CELEBRATION, Fla. (Jan. 26, 2010) – An elaborately themed interactive sports deck, whimsical water play area, and relaxing poolside oasis for adults join the first-ever shipboard water coaster – AquaDuck – to provide fun in the sun for guests sailing on the newest Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Dream.

These additions, announced today, one year from the maiden voyage of the Disney Dream, offer new experiences for guests of all ages.

Goofy’s Sports Deck
On Goofy’s Sports Deck, the magic tees off on deck 13 with Goofy’s Golf – a miniature golf course where “lessons” featuring Goofy and his son, Max, lead guests through nine themed holes of wacky fun. Each hole offers special golf instructions – with a goofy twist. Lessons include:
• “Handling a dog leg” – Guests avoid a fire hydrant and use Pluto’s dog bone to guide them to the hole.
• “Stuck in the rough” – Goofy shows golfers how to avoid the tall turf and steer clear of a lawn mower.
• “Reading the green” – Stacks of books and a large magnifying glass are obstacles to circumvent on this undulating green.
• “Attacking the green” – Yo ho, yo ho! Golfers and landlubbers take a swashbuckling approach to sinking their putt on this pirate-themed hole.

Guests can choose to use the Goofy or Max tee on each hole, offering twice the fun. Family-friendly competitions and tournaments will keep the excitement on par while quirky golf clubs, some crooked and bent, will challenge golfers to stay on course. Goofy and Max may even swing by to interact with guests and offer some tips on club selection, stance or just goofing around.

Also on Goofy’s Sports Deck, two digital sports simulators provide a variety of virtual game experiences such as soccer, tennis, basketball, golf and more. With the simulators, guests can kick, swing and throw, participating in favorite high-action sports without the hassle of chasing the ball.

Max’s Courts are two mini-sized sports courts for little ones to enjoy soccer, basketball or group play. There’s full-court basketball that may also be transformed into a mini soccer pitch or volleyball court, plus table tennis and foosball tables. A walking track rings Goofy’s Sports Deck.

Nemo’s Reef
Little ones discover oceans of fun at this fanciful water-play area overflowing with pop jets, bubblers and lovable underwater friends like Nemo, Dory, Marlin and other favorites from the Disney•Pixar film, “Finding Nemo.”

Shaded for protection from the sun and featuring a soft wet-deck surface, the 1,500-square-foot Nemo’s Reef is a place for children to cool off and play among colorful, interactive figures that move and spray water. Children will delight as they splash alongside Nemo swimming in a sea anemone, glide down a pint-sized water slide shaped like Mr. Ray and frolic near Pearl the octopus who “inks” herself with a mist of water. Kids can even get soaked in a water curtain that undulates back and forth like the EAC (East Australian Current).

Nemo’s Reef is surrounded by a glass enclosure, with a main guest entrance and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Quiet Cove Pool and Cove Bar
Reserved exclusively for guests 18 and older, the Quiet Cove Pool and Cove Bar is a retreat for adults to sunbathe and swim, indulge in a cool drink or enjoy a relaxing dip in a nearby hot tub overlooking the ocean.

One of three fresh-water pools on the Disney Dream, Quiet Cove Pool features varying depths for taking a dip, sunbathing in comfort and enjoying a poolside cocktail. A series of connected circular pools includes a 4-foot-deep plunge pool and a 6-inch-deep sunbathing pool with built-in loungers and a mister. Guests also can splash up to Cove Bar, which is part of the pool, and sip a refreshing beverage.

Nearby, on the sides of deck 11, guests can soak in a whirlpool hot tub while overlooking the ocean. Four “infinity” whirlpool hot tubs – two for families and two just for adults – provide spectacular views of the ocean beyond.

AquaDuck and More!
The Disney Dream will feature the world’s first shipboard water coaster – AquaDuck – which will sweep guests away on an exhilarating high-speed flume ride featuring twists, turns, drops, uphill acceleration and river rapids – all while traversing the upper decks of the ship.

Donald Pool is the place for families to gather and enjoy all of the activities up on deck. Overlooking Donald Pool is the giant Funnel Vision LED screen – more than 30 feet wide and 18 feet high – showing Disney films and other live broadcast events. A retractable floor extends over the pool, providing an ideal dance floor for deck parties.

Continuing a favorite feature of the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, the Disney Dream will also have a Mickey Pool for children. The shape of Mickey Pool resembles the beloved Disney character, and an oversized version of Mickey’s hand supports a yellow winding slide that splashes down near the pool.

