Disney World Travel

Disney Cruise Vacation announced on February 22, 2007 that two new ships are to be added in 2011 and 2012. The ships are being built by Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany; the first steel cut, made in March 2009, was for a portion of the scrollwork that will decorate the exterior of the vessels.

Later that same month, the ships were officially named: Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. They will be 330 m (1,100 ft) long and 37 m (120 ft) wide. These newest 128,000-ton ships will be 2 decks taller than the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder and will have 1,250 staterooms each.

Disney Cruise Vacation has negotiated with the Port Canaveral port authority and has extended their contract for 15 more years, through 2022 at least. As part of this contract the port authority will expand and upgrade the dock in order to accommodate the new ships (both of which will be home-ported there) and the terminal will be enlarged to accommodate more passengers and luggage and finally a parking garage will be built and completed by 2011.

Disney announced the names of the new ships on March 10, 2009. Both are planned to depart from Port Canaveral beginning in 2011 until at least 2014.

Features Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy will be basically identical to the Disney Dream, with a design 128,000 GT (gross tonnage), a length of 330 meters and a width of 37 meters. The Fantasy will have 1,250 staterooms. Additional features, such as on-board services and amenities, have not been announced.

Initially, the Disney Fantasy will be based at Disney Cruise Line’s terminal at Port Canaveral, Florida. Although no ship-specific itinerary plans have been announced, it is expected that the Fantasy will call on Disney’s private Castaway Cay during cruise itineraries in the Caribbean Sea.

Features Disney Dream

The Disney Dream will be a much larger ship than its two older fleet-mates, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, with a design gross tonnage (GT) of 128,000 tons, a length of 330 meters and a width of 37 meters. The Dream will have 1,250 staterooms. Additional features, such as on-board services and amenities, have not been announced.

Initially, the Disney Dream will be based at Disney Cruise Line’s terminal at Port Canaveral, Florida. The terminal will be expanded to handle the increased traffic, with completion also scheduled for 2011. Although no ship-specific itinerary plans have been announced, it is expected that the Dream will call on Disney’s private Castaway Cay during cruise itineraries in the Caribbean Sea.
