My family and I sailed on the Disney Dream for a 3 Night sailing in November. It took me a bit to consider this review as I wanted time to reflect and not be too critical on the sailing. Our family loves Disney! After much pleading with my husband who did not want to spend the fee Disney was charging, he gave in. We where also celebrating some special occasions. So on to the review:

We arrived at the port via Disney Cruise Line Express. We spent a few days at Disney World to check out the new Fantasyland. Transport was smooth and easy and the port terminal was bright and cheerful. The Cast Member was excellent checking and and very friendly. We walk through the large Mickey Ears and our family name was announced and staff cheered (nice touch). Walking on to the ship, we have to say it was beautiful! Since we boarded fairly early we decided to hit Cabanas for a light lunch. As we continued to walk you notice the Disney touches very quickly. Another plus is the complimentary soda (on many other cruise lines you pay extra for this). Lunch was buffet style and good selections. We were please all around with Cabanas.

We were then allow to enter our room. Upon first impression we were impressed with the design, large stateroom and storage. I do like how Disney separates the bathrooms. Our verandah (balcony) was over-sized but still a bit small to us. We did also notice a mist of water and assumed this would go away after we sailed away. We had a sofa sleep for our child and thought the position of the sofa was different for other liners we had been on (more on that later). We also smelled a funny smell from the toilet area. We are not big complainers, I assumed this would go away when sailing. Now to the cons of the room: The mist we experienced, did not go away. It was present the entire sailing and we did not take advantage of sitting on our verandah much. Don't know if the Aqua Duck had a role in this. On day two of our sailing the toilet overflowed and a panel outside our door had to be replaced. Once replaced, the smell was gone. I will say Disney fixed very quickly but was suprised this would happen with a ship that was less than a year old.
