Disney Cruise Line spreads holiday cheer for students in The Bahamas with surprise visit from Mickey Mouse
It was a magical day for students and teachers at Albury Sayle Primary School in Nassau. While the Disney Wish was recently in port, Disney Cruise Line cast and crew members joined Mickey Mouse for a surprise visit to the school to celebrate the holiday season and spread joy.
“Disney Cruise Line ships visit Nassau every week, all year long, and for many of our crew members, this community feels like home,” said Bernadette Sweeting-Miller, public affairs manager, Disney Cruise Line. “It means so much to us to bring some Disney magic off the ship and create memorable moments for local students, especially this time of year.”
During the event, 150 primary school students had the opportunity to meet Mickey Mouse, give him a hug and take a photo with him. All the students also received a Disney toy to take home.
“It’s been said that ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ This is best seen in the educational arena as the community and organizations, like Disney Cruise Line, come together to improve the lives of our students,” said Naria Holbert, principal, Albury Sayle Primary School. “We are grateful for Disney Cruise Line’s support and the generous contributions they’ve provided our school for more than a decade.”
This year, as part of the Disney Ultimate Toy Drive, Mickey Mouse is going on a global giving journey. As he travels around the world, Mickey is visiting schools, hospitals and various nonprofit organizations to create happiness for kids and families in need.

Disney Cruise Line has supported its port communities in The Bahamas during the holiday season for many years. In addition to visiting students in Nassau, later this month, the team will continue to spread holiday cheer by providing gifts to schools in Eleuthera, where Disney’s new island destination Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point opened earlier this year, and in Abaco, where Disney Castaway Cay is located.
