In her first step towards her inaugural sailing, the Disney Fantasy “Floated Out” of the  Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany for the very first time!

Thousands of visitors lined the shore, celebrating the occasion with Captain Mickey Mouse and, of course, a fireworks spectacular. This special maritime event, known as “Float Out,” marks the biggest construction milestone for the Disney Fantasy to date, less than 90 days before the ship welcomes guests for her maiden voyage.

The entire “Float Out” process took about two hours. Instead of watching a two hour video of the Fantasy moving a few hundred yards, we have a nice time lapse video for you, so you could get a glimpse at this magnificent ship as she emerged from the dock.
