The Disney Dream, the Newest Mickey Ship To Come

The upcoming new Disney ship, the Disney Dream, began construction in Papenberg, Germany’s Mayer Werft shipyard on March 2009.  The ship is due for delivery to Disney in early 2011.  There has been much anticipation and excitement for this ship in the past months with press releases, videos, and more.  The Disney Dream will have many of the same inspired themes, ideas, and touches like the other ships.  For example we do know that in the lobby atrium there will be a bronze statue of Admiral Donald (Duck).  The Disney Dream will encompass 14 decks, be an 1,115 feet long, 128,000-ton vessel with 1,250 staterooms which can accomodate up to 4,000 guests.  Additionally, this ship will have the first water coaster at sea called the AquaDuck.  Look for more updates in the year to come.

Additionally, Disney’s private island “Castaway Cay” will be expanding.  See the video below for more information.

Lastly, but most certainly not the least, Disney will be sailing to ALASKA!   Disney will be sailing to Alaska starting in April of 2011 through September 2011, and will make stops to Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm, and Ketchikan.  Additionally, it will be sailing along the west coast to San Francisco, California and to Victoria and Vancouver, Canada.

The news doesn’t stop there.  Disney is going to be adding another ship, the Disney Fantasy, as well.  I look forward to hearing more about it as time unfolds.  Disney has exciting days ahead.
