Disney Dream - Disney Cruise Line
The Disney Dream (Disney Cruise Line) offers immersive spaces that are perfectly designed for families, kids, and adults.
Disney Dream Cruise Ship Summary
The Disney Dream (Disney Cruise Line) offers immersive spaces that are perfectly designed for families, kids, and adults.
The Disney Dream sails a variety of itineraries all over the world, including cruises to top European destinations in the summer season, voyages from New York City in the fall and Bahamas and Caribbean sailings from south Florida.
Onboard, a guest favorite is the AquaDuck, a 765-foot long water coaster that suspends riders high above the sea; get lost in a magical tale of love during an exclusive live performance of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”; rediscover beloved stories, songs and characters during other Broadway-style stage spectaculars; and enjoy much-needed “me time” at dedicated kids’ clubs and adult escapes.
Why It’s Popular
Enchanting Entertainment: Delight in Broadway-caliber musicals, lively deck parties and fireworks at sea (fireworks on most cruises).
Spacious Staterooms: Designed for Families: extra space and storage, sitting area, and split bath to allow more people to get ready simultaneously.
Disney’s Private Island: Relax in paradise with beach chairs, umbrellas, waterslides and a buffet lunch (on most Bahamian and Caribbean cruises).
Variety of Dining Options: Enjoy upscale restaurants, buffets, poolside snacks and 24-hour room service.
Imaginative Youth Clubs: Play in themed clubs for every age, staffed by specially trained Disney counselors.
Nightclubs & Lounges: Discover adults-only areas that include a variety of bars and pubs.
Pools & Recreation: Splash it up in freshwater pools and waterslides at sea.
Entertainment
From dazzling stage shows to over-the-top deck parties, entertainment aboard the Disney Dream is designed to delight the entire family. Broadway-style stage spectaculars delight audiences in the lavish Walt Disney Theatre, one of which is exclusively presented aboard the Disney Dream.
“Beauty and the Beast” brings Belle’s enchanting adventure to the Walt Disney Theatre stage in a whole new way by incorporating imaginative elements from the live-action film and the classic animated feature. Guests are invited to experience this tale as old as time like never before, as they are whisked away on a magical journey to discover the power of transformation in this Broadway-style musical that is exclusive to the Disney Dream.
“Disney’s Believe” features a cast of beloved characters who help a father dedicated to his work as a botanist discover that there is something far more important to tend to than his plants.
“The Golden Mickeys” is a Hollywood-style awards show celebrating the musical heritage of Disney animated films with spectacular songs and special appearances from Mickey and friends.
There are also movies shown in the Walt Disney Theatre, as well as up on deck by the family pool and in the Buena Vista Theatre, a cinema with plush stadium-style seats that screens first-run movies and digital 3-D films.
On select itineraries, there’s an evening brimming with buccaneer fun during the “Pirates IN the Caribbean” celebration. An interactive show featuring Jack Sparrow culminates in a fireworks spectacular choreographed to the dramatic musical score from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. This is a family-friendly bash featuring electrifying music, stunning visuals and special effects.
The Disney Dream continues the Disney Cruise Line tradition of age-appropriate fun for kids of all ages in specially designated spaces just for them:
Disney’s Oceaneer Club transports kids ages 3 to 12 to the magical lands of Disney fairies, courageous superheroes, adventuresome toys, undersea exploration, and Force-filled characters that are out of this world.
Disney’s Oceaneer Lab is a nautical wonderland where children ages 3 to 12 embark on a journey of discovery with arts and crafts, gaming, and counselor-led activities.
It’s a Small World Nursery is a whimsical world for infants and toddlers up to age 3 where they are safely cared for by trained Disney counselors.
Vibe (ages 14 to 17) and Edge (ages 11 to 14) are ultra-cool teens and tween hangouts with comfy couches, music, video games, and other chill-out necessities.
At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, aspiring young princesses and knights become Disney royalty with the help of a fairy godmother-in-training.
When the pirate deck party is on the evening schedule, the space transforms into The Pirate League, where young sailors can unleash their inner buccaneer with a piratical makeover.
Entertainment for Adults on the Disney Dream
On the Disney Dream, guests step into a domain that’s all their own at The District—an extraordinary adult-exclusive nighttime entertainment neighborhood that features trendy and sophisticated bars and lounges.
Skyline is an ever-changing venue that celebrates some of the world’s most famous cities. Tall “windows” along one wall give guests a birds-eye view of stunning city skylines such as Paris, Rio, New York, Chicago and Hong Kong.
Pink: Wine and Champagne Bar is an intimate cocktail bar serving top-shelf wines and liquor as well as champagne.
Evolution is the premiere venue and the main club for adult guests, bringing a piece of big-city nightlife to the high seas.
Pub 687 is a warm and welcoming environment – a modern interpretation of a traditional pub. The casual setting is perfect for guests to kick back and watch live sports and major broadcast events on one of several flat-screen televisions.
District Lounge is the first entertainment venue upon entering The District. Here, guests find a stylish, relaxed atmosphere with comfortable, contoured seating and an open floor plan.
Dining on the Disney Dream
Enjoying the three uniquely themed family restaurants aboard the Disney Dream is convenient and hassle-free, as guests “rotate” through the restaurants each night accompanied by the same serving team for a variety of menus and cuisines and friendly, personalized service.
Royal Palace, is an exquisite dining room perfect for any king or queen.
Enchanted Garden, is a transformative oasis inspired by the gardens of Versailles; and Animator’s Palate, a Disney Cruise Line signature restaurant, is the perfect setting for delicious dining with a magical Disney twist.
While dining at Animator’s Palate, families are immersed in a vivid undersea environment during “Undersea Magic,” where Crush makes a special guest appearance and engages in live impromptu interactions with guests as he swims around the restaurant.
Two adult-exclusive restaurants – Palo, specializing in modern Italian cuisine, and Remy, an upscale and romantic dining experience serving French-inspired cuisine – feature stunning ocean views and a formal, romantic ambiance.
Disney Dream Staterooms
There are a variety of staterooms on the Disney Dream. Veranda Staterooms are the most popular. For additional space and occupancy, Disney offers Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms.
