    5. Indulge everyone’s sweet tooth at Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats

    Know Your Dream


    All the 1,250 staterooms on Disney Dream have contemporary amenities, offer ample space, and compete favorably with the standards of elegance that yacht decors can afford. A good number of them have split bathrooms; a first for a cruise ship and an indication of Disney Cruise Line’s constant efforts to make family cruises memorably wonderful.

    Take a Disney Dream Cruise

    Dining and entertainment aboard Disney Dream is created to offer not only diversity but also pleasant tastes deeply thought out to offer everyone a delightful experience. The nightclubs and lounges strive to provide the best as well, while the pools offer a nice way to while away the day.
