Brian and Pam Get MARRIED!

Sadly, not everyone we invited can make it to the celebration.  We just got a card from someone who still may make it that I wanted to share.  I DO have a feeling we will see them on the cruise though.

Whether you travel with kids or take an adults-only Disney Cruise Line vacation, we have some amazing activities and dedicated areas onboard that are exclusively for adults. Whether you’re seeking serenity and relaxation, want to indulge in an incredible meal or are hoping for a fun night out, you can enjoy all of this and more. Our Disney Cruise Line specialist, Andi from the Walt Disney World Moms Panel, is back to give you a parents’ perspective on options especially for grown-up guests aboard our newest ship, the Disney Dream. And don’t worry about your children while you’re pampering yourself, because they’ll be having the time of their lives in our amazing youth clubs. Who is ready for some fun???!! BD

Great article on dining aboard the Dream.  Bon Appetit!! Rotational dining is unique to Disney Cruise Line , and the three dining rooms on the Disney Dream showcase cuisine that beautifully fits with each theme. Here’s a look at Animator’s Palate , Royal Palace and Enchanted Garden , with our favorite dishes. In case you haven’t been aboard the Disney Cruise Lines ships, rotational dining is a way of making sure each guest experiences each of the dining rooms. Every evening you have the same tablemates and the same servers as you “rotate” – you get a schedule when you board which tells you exactly when and where to go. Have you sailed on the Disney Dream and have your own favorite dining room and dish? At Animator’s Palate , we were too busy looking at all the fun animation touches – character sketches, character models, scenes from Disney and Disney•Pixar films – to focus on our menus, but our patient server said he was used to his guests being wowed by the décor.

There will be some great theater, aside from a wedding, on the Dream! What is Disney best known for? That’s right…its family entertainment, including the unrivaled Broadway-style musical productions you’ll find aboard Disney Cruise Line! Honoring the recent addition to our fleet, the Disney Dream, I would like to tell you about “Disney’s Believe.” This original musical, created exclusively for the Disney Dream, headlines the repertoire of stage spectaculars presented in the Walt Disney Theatre. “Disney’s Believe” introduces you to Dr. Cornelius Greenaway, a brilliant botanist obsessed with his work. You’ll also meet his imaginative and spirited daughter, Sophia, who is heartbroken because her father overlooks her birthday while being preoccupied with cultivating his precious plants. Sophia then makes a special birthday wish…and POOF! Genie from Disney’s “Aladdin” magically appears in Dr. Greenaway’s garden to teach him a valuable lesson about what’s important in life. N...

They let journalists and media on for a guided tour the other day.  I took the liberty of grabbing a few of the best or more interesting shots and putting them here. Brian

The Disney Dream will arrive at Florida’s Port Canaveral tomorrow, completing a voyage across the Atlantic Ocean that stretched approximately 6,500 miles.  With great partnership between Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering and built by skilled craftsmen at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is a marvelous realization of many dreams. Let’s take a look back: Construction began in March 2009 with the first piece of steel cut for the scrollwork on her bow, a pattern that evokes the classic ocean liners of the 1930s. She celebrated her keel laying in August 2009 and in June 2010 the ship’s final building block was attached , including the golden scrollwork. In October, the ship finally left dry dock and floated out into the shipyard harbor to the delight of the many spectators who came out to witness her public debut. From keel laying to float out, 430 days elapsed to bring the Disney Dream to life. Here t...
