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 Port Everglades in south Florida. Most itineraries include a stop at Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, and some itineraries include a stop at DCL’s newest island destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point!

Disney Dream Overview

The maiden voyage for the Disney Dream was on January 26, 2011. This ship is 40% larger than the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic, with two additional decks and 1,250 staterooms. Each Inside stateroom has a “virtual” porthole showing rolling waves and Disney characters swimming by all in HD. One of the most popular features is the first-ever water roller coaster at sea – the Aqua Duck is 250 yards of transparent tubing that sends guests soaring over the top decks and, at one point – over the ocean!


The Disney Dream offers the latest designs with an Art Deco atmosphere, contemporary staterooms, elegant restaurants, and fabulous entertainment. In addition to the kids’ clubs, there are nightclubs, lounges, and theaters for movies and live shows.

DISNEY DREAM STATEROOMS

Take a 3D/VR Tour of Disney Dream Staterooms

The staterooms on the Disney Dream were designed especially for the needs of families. With this ship, an exciting new feature for inside staterooms was introduced – the addition of virtual portholes! These high-definition “portholes” have a 24-hour view of the ocean brought to you by a hi-def camera mounted outside the ship. Look closely – you may even see some of your favorite Disney characters float by!

Popular features from the other two ships, such as private verandahs and portholes with built-in seating, are also available.

Disney Dream Cruise Ship   DCL Fan

TV screens on the walls around the restaurant, and the Finding Nemo characters will visit the tables to chat with guests during “Undersea Magic.” Guests will also experience “Animation Magic”, an interactive dinner show involving the guests in the animation shown during the meal. Guests are invited to draw Disney characters on placemats when they first enter the restaurant; servers will collect the completed drawings, which later appear as animation on screens around the room. The guests’ names will be shown and they will receive their drawings back with a special animator’s stamp added. The show uses special Disney-created software to bring the drawings to life, along with a brand-new musical score and never-before-seen scenes from Disney films.

ENCHANTED GARDEN

Disney Dream Cruise Ship   DCL Fan

Enchanted Garden serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as a Main Dining restaurant. During the daytime meals, the ceiling is a bright blue sky. For the evening meal, the Enchanted Garden transforms itself from day to night with a starry sky full of constellations. The decor is made to feel like you are eating in the famous gardens of Versailles, France. White trellises, arches, and landscape artwork surround you. Lighting becomes part of the artwork, with the fixtures designed like glass flowers and light posts lining the center aisle. The glass flowers “bloom” at night and become colorful as the rest of the gardens open. The centerpiece is a seven-foot-tall fountain with a Mickey Mouse statue.

ROYAL PALACE

This restaurant serves French-inspired cuisine that’s fit for a king or queen. The decor is inspired by classic Disney Princess films, including hand-painted portraits of Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, and Belle.

PALO

Disney Dream Cruise Ship   DCL Fan

With its 270-degree ocean view from high atop the ship, Palo has the loveliest view of all restaurants on the ship. Palo is for adults 18 and over only, and reservations are required. This restaurant features outstanding Northern Italian cuisine that is prepared to order.

Guests may only book ONE dinner at Palo in advance. However, if they make an online reservation for a Palo Dinner for the first night of their Disney cruise, they may also reserve a second Palo and/or Remy on one other night.



The view from Palo is spectacular due to the restaurant’s location on the ship, but please remember that the view is only “viewable” before sunset. Around the perimeter of Palo is a walkway, which is illuminated by bright lights at night. After sunset, the only things visible from Palo are those bright lights and a reflection of the restaurant’s interior. We would certainly not let this deter us from making an available reservation later, but we would like to let guests know that an earlier reservation is often easier to get and offers the addition of the spectacular view and sunset. A nice feature on the Dream and Fantasy is the option to dine outside on Palo’s private teak deck.

Because your server does not follow you to this restaurant, a $40 cover charge per person is applied. In addition to dinner, Palo brunch is served at Palo on days at sea.

Dress code: Guests are asked to “preserve the ambiance” of this fine dining venue. Dress pants, slacks, and collared shirts are recommended for men, and a dress, skirt, or pants and a blouse are recommended for women. Jeans may also be worn if in good condition (no holes). No tank tops, swimsuits, cover-ups, shorts, hats, cut-offs, torn clothing, t-shirts with offensive language and/or graphics, flip-flops, or tennis shoes are allowed.

REMY

Disney Dream Cruise Ship   DCL Fan

This adults-only premier dining location is on the Disney Dream and Fantasy. The French-inspired restaurant, named Remy after the star of the hit film Ratatouille, uses seasonal ingredients worldwide.

Guests may only book ONE dinner at Remy in advance. However, if they make an online reservation for a Remy Dinner for the first night of their Disney cruise, they may also reserve a second Palo and/or Remy on one other night.

Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin two-star restaurant in France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from Walt Disney World’s signature restaurant Victoria & Albert’s have teamed up to create the new menu. Dinner starts with a signature chilled Champagne cocktail and features eight or nine small courses. Remy has ocean views from its top deck location and is decorated in Art Nouveau style. Images of the character Remy are hidden throughout the design. This meal has a $125 fee, plus an additional charge if you want wine pairings with your meal. Brunch is $75 per person.

Dress code at Remy on all cruises:

  • For men, a tuxedo or jacket (sports or suit jacket) is required with dress pants. Ties are optional.
  • A cocktail dress, pantsuit, or skirt/blouse is required for women.
  • Please, no jeans, shorts, capri pants, flip-flops, or tennis shoes

CABANAS

Cabanas is a Casual Dining restaurant that serves fresh food favorites. You can eat indoors or outdoors on the pool deck. Cabanas is a buffet that serves a few made-to-order food choices for breakfast and lunch. At dinner, the restaurant becomes a table-service dining room serving Main Dining specialties. Cabanas is most easily accessible from the Aft elevators.

DISNEY DREAM KIDS CLUBS

The “it’s a small world” nursery, based on the theme park attraction, is the perfect place for your little ones to play while you enjoy a grownups’ night out.

The Oceaneer Club, one of the areas for children aged 3-12, has 4 separate areas that are themed as an Andy’s Room (from Toy Story), the Disney Infinity Game Room, Pixie Hollow, and Star Wars: Millennium Falcon.

One play area is themed around the Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars films. Kids will join the Rebel Alliance and help pilot the ship from the cockpit. They can go through hyperspace and jump to different points around the galaxy. There are also Star Wars Rebels gaming stations, themed crafts, games, activities, and showings of Star Wars Rebels on a large screen.

The Oceaneer Lab will take kids (ages 3-12) on a great adventure full of maps, constellations, and a stage for their greatest performances! This stage is one of the main gathering spaces in the Lab—perfect for kids to listen to stories and act out their own. Individual computer stations will allow them to enjoy interactive games.

Disney Dream Cruise Ship   DCL Fan

Disney movies will be shown on the 103-inch plasma TV; animated characters will come to life on this screen and interact with the kids. The main room begins a ship-wide adventure where kids will become explorers and hunt for clues. The Club and Lab are connected with a secure, kids-only hallway, so children can freely go between the two areas.

Edge

This interactive play space becomes teens ‘ favorite on-ship destination, equipped with high-tech entertainment, including flat-screen TVs, computers, and video games featuring daily guided activities.

Vibe
