The new ships-new names and new title of the blog

Hi everyone-

Well it is finally official, this week Bob Iger announced the names of the new ships....

The Disney Dream, which will sail in 2011 and the Disney Fantasy, which will sail in 2012.

So now that Dreams and Fantasy have been added to some Magic and Wonder my blog has a new name....=)

I guessed that Dream would be the name of one of the ships and I figured it would either be Fantasy or Wish for the next ship. Fantasy it is, who wants to bet the next ships DCL builds one will be called the Wish.

The Wonder sets sail

I finally got some time off and headed to the beach on Sunday 3/8 for some fun and sun.

Beautiful 81 degree day at Port Canaverals Jetty Park beach. Spent the day, but we all know the real reason I was there....to see the Disney Wonder set sail.

So around 5:15 pm I heard When You Wish Upon A Star behind me and as I turned around...there she was the glorious Disney Wonder. Just voted the number 1 large cruise ship by Conde Naste Traveller.

I was so jealous of everyone waving at us from the ship, I wanted to be in their spot. Oh well in 6 weeks I will be...=)

The Beginning of the......Dream?? Wish?? Fantasy??

Greetings everyone-

I can't believe I missed posting this to the blog during the week. Work continues to be so crazy I can never post on here anymore.

But an exciting thing happened this week.

The first piece of steel was cut for the brand new Disney Ship at the Meyer-Werft Shipyward in Germany.

And regardless of what it will be called...The Disney Dream?? Disney Wish?? Disney Fantasy??

This was a history making week as we have all been waiting for the start of construction on these 2 new glorious ships.

2011 isn't really that far off when the first ship comes home to Florida. I am already planning on being at the channel opening in Port Canaveral to catch the first glimpse of the new Disney ship. A day we fans of Disney Cruise Line have been waiting for years and years.

Mickey was there to see the first steel cut for his new ship.

What the final product should look like....128,000 tons....50% larger than the Magic and Wonder. 30 feet wider, 150 feet longer and 2 decks taller. It will be a glorious new ship, that I'm going to bet is called the Disney Dream.
