The Disney Dream Staterooms: What to Expect

Posted on Published: 08/16/2024

Before I went on my first cruise, I had always thought that cruise staterooms were tiny. While they are definitely smaller than most traditional hotel rooms, my family of four can always manage okay in one stateroom—even when on board for seven days. I have found the Disney Cruise Line staterooms fairly generous, with lots of storage space.

If you are headed on the Disney Dream (or its sister ship, the Disney Fantasy ), here’s some information about the Disney Dream staterooms.

All About The Disney Dream Staterooms

Disney dream stateroom categories.

With letters and numbers, it can be confusing to decipher the various categories on the Disney Cruise Line. Categories are dependent on quite a few things – the location of the stateroom, the size of the stateroom, and the verandah type (obstructed view, standard, etc).

Several different stateroom types include Deluxe Stateroom with Verandah, Deluxe Family Stateroom with Verandah, Inside Stateroom (Standard and Deluxe), Oceanview Stateroom, and Concierge Rooms. (These are the same room types as the Disney Fantasy ).

While we don’t spend too much time in the room, I prefer to get a stateroom with a verandah. Having that extra space is nice, and I love sitting outside at various times during the day. Concierge rooms are a splurge but come with some great benefits.

Pulled out Murphy bed on the Disney Dream

For those who have five in their family or who prefer a bit more space, the Disney Dream offers slightly larger family staterooms that offer a pull-out Murphy bed in addition to the bunk beds. In the photo above, you’ll see what the Murphy bed looks like when it is open.

It’s a single-wall pull-down bed that opens in front of the verandah door. This is called a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, but you’ll want to make sure the room you book includes it.

Many ask me, “What is the best deck location for a Disney Dream stateroom?”. I find that it depends.

While we enjoyed a room on the 10th deck because it was just one staircase away from Cabanas and the pool deck activities, it was more decks away from the lower-level activities, like the Oceaneer Club/Lab and Walt Disney World Theater. Higher decks may have better views, but ultimately, we try to choose a broader room category and don’t worry as much about the deck level.

However, I prefer midship because that’s the most central location. However, I’ve also had forward and aft rooms, and walking from one end of the ship to another isn’t a big deal. 

Depending on the size of your party, you may also choose to book adjoining staterooms. In addition to an adjoining door in the rooms, you can ask your stateroom attendant to open up your verandahs (if your room includes them).

When I travel with my friends, we get adjoining rooms, open the verandahs, and spend a lot of time outside. You can see how this looks in the photo at the very top of this page.

Disney Dream Stateroom Amenities

A Disney Dream stateroom contains plenty of space for your family’s belongings for a week. We typically store our clothes in the drawers, shelves, and closets and then put our empty suitcases under the bed. You’ll also find a large chest that can be used as a coffee table and also opens to store items. There’s a small refrigerator, a hairdryer, a television, and a regular phone.

Bunk beds on the Disney Dream

If your room includes bunk beds, your stateroom attendant will open them up in the evenings. Typically, the attendant will talk to you when you arrive and find out if you’ll need this.

My kids used to fight over the top bunk, but now that they are older, they fight over the bottom. If you only travel with one child, they can just use the bottom bed. When the stateroom attendant cleans the room during the day, they will put the upper berth of the bunk bed back up until the evening.

Sink and toilet

Bathrooms in the Disney Dream staterooms are split into two sections (in most cases – some rooms don’t offer this split bathroom). The first one, closest to the external door, includes the toilet and a small sink. There are also a few shelves that can be used to store toiletries.

Bathtub

Adjacent to that is a small room with a shower and another sink. That one also has some small shelves to hold toiletries. I love having the split bathroom because two people in our family can get ready simultaneously with a little maneuvering.

Booking a concierge room comes with some additional benefits, including the ability to book your activities earlier than most guests. This can be especially beneficial if you are looking for a cabana at Castaway Cay.

Other benefits include an onboard concierge, a private sundeck, a welcome reception, and priority tendering. The rooms also have additional luxurious touches, including down duvets, robes, and limited complimentary WiFi.

One negative to the rooms is the lack of adequate outlets. A few are scattered around the room, but with many devices and Apple Watches to recharge at night, it becomes a balancing act of plugging and unplugging things. Power strips aren’t allowed, so you have to get creative. On our last cruise, I noticed that the alarm clock had two USB outlets, which we used.

