During our 7 day Alaska cruise on the Disney Magic, guests were treated to a 45 minute special in Fathoms featuring Marlana Dunn. If you’ve seen her steal the show as Mother Gothel in Tangled: The Musical or as Lady Tremaine on the Disney Magic, you know why she’s one of the best performers in Disney Cruise Line entertainment. In this clip, she performs Mother Knows Best.

Key Takeaways
- This was a special performance in Fathoms, an intimate venue on the Disney Magic, and the full show ran about 45 minutes.

- Her set included Anything Goes, Poor Unfortunate Souls and Mother Knows Best.
- This clip is Mother Knows Best from Tangled, including the reprise, and she had the room laughing along the way.
- Her New Jersey sass, incredible vocals and connection with the audience make this a must see for any Disney Cruise Line fan.
- We ranked her as the second best individual performer we’ve seen across all our voyages.
Good to Know
If you’re sailing on the Disney Magic, check your Navigator app for special performances in Fathoms. A smaller show like this one gives you a much more personal look at the performers than the big productions in the theater.
Whether you’re a Disney cruise veteran or planning your first sailing, this is the kind of entertainment that makes a Disney vacation unforgettable. Have you seen Marlana perform on a Disney cruise? I’d love to hear which role was your favorite.
