Just back from the Dream Announcement!

I just returned home from the Dream Announcement. I promise to post pictures shortly! Disney always puts on such amazing events. I don't think I have anything new to tell you since they did the live webcast at the same time but if anyone has any questions- please let me know and I would be happy to try to answer them.

One thing I did learn that surprised me-- all the beds will be queen beds. (Not including the couch and pull down). They will not be able to be split into 2. They said less than 1% of people request them seperated.

The Virtual porthole is VERY cool. They had a sample one and we were able to see it. Peach (the starfish from Nemo) and Scuttle will make appearances.

Also- the ship will have "enchanted art" through out. From far away the pictures will look stationary but as you get closer they will move. They had a sample of this as well. Very neat.

I am uploading pictures now and should have them up shortly!

Okay- here we go. Some of the pictures didn't come out very well- but I figured I would post them anyway.

Some pictures of the scale model:












Buena Vista Theatre Colors:


Walt Disney Theatre Colors:


They expect to use both theatres for live shows.

Villans Tonight- One of the new shows





Enchanted Garden Plates:


Royal Palace Colors and Plates:




I got to meet Goofy!


AquaDuck




Turtle Talk with Crush will be on the ship! We got to "talk" with him during the event.


Staterooms:
Beds are high enough to accomodate suitcases.






There will be 4 cameras (2 on the port side and 2 on the starboard side) that will send live feeds to the virtual portholes.

Thanks, Marisa! It looks beautiful. I was afraid the increased size would give the new ships a different, grander, less comfortable feel, but that does not seem to be the case. Just like the Magic and Wonder, they seem to be elegant and fun and have a luxurious but comfortable feel.

After moving through all of this, I haven't seen one question answered (and I don't know if there IS an answer yet). If I did a future booking for the new ship while on my upcoming cruise, does the 10% discount and the shipboard credit still apply? How about the reduced deposit?
