Travel and Tourist

Los Angeles officials has signed off last Thursday, March 30, 2009, for the plans of bringing the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship, beginning January 1, 2011, to San Pedro. The ship, running on low-sulfur fuel, will use the port’s existing cruise terminal and berths. The approval for this arrangement is expected to be approved by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners later this week. The two year contract includes a three-year extension option that will allow the Disney Wonder to operate for a series of cruises until December 31, 2015. During the summer of 2005 and 2008, Disney also operated cruises out of the Los Angeles Port sailing along the coast of Mexico although, final itineraries for the Disney Wonder is not yet finalized as said by Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo. The city, port and Disney officials made their announcement saying that the arrival of the cruise line to Los Angeles from Florida, will also generate 2600 new jobs and millions of dollars for the state and local in terms of tax revenue. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is very pleased with this and at a Hollywood theater he announced “during these tough times when the day’s top stories beat us down with news of the recession, layoffs and drops in tourism, 2,600 new jobs with 250,000 visitors is a headline I’d like to see more often”. Moving the Disney Wonder to Los Angeles despite of recession and economic turndown, is actually a sign of the company’s expansion as it will make way for two new larger ships: Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy which when finished, will be anchored at Port Canaveral, Florida.
