Disney Cruise Line’s relationship with the Bahamas goes far beyond the ports its ships call at and the private destinations its guests visit.

There is a specific kind of Disney fan who marks the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket sale date on their calendar the moment it is announced, clears their schedule for the morning of the sale, and has their credit card information pre-loaded and ready to go before the clock strikes the opening minute of the purchase window.