The Best Staterooms in Each of the 10 Categories on a Disney Cruise in 2022

There are a lot of stateroom choices on a  Disney Cruise !  You may think there should be three simple choices:  inside, oceanview, or verandah – but it’s nowhere near that cut and dry.  Each of those three stateroom types has several different classifications of staterooms!  Disney has thirty-one various categories of staterooms.

Beginning in 2022, some of the categories have new names, and some staterooms have been recategorized.  Disney is standardizing everything in anticipation of their third class of ships – the Triton Class, which kicks off in 2022 with the Disney Wish!  In fact, hopefully soon I will write another new blog post, with stateroom recommendations for the Wish!

disney dream stateroom tour

A few of the same ground rules and guidelines first:

– I’m not going to recommend accessible staterooms.  If you need an accessible stateroom, there are options in almost every category.  If you don’t need one, pick something else.

– If you don’t need a connecting stateroom, try to avoid them.  I have stayed in a few different staterooms with a connecting door and we could hear the guests on the other side almost as if they were in our stateroom.

– While I will give some specific stateroom numbers in some cases, in other cases I’ll just give general guidance.  It’s always good planning to check a review of the particular stateroom you have in mind.  There are some staterooms out there that have noise or vibration issues.  There are also some right above the theaters or the nightclubs.  You probably want to avoid those.

– To find stateroom reviews, use Google or check a site like Disney Cruise Line Blog.  Scott Sanders has a  good list of reviews  going over there.  A quick search may save you some headaches on board!

– Finally, the staterooms on the  Dream  and  Fantasy  will be the same, so I will address those staterooms as the Dream Class.  Similarly, the  Magic  and  Wonder  have the same types of staterooms, so I will address them as the Magic Class.

With the recategorization, all categories are now broken down further with letters like A, B, C, D and E. The letters generally distinguish where on the ship the staterooms are located, with the letter A being the typically most desired location – mid-ship and/or on a higher deck.

1. Concierge Suites –

Category 1A – Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah (Formerly Category R) – Recognizing that a Royal Suite is out of reach for most mere mortals, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge they are the best staterooms on the ship.  There is no room for debate, people.  Whether we are talking Dream or Magic Class, these are the best staterooms on the ship and there are no bad options in this category.  I’m a fan of starboard side for the Magic Class if I had to pick one.  The Royal Suites on the Magic Class sleep 7 and aren’t quite as open and airy as the Dream Class which sleep 5, but all are amazing.  For the Dream Class, the two suites are different.  The Roy O. Disney Suite (12502) is starboard, and the Walter E. Disney Suite (12002) is port side.  The living areas are almost identical, but the bedroom and bathroom layouts are different.  In the Roy, the bedroom is on the exterior of the suite, and the master bathroom is on the interior, so the bedroom has beautiful windows and light.  In the Walt, the master bathroom is on the exterior and gets all that beautiful light, while the bedroom is more interior.  There are benefits to both, and it’s really a personal preference.  I preferred the Walt, but certainly would not have been sad in either one!

disney dream stateroom tour

Category 1B – Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite with Verandah (Formerly Category S) – There are only two 2-bedroom suites, and they are found only on the Magic Class.  The only difference between them is starboard (right) or port (left) side. I’d give a slight edge to the starboard side of the ship if you are sailing to Castaway Cay because I love those island views when docked for your day in paradise.

Category 2A or 2B –  1-Bedroom Suite (2A or 2B) with Verandah (Formerly Category T) – On the Dream Class, there is only one 2A, and it’s spectacular.  It’s stateroom 12000, and it’s located between the two Royal Suites forward on the ship.  This room has a huge verandah, and stunning views.  This room is often held back during the initial release to see if either of the Royal Suite occupants would like to add it on (it’s connected to both via a hallway of sorts), but it will pop into inventory regularly.  You (or your travel agent) just need to keep an eye out!  The 2Bs on the Dream Class are also amazing, and there are 6 with oversized verandahs.  They’re located on a bumpout of the ship and the verandahs are huge!  They are staterooms 12006, 12012, 12506, 12512, 11006, and 11002.  For the absolute best view of Castaway Cay, book 12512.  On the Dream Class, I also slightly prefer the concierge staterooms on deck 12, over deck 11, because they have easier access to the concierge lounge and sundeck.  On the Magic Class, I’d recommend the 2As.  These four staterooms have a slightly different layout which puts the twin pull-down bed in the living room instead of in the master bedroom like the 2Bs.  I greatly prefer the master bedroom to have its own closed-off space, especially when you’re putting children to bed early.

