2011 Disney Cruise Planning

The Disney Dream Cruise Ship Makes Her First Public Appearance in Papenburg, GermanyWe're planning something very different for 2011 - A Disney Cruise!!!   We'll be taking the brand new Disney Dream for a four night cruise to the Bahama's, including Disney's private island, Castaway Cay (pronounced "key).  We'll then return to Disney World for two nights at the Disney Port Orleans Riverside resort.

The Disney Dream  was just launched on November 1st, and currently undergoing sea trials. Its maiden voyage will be in late January.

The most exciting feature about the Dream is the massive water coaster.  It extends some 750 feet around the ship, including extending over the ocean, 150 feet below (about 15 stories).  Its made of acrylic, so you have a complete view.  There is a terrific video of on the Aqua-Duck blog

The ship is gorgeous if the pictures and video's are any judge.  Everything is done in such great detail and in the incredible Disney style.  Reviews from people who have taken other Disney cruise's are very positive, and we're really excited about this adventure. See the Disney Dream blog for some great pictures and videos.

Who's Coming

There are 8 people coming on the trip.  All are welcome.

  • Mark, Jeanne, Ty (3)
  • The Dave Phillips Family (5)

Park Itinerary

Unlike recent trips, we won't be doing the Disney meal plan in 2011.  With only two days in the park, we want to spend more time with the attractions and will just do counter service meals.  We're getting Park Hopper tickets, and plan to keep the two days very flexible
