Fun Facts:

• The Disney Dream’s horn, a prominent element of the “Sailing Away” deck party at the start of the cruise, is quite the musical talent.  It’s able to perform not just the first musical line of “When You Wish Upon a Star” but also the second line of the song (“makes no difference who you are”) PLUS several measures of “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me),” “It’s a Small World,” “Be Our Guest,” “Hi Diddle Dee Dee (An Actor’s Life for Me)” and – most appropriately – “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.”

• The Sorcerer Mickey Mouse on the Dream’s stern is about 14 feet long.  Constructed of stainless steel and fiberglass, it weighs approximately 2,500 pounds.  The “ornament” was sculpted at Walt Disney Imagineering in California, structurally designed by engineers at Disney Cruise Line and Meyer Werft in Germany, manufactured in Sarasota, Fla., finish-painted in Orlando, and then transported by ship to Germany for final installation on the Disney Dream.  From sculpture to the stern of Disney Dream was a journey of about 15,000 miles for Mickey Mouse.

• Looking upward in the ship’s atrium lobby brings guests eye-to-crystal with a glowing piece of “art deco jewelry” – a stunning chandelier sparkling with thousands of crystal beads and glowing with colorful glasswork.  Crafted in Brixen, located in Northern Italy, the chandelier is 22 feet diameter at the ceiling plate and comes down 13 feet from the ceiling.  It is 24kt gold plated with a total of 88,680 Swarovski crystal beads ranging in size from 6mm to 12mm.

• The atrium lobby of Disney Dream also can be a showplace.  Normally hidden by friezes and other architectural adornments are the lighting and audio necessary for a Dream deck party – making the lobby “plan B” if Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate with the onboard schedule of fun.

• A “light point” is shipbuilders’ lingo for “anything that’s a light.”  There are approximately 80,000 light points on Disney Dream – “double the normal number for a ship this size,” according to Meyer Werft, the shipyard in Germany where Disney Dream was built.  The large number is the result of Disney’s flare for theatrical experiences – accomplished primarily with LEDs and other “environmentally friendly” lighting.

• AquaDuck water coaster evolved from the idea of having a “lazy river” experience on the perimeter of the main “sundeck.”  The Imagineers opted for an elevated experience in order to maximize space on the deck.  Once they started thinking vertically, they realized a water coaster was a possibility.

• Two huge mosaic walls based on the Disney•Pixar animated feature “Finding Nemo” are showcased in Cabanas casual-dining restaurant on Deck 11.  Created for Disney Dream by Italian artists, each wall is more than 25 feet wide and more than 8 feet high and contains approximately 194,500 tiles in 200 colors of hand-crafted Venetian enamel.  A team of nine artists created the mosaics based on Pixar designs depicting the underwater world of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and characters featured in the motion picture.