disney dream stateroom tour

2. Category 3A – Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Formerly Category V) –Category 3A staterooms are essentially category 4 staterooms with concierge soft goods and concierge service.  On the Magic Class, I still prefer starboard side if visiting Castaway Cay.  On the Dream Class, I have the same starboard answer, while also recommending one of the staterooms on the bumpout.  Those are 12008, 12010, 12508, 12510, and 11004.  If you are traveling with the party in stateroom 12512, definitely book 12510 to open the verandah partition in between the two staterooms for a super-sized-amazing-Castaway-Cay-views-of-glory stateroom combination.  BTW, that is an official term.

disney dream stateroom tour

3. Category 4 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – Category 4 staterooms are the biggest non-concierge staterooms on the ships. The word “Family” in the title means the stateroom is slightly longer and sleeps up to five.  On the Dream Class, it also means they have a round bathtub instead of the standard rectangular one found in most staterooms.  4Es on the Dream Class are a notable exception to those rules.  4Es on the Dream Class only sleep four, and are the same size as category 5 staterooms, not the extended family size, nor do they have the round tubs.  They do, however, have GIANT verandahs.  For 2022, Disney reclassified most of the 5E staterooms as category 4E. That actually makes sense.  Those 5Es were just like the 4Es, they were just on the far aft (back) of the ship.  So now my favorite 4Es would be those that are located aft because of the great views.  Some of the rooms on the corners have even bigger verandahs!  4Es on the Magic Class follow the rules of the other 4s – the stateroom sleeps up to 5 and their verandahs are not giant.  Their verandahs do have a solid white metal wall instead of clear Plexiglas below the railing.  I’d avoid 4Es on the Magic Class for that reason, while I’d certainly do 4Es on the Dream Class for those ginormous verandahs.  Disney reclassified many category 4 rooms for 2022, eliminating 4D, recategorizing some of those as 4C, and some 4Cs became 4Bs.

disney dream stateroom tour

4. Category 5 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – Category 5 is my go-to stateroom. They are all standard-size staterooms with unobstructed verandahs. Disney reclassified several of them, recategorizing most 5Es to 4Es as discussed above, and eliminating 5Ds.  Some 5Ds are now 5Cs, some 5Cs are now 5Bs.  I avoid deck 10 on the Dream Class as a general rule (there are some pool deck noise issues in some rooms on deck 10), but otherwise I like all of the category 5s!

5. Category 6 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Undersized, Obstructed View, or White Wall) – Category 6 staterooms are like category 5 staterooms, but they all have either an undersized, obstructed, or white wall verandah. Some of these differences are minor, so if you want to save a little from a category 5, category 6 may be for you. On the Dream Class, some of the 6Bs are on the aft of the ship, so those would be my choice because of the great views!  Category 6 staterooms on deck six have slightly larger verandahs on Magic Class, so I’d recommend those!  5650 and 5150 also have giant verandahs on the Magic Class!

disney dream stateroom tour

6. Category 7 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah – There is a significant difference between the Dream and Magic Class category 7s. A Navigator’s verandah on the Magic Class is a mostly enclosed verandah, with a large circular or oval window-type opening cut out for viewing purposes. On the Dream Class, it’s just a slightly obstructed view from the verandah.  These are slightly more obstructed than the category 6s, thus the category 7 designation.  There are two on the aft (5188 and 5688) that have small verandahs, but great views!  On the Magic Class, there are four that are not fully enclosed.  I’d pick one of those!  They are staterooms 6134, 6634, 7120, and 7620.

7. Category 8 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom – Starting with category 8s, these staterooms no longer have a verandah. There are no category 8s on the Magic Class, only the Dream Class.  Once again, the word “Family” means they are bigger staterooms that sleep up to 5 and have round tubs. They also have very large portholes with seating!  The exceptions are 8As.  And what an exception they are!  8As are almost like suites with two large portholes with lots of space, and many have a divider of some kind between the bed and seating area.  I’d wholeheartedly recommend any of the 8As!  Not all have bathtubs, and some are more divided than others, so do your research before picking which one works for you.  Disney recategorized the 8Ds for 2022, and now 8Ds are 8Cs, while 8Cs are 8Bs.

