Are Disney’s Original Ships Too Old?26 Jul 202600:49:59

The Disney Magic and Disney Wonder started it all, and they're closing in on 30. There are five newer, bigger, flashier ships have joined the fleet since. Question: Do the originals still hold up, or are they coasting on nostalgia?

We put them on trial this episode, the case for "old and tired," the case for "classic and charming," and a verdict by the end.

The Disney Magic launched in 1998, the Disney Wonder in 1999, both are smaller than the Dream and Wish-class.

Plus, where these two ships go that the big ships can't, and what's ahead when both hit dry dock in 2026.
