance last weekend. We had no idea the ship was going to be there, but it was definitely neat to see the lit-up neon Mickeys and the 24-hour-a-day work in progress. To now find out it was only there for 10 days makes me feel even more lucky!

This part sounds really cool to me. I'm all about the spa.

Maybe in a little while. It was just in dry dock last October. During that refurb, it got the extra port hole opening for the new adult lounge and the ESPN lounge conversion to the new teen area. Maybe if/when it goes into dry doc next year (or the year after) it will get the same treatment that the Magic got during this last rehab.

From what I am told, they have to go into dry dock twice during a five year cycle for insurance purposes, hence my above prediciton on the dry dock cycle time.
