The lobby of the Disney Dream
Set sail on the Disney Dream and experience the same enthusiasm and energy you find at the Walt Disney World Resort. The ship has six themed restaurants, including two for adults only. Experience Broadway-quality productions, first-run and classic Disney movies, and nightclubs. Separate areas of the ship were designed exclusively for adults and children.
One of the things that makes the Disney Dream, and the Disney Cruise Line, special is that there is something for everyone. Adults can take advantage of the adults-only restaurants, swimming pools, and nightclubs. Children can take part in the excellent children’s programs available. Of course, there are also plenty of activities that Guests can do as a family. With the Disney Cruise Line, families can choose how much time to spend together and how much time they want to spend pursuing separate interests.
Staterooms range from downright comfy to absolutely luxurious. Even the least expensive staterooms are decorated in radiant, warm woods and include a television, phone, cooler, and in-room safe. The vibrant and cheery bathrooms include a hair dryer and tub. Deluxe staterooms include a split bathroom, which makes family travel particularly comfortable, and almost half the staterooms offer a private verandah. Staterooms that sleep four usually have one queen bed, a single daybed, and a single berth. They are great for families but not so great for two couples. At the high-end, the two-bedroom Walter E. and Roy O. Disney suites are a feast for the eyes, decorated with exotic wood paneling and cut crystal. These luxurious suites even include a whirlpool tub!
The Disney Dream has three pools. One has a Mickey Mouse motif and waterslide and is intended for families. The second, a little less elaborate, is also set aside for families. The third pool is adults-only. The Disney Dream also offers a play area for toddlers who are not fully potty-trained and who wear swim diapers. This whimsical venue features spurting water jets, bubble makers and fountains. Special to the Dream (and the Fantasy) is AquaDuck, a 765 foot water coaster that winds up and down through four decks and even extends over the side of the ship. The pool area can also can be a stage for deck parties and dancing.
Cruises include all food onboard and lunch at Castaway Cay. Soft drinks are free at meals and at the beverage station. Alcoholic beverages are extra. Each night Guests are assigned to a different dining room. Royal Palace is the most formal dining room and it also open daily to all for full-service breakfast and lunch. Enchanted Garden is more causal, and also hosts the breakfast buffets. Animator’s Palate is an extraordinary room that transforms before your eyes. Palo is the ship’s intimate, adults-only restaurant with an elegant Italian menu and marvelous service. You may reserve a table at Palo in advance online or in person on the afternoon that you board, and seats can go quickly. There is also the adults- only Remy, a fine French restaurant. Breakfast and lunch buffets and snacks are served on Deck 11. Fountain drinks are complimentary from the beverage station on Deck 11.
The Disney Dream is a modern cruise ships that calls to mind classic ocean liners, but with instantly recognizable Disney touches. The interior combines nautical themes with Art Deco inspiration. The ship has two lower decks with cabins, three decks with dining rooms and show rooms, then five upper decks of cabins. There are plenty of outdoor public areas to relax in. All of the private and public areas have extensive childproofing, so you don’t have to worry about your little ones falling overboard.
I would recommend the Disney Dream to anyone who wants to relax and have a good time while experiencing the legendary service that only Disney provides.
