It was an exciting afternoon today, when we learned all about the new Disney Dream Cruise Ship. This new cruise ship will be 50% bigger than the Disney Magic and Wonder and feature some older favorites and lots of new imagination. The Disney Dream will be docked in Port Canaveral, Florida and kick off the first cruise on January 26, 2011.
Some of the highlights of this new ship include virtual portholes inside the Interior Staterooms, a water coaster, fun kids themed play areas, and new themes for the dining rotation restaurants.
The Interior Staterooms will be more exciting than ever with virtual portholes. There will be live feeds from the exterior of the ship of the water. You will see the exact same view as if you had a window looking outside. You may also see a little glimpse of Peach (from Finding Nemo) or Mickey Mouse pop in to the virtual porthole.
The water coaster is a one-of-a-kind water slide at over 4 stories high and over 2 1/2 times the size of a football field. This clear tunnel water coaster is called the AquaDuck and is a high speed coaster with drops, twists, and turns around the ship. You will even go outside the ship, where all you will see is the ocean below at 150 feet.
The Oceaneer Clubs will be updated on the Disney Dream with new themes and even more fun for kids. The younger children will enjoy the larger than life theme of Andy's Room from Toy Story, explore the Laugh Floor from Monsters, Inc. or dive under the sea with Nemo. For the older kids, the Oceaneer Lab, will be a great sea adventure with maps, maritime instruments, and artifacts. Both the Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab will allow children to interact with animated characters like Stitch and Crush on a plasma screen.
Since dining is always an important part of any vacation, the Disney Dream makes the dining rotation even more magical with new restaurants. You will get to dine at Royal Palace themed after the classic Disney Princesses including Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, and Aurora. For a more casual dining experience, you will enjoy the Enchanged Garden inspired by the gardens of Versailles that will take you from day to night while you dine.
The new Disney Dream will feature 3-Night, 4-Night and 5-Night Cruises out of Port Canaveral, Florida to Nassau and Castaway Cay. You can start booking this incredible cruise on November 9. Contact us for more details on the new Disney Dream setting sail on January 26, 2011.
