More than 3,300 cruises were booked on the first day reservations were accepted for the new itinerary — the equivalent of 32,000 at-sea room nights — eclipsing the previous single-day booking record by more than 70%.

Magical Gatherings, which debuted in October 2003 at Walt Disney World Resort, is a program designed to tap into the trend in large group travel.

Disney Vacation Club was created to serve the growing demand for long-term ownership in Disney vacations. By the end of 2004, some 84,000 members had made a 50-year commitment to Disney Vacation Club — highlighting the enduring appeal of Disney destinations. With its ability to leverage existing real estate assets and sell memberships quickly, Disney Vacation Club has become an important element of the Parks and Resorts growth strategy.