disney dream stateroom tour

8. Category 9 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom – Category 9s are your standard oceanview staterooms. Read – no verandahs.  On the Magic Class, I’d recommend avoiding deck 1 if staying in a category 9.  Deck 1 is a short deck with no access to the aft elevators.  The oceanview staterooms on deck 1 also have two small portholes instead of one larger porthole which greatly limits your view in my opinion.  The 9C staterooms that are all the way forward, like 2504 or 2510, also have a little bit more space due to the curvature of the ship!  On the Dream Class, we loved the 9Bs on deck 2 outside  Enchanted Garden .  It was an incredibly convenient location.  The Dream Class also has some large corner staterooms that are 9Ds.  They are 7006, 7504, 8006, and 8504.  You may also like the 9Cs and 9Ds that are forward with views of where the ship is headed.  The portholes are slanted with slightly obstructed views, but neat views all the same.

disney dream stateroom tour

9. Category 10 – Deluxe Inside Stateroom – Category 10 inside staterooms are basically the same size and setup as category 9s, but they have no outside views. On the Dream Class, however, they do have virtual portholes, which gives a view (via camera) of what is happening outside (with some occasional Disney magic thrown in). The Magic Class has its own exciting unnamed category here – secret porthole staterooms!  That’s right, some of these inside staterooms actually have a window!  Disney did not classify them as oceanview staterooms because those window views are obstructed, some more than others.  If you want some natural light for the price of an inside stateroom, these are the staterooms for you.  Book 5020, 5022, 5024, 5520, 5522, or 5524 on the Magic Class.  Warning, these staterooms are more popular than a Dole Whip on sweltering day in Orlando, so book early!

10. Category 11 – Standard Inside Stateroom – Category 11 inside staterooms no longer carry the word “Deluxe” in the description and that’s mostly due to the bathroom. There are no split bathrooms in category 11 staterooms.  Split bathrooms are the standard in all the other categories, and they come with one bathroom with a toilet and sink, and one with a bathtub and sink.  While I highly recommend the split bath for families, there are some people who prefer having one larger bathroom as opposed to two smaller ones.  Additionally, on the Magic Class ships, there are some 11Bs with a “sideways” layout.  These staterooms are somewhat popular and feel a little roomier than the regular inside stateroom layouts.  Book one of those 18 staterooms for a unique experience.

That’s my breakdown!  Did I forget any that you can think of?  Do you have questions about any particular staterooms?  Just ask!

Disney Cruise Line Stateroom Categories Explained

IMG 1692 scaled

Front, back, top, bottom, left, right, somewhere in the middle? There are so many choices when choosing your stateroom (like a hotel room, but on water) on a Disney Cruise. No worries though, I explain all of the various categories and help you choose the best stateroom for your family’s magical vacation!

As of right now, there are 4 Disney ships in their fleet. The Dream and Fantasy are sister ships with the same layout and the Magic and Wonder are sister ships with the same layout. When selecting a cruise itinerary, you want to make sure you know which ship you will be sailing on because the stateroom categories are different.

There are 2 main things you have to consider when choosing a stateroom: what type of stateroom do you want (floor plan) and where on the ship do you want to be (category). The Dream and Fantasy have 9 floor plans and 28 room categories. The Magic & Wonder have 10 floor plans and 22 room categories. That’s a lot! I have broken it down into 4 easy steps to pick your perfect stateroom!

Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy Deck Plans

DCL Dream & Fantasy Deck Plans

Disney Magic and Disney Wonder Deck Plans

DCL Magic & Wonder deck plans

4 steps to choosing your stateroom:

Determine how many people are in your party. This decides what type of room you need. When you go online to look at availability, select the total number of adults and children (with their ages) the rooms will be filtered down to the ones that will fit your party size.

Dream & Fantasy: If you have 1, 2, 3, or 4 people in your party you have free access to all rooms and categories on the ship. If you have 5 people, you can choose from 5 floor plans on the ships. If you have more than 5 on the Dream & Fantasy you will need 2 staterooms.

Magic & Wonder: If you have 1, 2 or 3 people in your party you can choose between all room floor plans and categories on the ships. If you have 4 people you can choose from 9 floor plans. 5 people, you can choose between 5 floor plans and there are 2 floor plans that can sleep up to 7!

Choose 1 of 4 floor plans. Do you want a room with a view?

