In the middle of the room is a model of the Disney Magic -- and it's a cutaway!

(If we're lucky, perhaps Captain Mickey will come ashore and greet us in person...)

If we step out onto the back deck, we can see the Magic herself:

But what we're all waiting for is for these doors to open ...

... and for our boarding group to be called:

Next time - Setting Sail!
