Ah, Disney. We were just thinking it's been so quiet on the Disney front. No complaints about major lines, or being turned away, or not having a magical time in the Magical Kingdom. It's also been quiet on the Carnival cruise-ship-drama front. The wait is over: Disney's new cruise ship, the Disney Wonder, pulled into port this morning, according to CBS.

The 964-foot mega ship can carry 2,400 passengers and a crew of over 1,000. It leaves tonight for a cruise but the Port of Los Angeles will be its home base for the next two years and will offer regular 7-day cruises to the Mexican Riviera.
