Mr McAlpin has been with the Disney Cruise Line since it started a decade ago. He helped develop the company’s original business plan, negotiated construction contracts for the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, the purchase of Disney’s private island Castaway Cay, and the development of the company’s terminal at Port Canaveral.
