Previous cruise experience: Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas February 2011.
We sailed out of Port Canaveral on a three night Bahamian cruise on the Disney Dream. Knowing Disney's standards are high, we had very high expectations, probably to high in fact as we were disappointed in some areas.
We traveled with another family from work. My family included myself, my wife and 13 month old son. The other family had a four year old son.
Great location on the ship. Deck 7 is not to high or low on the ship and located between the forward and midship elevators/stairs. Plenty of space for a family of three or four. Split bathrooms and balcony are definitely positives. Bring a power strip.
