Disney Cruise Line recently celebrated the milestone of placing the final building block on the Disney Fantasy, and now officials have revealed which character sculptures will be seen on the stern.
It’s Dumbo holding a bucket of paint in this trunk and Timothy perched on his hat holding a paintbrush. With so many characters to choose from, why were the flying elephant and his tiny friend chosen?
“We discussed a whole variety of characters and story ideas during many brainstorming sessions,” said Walt Disney Imagineer Diego Parras. “Ultimately, the idea of Dumbo and Timothy kept surfacing to the top, and we kept asking ourselves, what’s more ‘Fantasy’ than a flying elephant? Or the friendship of an elephant and a mouse? We immediately knew they would be the perfect match for the Disney Fantasy.”
Imagineers chose Goofy for the stern of the Disney Magic, Donald Duck and his nephews for the Disney Wonder and Sorcerer Mickey for the Disney Dream.
