MEET DISNEY DREAM

A larger Art Deco ship with AquaDuck, two adults-only dining rooms and Beauty and the Beast on stage.

Disney Dream adds more space and more choices without abandoning Disney's rotational-dining and age-specific-club model. Its most recognizable features are AquaDuck, the Admiral Donald atrium statue and Beauty and the Beast.
