Event Preview | The Queen Mary – Fantasea: Magic Festival

On April 8 – 10, 2016, the Queen Mary, the Academy of Magical Arts & their world famous clubhouse – Magic Castle will introduce us to Fantasea: Magic Festival.  This weekend long festival will be aboard the 1396 ocean liner- turned hotel.  You’ll be mesmerized as they’ll transform the ships decks & parlours to make this one of the most magical events of the year.  If you’ve been to a Queen Mary hosted event, you know they stop at nothing when it comes to detail.  No stone is left un-turned & every activity is thoroughly thought through and brought to life.  If you haven’t experienced the Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor (I still think about Scary Mary & her friends) or CHILL (my favorite) , stay tuned for my reviews.
