Photos / Video: Disney Destiny Officially Christened with a Spectacular Drone and Projection Show at Port Everglades

Disney Cruise Line celebrated the christening of their newest ship, the Disney Destiny, with a spectacular drone and projection show over Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.

Christening is a maritime tradition that brings good luck to the ship, its crew and all who sail on the vessel. But with this being Disney, the event was a pretty spectacular occasion! The christening was celebrated with a show full of projections on the ship itself, drones above it, and live performers. A number of jaw-dropping moments took place, inspired by the multiple properties found aboard the ship, such as Black Panther, The Lion King, Frozen, and of course, the Disney Villains.

As the show came to a close, the moment of dedication arrived as Captains Mickey and Minnie took to the stage, alongside the Godparent of the Disney Destiny, Susan Egan (voice of Megara in Hercules) and Chairman of Disney Experiences, Josh D'Amaro.