1.     Inside: no windows (however, the Fantasy and Dream have Magical Portholes; a LED TV screen over the bed with real-time views of outside)

DCL Magical Porthole

2.     Oceanview: Dream & Fantasy: 1 or 2 large portholes, Magic & Wonder: 1 large porthole or 2 smaller portholes

3.     Verandah: There are 3 types of verandahs (balconies):

  •  The  standard verandah  features an open-air balcony skirted by an acrylic wall, allowing for a full view of the horizon even while seated.
  • The  whitewall verandah  offers open-air lounging with a solid wall from the deck to the railing. Most of these staterooms are located in the back (aft) portion of the ship.
  • The  navigator’s verandah  is enclosed for greater privacy while still affording a stunning view and sea breezes through a large, open-air porthole above the railing.
  • Verandahs differ by size and style depending on the ship and stateroom type, and the view on some verandahs may be obstructed.
  • On connecting verandah staterooms, the partitions can be opened to create an even more spacious balcony.

Where on the ship do you want to be? Forward (front), midship, or aft (back)

DCL Ship locations

Do you get seasick? There are different theories to this, but generally, if you get sea sick you will want a stateroom with a verandah so you can breathe in fresh air or a room with a porthole. Focusing on the line where the sky meets the sea can help alleviate nausea. Also, having a stateroom in the middle of the ship helps with the rocking feeling.

Are you on a budget? The higher the deck the more expensive the stateroom is. Also, the closer you are to mid ship the more expensive the room is. You will also pay more to see the ocean. Inside staterooms with no windows on a lower deck either near the front (forward) or back (aft) are the least expensive.

Pick your room

DCL Pick your stateroom

In this step, you actually get to choose your specific room number. You can also select staterooms that adjoin if you are going with another stateroom. If the room connects, you will see an arrow next to the room number. The direction the arrow is going in is the room it connects to. You can still select one of these rooms even if you are not traveling with another party, you just don’t want to unlock the door 🙂

Do you want to be next to the elevators? The elevators midship are generally busier and therefore are louder, but on the other hand, you also have close access to the stairwell & elevators to get to other decks quickly.

When you have made your selection, you will be given a category #. For example, it will look like this: (Category 04E).

You’re done, celebrate!

But what does that number and letter mean?

If you want to dig in deeper to the room categories and find out what the number and letter means, you can keep on reading. I am giving you fair warning, there is a lot of information below.  For planning purposes, my suggestion is to print out the list below and make notes or cross off which ones do not fit your needs.

Disney magic stateroom reviews.

Room has porthole window about 3 ft radius but no seat. Only couch bed no pull down bunk. It’s awesome for our family of 3. Candle on the water from Pete’s Dragon movie poster above the couch. Split bathroom and well lit. Full length mirror by wall of bathroom.

First ever cruise and had a great stateroom. Everything was well kept, although at first we were confused by the dual 120/240v outlets, unsure of what voltage they were so had to ask. Only concern with outlets is that one 1 side of bed there is was only 1 elec outlet, so couldn’t put charger there and still use CPAP. So used elec plugs on the desk. Only really heard “ship noise” from in the bathroom but not super noticeable.

I would really just like to clarify the situation regarding electrical outlets, which I had trouble finding before our cruise. If one stands at the foot of the bed, on the right is a single American style outlet and a single European style outlet. On the left side of the bed is a single European style outlet, no American style outlet. So to plug in my CPAP on the right side of the bed required us to get an extension cord from Guest Services. The phone and CPAP took up all the room on the bedside table, so everything else had to be plugged in at the desk in order to charge, and one of the American style outlets didn't hold the plug securely. That is the reason for my Overall Rating of Very Good. We rarely heard Noise from next door and from the hallway. The Location, just aft of the midship elevators, meant we could reach any elevator bank pretty quickly. The only issue with Upkeep was the insecure electrical outlet mentioned above.

This room had a great location just past the Aft elevator and stairs. The porthole, even though obstructed was a great surprise with our GTY inside room. Room was spacious and well kept for the age. Only issues were the lights in the bathroom flickering when going on, the bathtub took forever to fill up, and the noise from the connecting stateroom was pretty loud, even though they were talking at a normal level. We could also hear the hallway ambient music at night. Overall I would stay in this room again, I would just bring earplugs.

This was an AMAZING ROOM. The verandah was larger than normal and has a more unique shape. It is a very private location at the aft and very little foot traffic.

Room and hallway very quiet, well maintained. Porthole showed some signs of wear and tear, though still a great room. Keep the porthole curtains closed at night otherwise that half of the room can be quite chilly in the morning. Overall, highly recommend!

