Hey there!
In January I was privileged to experience one of the 'inaugural' sailings of the Disney Dream! The "Dream" is Disney's third cruise ship, with another to arrive in 2012!
My adventure began at Walt Disney World. I stayed for five days at the amazing Contemporary Resort on the Seven Seas Lagoon! We had a beautiful room with a view of Bay Lake. Our visit started of course at the "Magic Kingdom". I was so excited to have reserved breakfast with Cinderella- in the castle! Our "Royal Table" event was spectacular! As we dined with Aurora, Snow White, Ariel and Cinderella! Excellent service and the food was quite good.
On Friday night we 'pillaged and plundered' with the pirates! For the "Pirates and Pals" Fireworks Extravaganza! Absolutely the best time ever, and no better viewing experience for the fireworks then from our boat in the Seven Seas Lagoon! You must all try this at least once... so fun!
On Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and friends! A lovely dining experience at the Crystal Palace, just off Main Street USA.
On Sunday morning, excited and eager, we left for Port Canaveral to board the brand new ... Disney Dream! She is a beauty! Almost double the size of the first two ships (the Magic and Wonder), she carries 4,000 passengers. The stateroom was gorgeous, a verandah with big king bed and sitting area. The dining rooms; Animators Palette, Royal Palace, and Enchanted Garden all were really fun. The specialty restaurants Palo and Remy... stunning! The entertainment on board was pure Disney story telling at it's best! The theater is exquisite, and not a bad seat in the house. Then of course... the "AquaDuck"... you have to see it and experience it! The water coaster at sea, that at one point actually goes out over the side of the ship! Like I said... you gotta see it!
Anytime spent with Disney (for me) is truly 'magical'. This experience was quite possibly the best ever!
Just some magical memories... from this Travel Professional!
