Do you remember watching the Disney Cruise Line commercials that aired in 1998, encouraging you to “discover uncharted magic” and set sail on the Disney Magic? Sixteen years have passed, and with four ships in its fleet, Disney Cruise Line is as bustling as ever with many dozens of voyages around the world each year.

I recently returned from a most excellent, elegant, and exciting voyage on the Disney Fantasy, the newest of the vessels. I continue to praise everything about what the ship has to offer, both tangibly and emotionally, but to describe an experience does not mean as much as actually living it.

I hope to encourage you to realize the possibilities of Disney Cruise Line, albeit through experiencing it vicariously, as I share memories of my time aboard the Disney Fantasy. My story is just one of many that individuals experienced on the same ship during the same week. Each varies in level of relaxation and fun, but almost all contain the same core elements that define Disney Cruise Line: magic, in every sense of the word.

Mash it up! Many media users love nothing more than putting their own spin on content already on the web. What better way to express passion for films than meshing together visuals and sounds that may not ordinarily link together? But with some patience and talent, these endeavors can evolve into stunning mashup trailers.

Here are seven more mashups of the many brands under the Walt Disney Pictures sun (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Muppets, and Disney).

22 years and 27 films later, The Walt Disney Company will end its partnership with Jerry Bruckheimer, long renowned as one of Hollywood’s most prolific, profitable, and esteemed producers. This announcement comes in light of some massive financial failures for Bruckheimer and Disney – most regrettably The Lone Ranger‘s disappointing box office figures – and the integration of Marvel and Lucasfilm into the Studio’s lineup.

But though this partnership may conclude in 2014 – essentially finishing a few years down the line with the release of the recently delayed fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film and potentially another National Treasure entry – we cannot overlook the numerous successes they shared, too. Let us review the Disney/Bruckheimer movie timeline. Buckle your seat belts, watch out for car chases and explosions at every turn, and take a ride on the roller coaster that Bruckheimer and Disney built.

The summer of 2015 is shaping up to be one of the biggest summers in movie history, with movies like Star Wars Episode VII, The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, Batman vs. Superman, Ant-Man, Terminator 5, Assassin’s Creed, and many others expected to be released. Jurassic Park IV—now officially titled Jurassic World—just joined the party as well.

The summer is so crowded, other big franchises are taking a step back. The fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, officially titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, was also scheduled for a summer 2015 release, but Disney has decided to push it back to 2016 instead.

An official titled for the fifth installment of Disney’s juggernaut Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been revealed.

In a recent interview about their Academy Award-nominated Kon-Tiki, Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg revealed that the title of the next Pirates movie will be Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