The location of the room was perfect. It was very quick to walk to Cabana's or Palo, or any activity on the ship. Laundry room is about 30 seconds away. The room had a split bath and a decent size. Not as big as Family Deluxe bathrooms, but still useful. This room did not have a drop-down bed from the ceiling but had a large bed and sleeper sofa. We did have an odor in our bathroom and the host and Maintenace came in and took care of it asap.

Wonderful and convenient location to laundry, elevators, and upper decks for pool, entertainment, and lunch and breakfast buffet. No noise from laundry, elevators or entertainment areas. Beautiful veranda views. Bed was comfortable, split bath is convenient, enough storage for luggage, clothes, etc. Did not notice any extra movement or vibrations. Only inconvenience I could mention was there are no plugs near the bed. Only on the desk. Also, the provided hairdryer is weak and basically unusable. It should be replaced. Overall, an excellent experience and we would definitely book this room again.

Disney Wonder Stateroom Reviews

We stayed in this Navigator’s Verandah room on our Honeymoon to Alaska and let me tell you, it was one of the best staterooms we have ever stayed in. Exactly what you would expect from Disney Cruise Line. Only a few issues with upkeep: The Air Conditioning was not blowing cold the entire time. I know we were in Alaska, but I absolutely HAVE to have my room be refrigerator cold, and this A/C was just not doing it. The doors to both bathrooms struggled to open at first, but we figured a way around it by the second night. They also did not auto-close like expected. Lastly, the vanity/desk had a huge spot that appeared to be liquid or heat damaged. Other than that, the room was fantastic and clean.

I've sailed on all the Disney ships at this point, and this is by far probably my favorite stateroom I've had on any Disney ship. The location was incomparable, with it being located Forward on Deck 8. The foot traffic past the room is minimal as it's a hallway with a dead-end that only leads to secure access to the bridge. One quick flight up the stairs, and you'll be at the Rainforest Room, Cove Cafe, and Adult Pool area. Also, it's a fast and convenient walk/elevator ride to access the Walt Disney Theater, Cadillac Lounge, Crown & Finn, or the shops. I really enjoyed the toilet room, which is half of the split floorplan in this room category on the Magic/Wonder. It's the most spacious of any Disney ships, and the additional counter space and layout are a bonus. Also, the location under the men's changing room in the spa made it a tranquil stateroom, even in the evenings/mornings. The fact it's located directly under the center of the cantilevered "hump" on Deck 9 provided additional privacy on the verandah as well as cover/shade from the elements/sun. We sailed from Hawaii to Vancouver in this room, and even with several days of rough seas, we experienced much less creaking noise compared to others in different parts of the ship. I highly recommend this room!

We were apprehensive about staying on deck 1, but ended up loving this stateroom. The layout for the deluxe inside stateroom has the sofa closer to the door and the bed at the end of the room. Opposite the foot of the bed is a little cabinet with a lot of storage room. There is storage in the desk and the chest of drawers next to the closet. All in all we found that there was a lot of storage space in this stateroom. A nice feature was a small padded bench on the wall between the chest of drawers and the desk with storage underneath. That's where we kept our shoes. The stateroom was in very good repair, a few scratches on the furniture here and there. We loved the location of the stateroom. You had easy access to the forward and midship elevators and they were always empty. The hallway is fairly short and therefore there was never a lot of traffic. There is no connecting door. The stateroom was very quiet. There was only a tiny bit of shaking going on one morning while docking, otherwise there was no engine noise or vibrations.

Disney Dream Stateroom Reviews

Despite being the closest stateroom to the forward elevator bay, the noise pollution was little to none. This sailing sailed up to Iceland and had two really rough days of sea and the motion in the room was quite severe. Everything was in working order and we had a great stateroom host. Although, I wish there were outlets on the right side of the bed.

This Stateroom only sleeps 4 since it's missing the Murphy bed, but that meant an extra chair and space. Overall a good location, easy to get up to Cabanas from the aft elevators or down to the adult district / Animators Palate. We had calm seas so motion was not a problem, we did chose this location because someone in our traveling party is prone to seas sickness. We also occupied the connecting stateroom for the grandparents.

This was a very nice room in a convenient location to the aft elevators. For the 2 of us, it was HUGE. This was the biggest stateroom we've ever had in our 10 DCL cruises. This was the VGT GTY stateroom assigned to us. We certainly couldn't complain. The only complaint was that there were very few USB outlets. That did make the stateroom seem a bit outdated.

