The Disney Dream is a beautiful ship with lots to do and see. We went on a four night cruise which was perfect for us after spending a week in Orlando visiting the Disney Parks for 5 of our 7 days there.
My wife and I went with our 3 and a half year old daughter who loves all things princess and a 7 month old. My parents who are in the early 60's joined us as well.
Getting on the ship was a breeze. Everyone was very helpful getting our bags out of our van and the lineup moved very quickly for getting our boarding pass. We probably spent 30 minutes from parking the van to getting onto the ship and it would have been sooner if my wife didn't stop to breastfeed our baby. We got to the port around 11am and were on the ship before Noon.
Verandah was great and would never book another cruise without having one. We had great views all the time and it was nice to sit out there and have a drink with my wife and my parents who had the adjoining verandah. It made our room feel bigger having access to the outside. My 3 year old loved it too. There was enough room for her to play with some toys while enjoying the fresh air. She also liked looking at the stars at night time.
