If You Need a Cruise In Main Street

It has been a long time since we have visited the fantastic windows of Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland Paris, so today let's have a look at a window that is very poignant considering recent events.


The window above stands in the right hand side of Town Square, once you enter under the Train Station. It is dedicated to Roy E. Disney, and reads as follows:

Pyewacket Cruise Lines
For a Day You Will Treasure
Book a Cruise That's a "Pleasure"
Capt. Roy E. Disney

Roy was a very keen sailor, and was very well known of his love of sailing. He had also held several speed records, including one which was the Los Angeles to Honolulu monohull time of 7 days, 11 hours, 41 minutes and 27 seconds back in July 1999. This was set on his faithful boat, Pyewacket, hence the title of the window that he holds.

As you know, Roy E. died on December 16th 2009, so although the Disney community was devastated by his loss, it is great to know his memory and name still live on throughout the parks!