Quiet, low-motion room close to atrium, tender lobby, theatre, and main restaurants. Very little traffic in the hall from guests or crew. Tender boats do pull up right below the large porthole, which did create some noise at tender ports, but otherwise, we had minimal noise from above or below (travel companions were in room 2504 and occasionally heard noise from Preludes, which was directly above). Room was consistently immaculate and staff was kind and helpful.

I had never reserved an Oceanview Stateroom with a large porthole window (usually I like the verandah) or Forward on the ship (usually I like Aft), however, I fell in love with this room. The location was great. The room was spacious enough for one person. No noise from neighbors or hallway. Room attendant was wonderful. Being forward, the elevators were never a problem being crowded. I slept like a baby for the 10 nights I was on the cruise. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were in the large dispensers. I miss the personal travel size bottles but not enough to cause any problems on the cruise. At night, it was relaxing to watch the moonlight through the porthole as I drifted off to sleep. Laundry room was just one floor up on the 9th floor. Quick, convenient, and easy to get to. However, VERY POPULAR as the cruise went on, but the guests were polite and considerate. I guess I was lucky? Didn't feel the motion of the ship as we sailed. Easy to get up to the Adults Only section of the pool and the Senses Spa.

We loved this room! It was so big and has two separate televisions in the room. The muster station is the Walt Disney Theatre where they hold the stage shows. A few things this room doesn’t have. Surprised they only have it sleep 3 and not 4. This room does not have the pull down ceiling bunk. It only has the couch bed. It does not have the split bathroom. It also doesn’t have the curtain to separate the room like the other rooms (we brought our own hung with magnets from the ceiling, make sure they are strong). There is only one outlet on the porthole side of the bed nightstand not the other. The rest of the plug options are on the desk. It is nice that is located away from the elevators and high traffic areas. You do hear some sound from the stage shows if your in the room instead of attending the shows but it wasn’t enough to bother us. If you have a child that is attending the Vibe kids club there is a door just down the hall that opens to just outside the kids club entrance. Anyone can access that door as another way to get outside to walk down to deck 4.

This is a great stateroom that has a murphy bed and a bunk bed from the ceiling. It has the large port hole which offers a great view and the round tub with a rainforest shower as the staterooms in this category all have. We love this category as the staterooms feel very spacious and the porthole gives you a lot of natural light and you can sit on the sofa and look out over the ocean. The stateroom was in very good condition. The location is nearly all the way forward and therefore very quiet as nearly no one walks by there. The only noise was when the ship had to turn when docking or leaving port, the thrusters caused a lot of vibration and with that some noise. We didn't mind, but it woke us up every morning when we were docking. There is a laundry room on the other side of the ship all the way forward, so very close without any noise from there bothering you there. We liked deck 7 as it was kind of in the middle between pool deck and atrium and both could be reached via stairs without issues.

We spent 3 weeks in this room for EBTA & Mediterranean cruises. location is near the adult deck areas, the gym and spa, and the Cove Cafe. It’s also a quick trip down the stairs to the Walt Disney theater, where many of the port adventure groups met. We were assigned the room after booking VGT rate, and we really enjoyed being able to see the officers navigate into ports (you can see the side navigation area). The room is located directly under the gym, and if fellow guests don’t know how to use the equipment properly, they slam down the weights. On the 14 day transatlantic, we never heard anything, even though the gym was often full, The following week, in the Mediterranean, every afternoon the equipment was constantly slamming in sets of 10. If you have a young child who naps or maybe if you sleep in, this room would likely be a poor choice. As adults who wake up early and don’t spend much time in the room, we just thought it was funny and we’re still pleased with the GTY room assignment.

We were in this room & connecting room 6610. We we were also traveling with extended family who were booked in connecting rooms 6612 & 6614 next door. 6608 did not have a murphy bed but did have the pull down bunk bed. The room was in great repair and our verandah's all had amazing views of Castaway Cay on the starboard side. We we were right in between aft and midship elevators making for easy access to most everything we wanted to do, especially to the kids club.

