==History and Construction==
In February 2007, Disney Cruise Line announced that it had commissioned two new ships for its fleet. The first steel-cut, for scrollwork on the ship's hull, took place in March 2009 at the Meyer Werft shipyards in Papenburg, Germany. Later that month, the two ships were named, with the Disney Dream set to enter service first, followed by its sister vessel, the Disney Fantasy. The design of the Disney Dream was unveiled at a press conference in New York City, on October 29, 2009
The keel of Disney Dream was laid on August 19, 2009. On June 1, 2010 the final section of the ship, the bow, was put into its place, completing the exterior, with work continuing on the interior of the ship. Float-out took place on October 30, 2010 and Disney Dream had her maiden voyage on January 26, 2011.
Disney Cruise Line took possession of the Disney Dream on December 8, 2010. She arrived in Port Canaveral, Florida on January 4, 2011. Disney Dream was christened on January 26, 2011 by Jennifer Hudson, who began her career as an entertainer on the Disney Wonder. Disney Dream's maiden voyage began on January 26, 2011, calling on Nassau, The Bahamas and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay. As of January 2012[update], Disney Dream is the 10th Largest Cruise Ship in the World, and the third longest cruise ship in the world.
==Recreation==
Activities aboard Disney Dream include: a 9 hole mini-golf course, a walking track, digital sports simulators, a full-sized basketball court that can be converted for use as a soccer pitch, volleyball court, or football/table tennis area. There are also two smaller sport courts and two hangouts for younger children.
The ship features the first water coaster at sea, called "The AquaDuck", a 765-foot long winding waterslide with a four-deck drop and a course that winds 13 feet over the edge of the ship and through the ship's forward funnel. The AquaDuck runs the width of the ship and the length between the funnels, almost the size of a U.S. football field. Other water activities include a Mickey's Slide and 3 pools. All pools contain fresh water. The adult-only, Quiet Cove Pool, includes a series of connecting pools with depths ranging from 4 ft to 6 inch sun-bathing pools with a bar at the end of the 6 inch "pool". There are also hot tubs for adults & families, some of which have glass in the floor.
There is a 24 x 14 ft LED screen facing Donald's Pool, attached to the forward funnel.
==Entertainment==
The Disney Dream also includes two theatres, one is the Walt Disney's Theatre and the other is Buena Vista Theatre, for enterainment everynight premeres a new show and shows movies premiering in theatres.

*Villain's Tonight!
*Disney's Believe
==Rotational Dining==
The Disney Dream has multiple dining venues, including three themed, main dining restaurants, two adult-only specialty restaurants, a buffet, and multiple bars, lounges, and quick service stations.
Every night of a Disney Dream cruise, guests use a different restaurant. This is called "rotational dining". On a Disney ship guests rotate along with their servers which helps keep the relationship between diner and wait staff.
Animator's Palate, a main dining restaurant, is inspired by Disney animation. Enchanted Garden is the second main dining restaurant, inspired by the gardens of Versailles. Royal Palace is inspired by classic films like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella.
There are two adult-only specialty restaurants on the Disney Dream, Palo and Remy. Palo, like on other Disney ships, serves a Northern Italian cuisine. Remy, inspired by Disney's Ratatouille, serves French-inspired cuisine. A lounge, Meridian, is a place for adults to go before or after their dinner. The name Meridian plays off its location between Remy and Palo.
