The Aladdin Musical Spectacular on the Disney Cruise Line: When You Wish Upon Shellfish


 In February 2024, I went on my first ever Cruise, and it was on the Disney Wish.  One of my favorite parts of the trip was the Aladdin Musical Spectacular live theater show.  This presentation features special effects, puppets, and show-stopping musical numbers, as you might imagine.  I decided to make Aladdin, Genie, and the Magic Carpet as seen in the show using materials found on the beaches in Venice, Florida.  I used shark teeth (particularly in Aladdin and Genie's hair) and a variety of shells.  And a lot of glittery paint.  Filming is not allowed in the show, so for reference, I found YouTube footage of the show from the Disney Fantasy from January 2017.

For this version of Aladdin, the Magic Carpet is perhaps the breakout character.  He is silent, and performs all sorts of acrobatic stunts.

My adventure on the Disney Wish was fantastic.  We did a 3 night Cruise and visited Nassau, and Castaway Cay.  I would like to give a special shout out to our assigned wait staff, Eduardo and Glory Ann, who performed magic tricks for us at dinner multiple nights!