As an added convenience for parents with children of different ages, Donald Pool, Mickey Pool and Nemo’s Reef are all located within the same vicinity, on deck 11 between the forward and aft funnel.

Disney Dream:
Creativity, Innovation Take the Helm

New Disney Cruise Ship Setting Sail in 2011

CELEBRATION, Fla. (Oct. 29, 2009) – A first-of-its kind water coaster that sends guests racing above the upper decks of the ship. An animated turtle that engages children in conversation about life in the ocean. A sophisticated lounge where the sun sets over the skyline of a different world-famous city each night. When the Disney Dream debuts in early 2011, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line® fleet will bring to life these innovations and more.

The new Disney Dream™ will take family cruising to all-new heights, embracing the spirit of innovation, magical entertainment and immersive experiences that have made Disney Cruise Line the preeminent cruise of choice for families since 1998.

Disney Cruise Line revolutionized the cruise industry with purpose-built ships designed just for families. With the Disney Dream setting sail on Jan. 26, 2011, preparations are underway to expand the one-of-a-kind family experience, utilizing technology to enhance the world-class entertainment and legendary guest services onboard. From stem to stern, the Disney Dream will offer a cruise experience that caters to the preferences of the whole family.

“For more than a decade, passengers have filled their passports with memories sailing around the world with Disney Cruise Line,” said Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo. “With the Disney Dream joining our fleet, we’ll be able to take families to even more places they never imagined they could visit – in true Disney style.”

The Disney Dream features a remarkable interior design which provides guests with a warm and welcoming feel throughout. The ship’s design offers guests a perfect blend of elegant Art Deco style and fun-filled Disney whimsy to create one of the most spectacular ships afloat. Distinctly Disney guest features aboard the Disney Dream include:

Family-Friendly Innovations

The Disney Dream™ will introduce a number of cruise-industry firsts and family-friendly innovations designed to make your Client’s experience even more magical. Among the highlights:

  • AquaDuck – Disney Cruise Line® debuts the first-ever shipboard water coaster! This exhilarating high-speed flume ride featuring twists, turns, drops, uphill acceleration and river rapids — all while traversing the upper decks of the ship.
     
  • Virtual Porthole – A cruise-industry first for all inside staterooms! Virtual Portholes offer a “window” to the world with a real-time view outside the ship using high-definition cameras. As Guests observe the view, they may glimpse a magical surprise: animated characters like Mickey Mouse may pop by the Virtual Porthole.
     
  • Enchanted Art - Around the atrium lobby and throughout the ship, Enchanted Art will immerse your Clients in Disney storytelling in a completely new way. Enchanted Art magically comes alive as Guests pause to admire individual pieces.
     
  • Living Characters - In youth spaces, Disney Characters come to life and interact with children in one-of-a-kind experiences. Crush, the animated sea turtle from the Disney•Pixar motion picture “Finding Nemo,” or the mischievous animated alien Stitch make scheduled appearances to chat, play and joke with kids in live, unrehearsed conversations.

A Modern Classic Vessel

Like her sister ships, the Disney Dream™ continues the tradition of blending the elegant grace of early 20th century transatlantic ocean liners with contemporary design to create one of the most stylish and spectacular cruise ships afloat.

  • Signature Design - The ship’s exterior color scheme matches the iconic Mickey Mouse with a black hull, bold red funnels and vivid yellow striping and lifeboats. Silhouettes of Disney Characters are scrolled into the signature filigree ornamentation. Inside, the elegant décor is influenced by the Art Deco style with a dash of Disney whimsy.
     
  • Atrium Lobby - The magical voyage begins upon entering the expansive three-deck atrium lobby, highlighted by a sweeping grand staircase, oversized portholes and stunning, three-story fluted columns with glowing capitals. Cast in bronze, Admiral Donald Duck graces the atrium lobby.

Staterooms and Suites

Catering to the unique vacation needs of families, Disney Dream™ staterooms offer comfort and style synonymous throughout the Disney fleet.

  • 150 inside staterooms featuring Virtual Portholes, a cruise-industry first.
  • 1,100 outside staterooms
  • 860 verandahs
  • 199 ocean views
  • 20 concierge family ocean view suites with verandah
  • 19 concierge one-bedroom suites with verandah
  • 2 concierge royal suites

To accommodate larger families and groups traveling together, there are 500 connecting doors adjoining staterooms. Most staterooms feature a split-bath — a concept that Disney introduced to the cruise industry.

