Today's the Day - Disney Dream Announcement! (Updated)

I know there are now a few pictures floating around from D23 but hopefully by this afternoon we'll have a lot more!

I am heading into the city shortly and will let you know what that was like. I most likely will have nothing "newsworthy" as I am sure you'll all be seeing the live feed.

Sandy

I'll be interested to see what the announcement is, but whatever it is, I'm just happy to already be booked for 2011 and Alaska.

Does anyone have any Dream booking info? I can't seem to view the "live" announcement info and do not see anything on the website. Are they staggering the booking, as before with the Platinum, etc,??

ok....I am finally back and it was awesome. Here is a quick overview (I haven't had time to read the other threads...sorry if it is duplicative). I'll upload photos in the am

- There are 1250 stateroom and 500 of them are connecting! (no new categories but everything is a letter now not a number) Balcony connecting rooms will be able to "adjoin balconies"
- The beds are higher to EASILY allow for large luggage underneath
- Rooms with pull down beds now have special ceilings (blue above the bed with stars) so those on the top bunk can "wish upon a star" as they go to sleep
- inside rooms have "virtual porthole" with a live camera feed but it also occassionally adds in Disney graphics (ie Steamboat Willie and Nemo Characters)
- many balcony rooms now have large round soaking tub

- new dining rooms look awesome, love the Enchanted Garden with special effects
- new makeover to Animators including "Mickey chairs" and great new dishes

- Aquaduct looks cool and scary. It will go by the tween club with a quick peek inside!

- Kids Clubs.....wow, I want to go back in time. They are awesome including a new tween club for 11 and 12 year olds.

- new theater show, a villian night!

I promise...pictures to follow, ask away with any questions.
