Seattle is about to discover the giant mass of humanity that loves Mickey Mouse and megaships after Disney Cruise Lines announced that Seattle – and not Vancouver – will be its home port for Alaska cruises.
The Wednesday announcement came two years after Disney snubbed the Emerald City and chose Vancouver for its Alaska line in 2009.
The announcement comes after the local cruise market took a hit with Holland America downsizing its number of Seattle cruises from 69 in 2010 to 50 this year, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported.