Dining on the Dream

Elaborately themed restaurants, distinctly Disney touches and world-class cuisine will please the palate and satisfy all of the senses — making dining aboard the Disney Dream™ a memorable experience for your Clients.

  • Animator’s Palate - A re-imagined version of the signature Disney Cruise Line® restaurant will bring the magic of Disney animation into the dining room for a one-of-a-kind experience that will captivate the entire family.
     
  • Royal Palace - An elegant restaurant inspired by classic Disney films such as “Cinderella” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Splendid décor includes ornate marble floors and luxurious carpets plus a magnificent, hand-blown chandelier made of glass slippers.
     
  • Enchanted Garden - A whimsical, casual restaurant inspired by the gardens of Versailles. Your Clients will feel as though they’ve arrived at a lovely conservatory, with white trellises, custom glass “flower” light fixtures and cascading fountain. The dining environment will magically transform from day to night during the meal.

Magical Youth Spaces

Disney Cruise Line® revolutionized the cruise industry with elaborately themed youth areas. On the new Disney Dream, the celebration of children’s creativity rises to a new level with extraordinary youth spaces designed to inspire, entertain and spark the imagination of children in nearly an entire deck created just for them.

  • Andy’s Room - The world of the Disney•Pixar “Toy Story” films comes to life. Kids experience the feeling of being toy-sized as they play among larger-than-life characters from the animated film.
     

  • Monster’s Academy - A fun, interactive space fashioned after the scare floor from the Disney•Pixar film “Monsters, Inc.”
     

  • Pixie Hollow - Children are transported to the enchanted land inhabited by Tinker Bell and her fairy friends, complete with a pixie tree, twinkling lights and fairy houses.
     

  • Explorer Pod - Inspired by the Disney•Pixar animated film “Finding Nemo,” a bright blue and yellow submarine surfaces in the center of the room, offering an interactive play area for children.
     

  • It’s a Small World Nursery - Infants and toddlers are welcomed by cheerful, three-dimensional facades and artwork inspired by the classic Disney Theme Park attraction.
     

  • Edge - Located inside the forward funnel, this lounge is just for tweens ages 11 – 13 and is filled with a multitude of hi-tech entertainment including the ability to create and star in photo postcards and video karaoke.
     

  • Vibe - A “teens-only” swipe card provides access to this trendy, indoor/outdoor space created especially for teens ages 14 – 17.

Just for Adults

With a spectacular nighttime entertainment district, exquisite dining, a deluxe spa and tranquil private pool, the Disney Dream™ provides adults with endless ways to unwind, rejuvenate and pamper themselves.

  • The District - Located on Deck 4 aft, this adult-exclusive nighttime entertainment area features sensational venues like a sophisticated lounge, modern pub, upscale cocktail lounge, metropolitan “sky bar” and dynamic nightclub.
     

  • Senses Spa & Salon – Spanning two decks, the 16,000-square-foot spa provides private treatment rooms, rainforest, lavish spa villas and ocean-view gym.
     

  • Palo - A redesigned version of the Disney Cruise Line® signature restaurant, Palo invites adults to indulge in a menu of delectable Northern Italian cuisine, an extensive wine list and superior service.

Top ten choices for family vacations:

 

top family vacation spot - Orlando Orlando:
Theme park capital of the world, and home to dozens of great places to stay. Your kids can even play on sandy beaches in land-locked Orlando: a number of resorts have “beach pools”. Read about Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, other attractions; NickHotel with two waterparks and much themed fun; Orlando at Christmas; and more.

Orlando-Theme park capital of the world, and home to dozens of great places to stay. Your kids can even play on sandy beaches in land-locked Orlando: a number of resorts have “beach pools”. Read about Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, other attractions; NickHotel with two waterparks and much themed fun; Orlando at Christmas; and more.

 

Cancun and Mayan Riviera
Two hot vacation spots, in one: stay in Cancun, visit Riviera Maya attractions; or stay in the Riviera Maya and day-trip to Cancun. Cancun’s 25-kilometer Hotel Zone is a magnet for those who want shopping, dining, and urban pleasures with their beaches; many families stay at ancun’s all-inclusive resorts. (Tip: for a quieter location, try Club Med Cancun Yucatan, on its own peninsula at the edge of the hotel strip.) To the south, the very different 100-km Mayan Riviera has its own all-inclusives plus wonderful activities: visit Mayan ruins, snorkel on the world’s second-largest barrier reef, swim in “cenotes”; visit Xcaret eco-theme park.

 

Caribbean All-Inclusive Resorts
Caribbean all-inclusives are a popular choice for families, who love the beaches, watersports, and kids clubs; some resorts take kids programs above and beyond. 
 

Williamsburg VA
Combine educational fun at Colonial Williamsburg with just-plain-fun at the nearby Busch Gardens Europe theme park and (in summer) Water Country USA giant waterpark. History comes to life in Colonial Williamsburg: actors and volunteers portray people from 230-odd years ago, bringing to life the 1770’s just before the American Revolution. Yorktown and other historical areas can be easily visited on the same trip.

 

Arizona
First: iconic scenery, such as awesome Monument Valley, where you can also learn about the Navajo. Lake Powell is stunning too: go houseboating on this million-acre lake in a flooded canyon. Do an easy raft ride down the Colorado River in a red-rock canyon; or a whitewater raft adventure in the famous Grand Canyon, which you can also explore by a mule ride or helicopter flightseeing. Take the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams Arizona, where Route 66 still lives (and so does the Wild West.) Not to mention dude ranches and family resorts…

 

Myrtle Beach and Other South Carolina
South Carolina is the #2 state for tourism after Florida, with Myrtle Beach the biggest vacation spot with over 13M visitors a year. Myrtle Beach sits in a 60-mile stretch of beaches called the Grand Strand, and is is a budget-friendly, family-friendly place; many hotels have kids activities. The area has water parks, amusement park, dinner shows (such as Medieval Times), and other family entertainment; the Hard Rock Park will open in 2008. Hilton Head Island is another top vacation spot in S. Carolina.

 

Hershey PA
Three hours from NYC, 90 mins from Phillie, “Chocolate Town USA” offers Hersheypark (voted top amusement park by FamilyFun Magazine); Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park; the Hotel Hershey, a grand old hotel with kid’s club; Hershey Lodge; Hershey’s Chocolate World Visitors Center; and more.

 

Wisconsin Dells
Wisconsin Dells– with a population of just 4000– is the indoor water park capital of the world. Over twenty resorts offer an indoor water park to their guests; some sell passes to outsiders too. A number have outdoor facilities in summer also.

 

Southern California Vacation Spots
Anaheim, in the LA area, is home to Disneyland, a much smaller complex than Disney World, but a great family vacation spot with Magic Kingdom and California Adventure theme parks. Nearby is Universal Studios Hollywood theme park with move-based attractions. South of LA is Legoland California, with rides, live shows, and mini-lands made from millions of Lego blocks; location just 1/2 hr. from San Diego — another great vacation spot.

 

Oahu Hawaii
Oahu is a mere 597 sq. miles, but families will find plenty to do. Most of the action is in the south, around Waikiki; the north is very different, less developed, and well worth visiting. Check out: boat trips, wild dolphins, surf lessons (even for eight-year-olds), Atlantis submarine outing, Pearl Harbor, luaus… even “soaring” in a sporty little glider, with beautiful coast below.

Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay, is getting an extra dose of pixie dust! New enhancements include an expanded family beach, new water features and play areas, private beach cabanas and more. Completion is scheduled for summer 2010.

Castaway Cay is consistently rated by Disney Cruise Line® Guests as their favorite port of call – the ultimate private island escape for adventure, relaxation and quality time with family.
 

Expanded Family Beach

  • This popular area is being extended by more than 700 feet so that your Clients have more room to enjoy the pristine white sand, relax under an umbrella or take a dip in the warm, azure waters of the lagoon.
  • As an added convenience, the area also will include a new family lunch-buffet location, a new beach bar, and additional beach rental and merchandise locations.

New Water Areas

  • Your Clients can slide, splash and plunge at a new water feature called Pelican Plunge. The 2,400-square-foot floating platform, located within swimming distance of shore, features two corkscrew water slides
  • A new water play area called Spring-a-Leak lets parents and kids cool off. There’s also a new water play area just for the youngsters at Scuttle’s Cove.

New Beach Cabanas

  • Your Clients can have a little piece of paradise all to themselves at one of 20 new private cabanas. The premium rental cabanas provide the privacy and luxury of a deluxe beach retreat with an option to add the personalized service of a cabana host.
  • Most private cabanas are located on the far side of the Family Beach, but a handful of private cabanas are situated on Serenity Bay Beach, exclusively for adults.