Disney Fantasy Stateroom Reviews

The Good - In my opinion, the location of this room is fantastic. It is right by the Aft staircase/elevator which leads directly to the Cabanas buffet and the pool deck. Because it is far Aft, there was practically no noise from the hallway and felt very private. The room itself was very clean and in great condition. The Okay - Because this room is far Aft, there was a good amount of vibration coming from the engine; at first the vibrations were somewhat annoying, but I got used to it rather quickly. The room is directly below the Deck 10 Cabanas restaurant "bump-out" that hangs over the verandah of this room. It provides extra shade and rain protection, but it also has support beams that obstruct the view a tiny bit. Because the room is directly below Cabanas restaurant, every now and then you can hear very faint sounds of carts or chairs being moved. The Bad - If you are booking with the adjoining room 10146, note that the verandah divider CANNOT be removed, as it is structural (due to the bump-out). This was the biggest disappointment, since the whole reason we booked adjoining rooms was so that we could all sit on our verandah together. If you are booking adjoining rooms, I would book elsewhere.

Great stateroom! Close to elevators, Very small amount of talking occasionally from the hallways, doesn’t bother me. Looked Brand New! Our stateroom host was out of this world amazing! This stateroom has split Washrooms, queen bed, sofa, and upper bunk. Great views of Cozumel and could see mountains in Jamaica, Cabanas is 3 decks directly up. Enjoy the room!

Disney Wish Stateroom Reviews

This room was beautiful and looked brand new. Super convenient to the fwd elevators and quick service food, with still being very quiet. Stateroom host Turino was one of the best we've had. Only ding would be for ALL Wish staterooms that they are lacking drawer space.

This state room was great!! Very spacious. Wish that it had the murphy bed but the extra space is great. The porthole is MASSIVE we really enjoyed the views and our young kid loved to play in the porthole. I will say this is a long walk from ANYTHING so, if you're booking this with the intention of "just going back to the room all the time" this isn't the state room for you.

Booked last minute and we were assigned this room. You are underneath the overhang of deck 11 so you will not get sun on your verandah at all. Was worried about the noise from the buffet above us but we did not really hear much..none if you had the TV on. Quiet as it was in the aft of the ship so not many rooms past ours.

This is an amazing room! It’s a concierge ocean view but because of the odd shape of the room, it’s basically a one bedroom suite. The bedroom completely closes off from the living room. The whole room is huge! Perfect for families with kids so parents get their own room. The living room area has at least one pull down bed and the sofa turns into a bed. The only annoying thing is you have to go up one level for the concierge lounge, but that’s no big deal in the scheme of things!

This room was great. I wish I would have taken pictures before we got there. Then never took any when in it. The room is bigger than the layout plan shown on this site. It doesn't have the Murphy bed, but an empty space with an extra chair and a small sliding table with a painting of Louis playing the horn. The other wall has the connecting room door on it. The room is located just a bit down from the stairs and elevator toward the aft. It was only two floors from the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods. You exit toward Mickey's Smokestack BBQ. Every time you get to that deck you smell the BBQ and can't help but stop. You never heard anyone walking down the hallway even with the hallway of the interior staterooms facing the door. It does have the start of the biggest bump-outs for the veranda. It is narrower on one side than the other but not enough to worry about space. Didn't feel too much rocking only when the ship was really moving at high speed. One of the attendant's work areas is right down from the door so you will always be able to find the room attendants if you need them. I would really recommend this room if it's available.

Really great location! We were a few staterooms from the elevators & stairs. Conveniently located down the hall from the Concierge Lounge and only one flight of stairs above the pizza & barbeque. (Our teens favorite!) Very quiet location. Stateroom was very nicely decorated (Tangled themed) although the King sized bed took up so much room, wish it was Queen sized. It was a bit of a squeeze for our family of 5 (our kids are older teens/young adults)

The stateroom is right off the pool deck and near all the delicious snack food if wanting to get a quick snack between lunch and dinner or before bed.

The only reason noise gets 3 out of 5 is because sometimes you hear the later deck parties when you are trying to sleep. Other than that it’s a great room.

This cabin is an handicap. There is no split bath & one very large bathroom with a roll in shower. It was actually very comfortable within & the shower drained great so no water problems. The air conditioner was wonky, I think because of the odd shape of the room, it is bigger but the beds are all on top of each other. The pull out couch squeaked loudly & my DD is 120lbs not very heavy. The room steward was wonderful & supplied an additional device to help cool down the room. This cabin is on the very end of 13 & the public deck is on your immediate left (of the verandah) It's a private type nook out on the other side of your balcony others pushed behind the chairs & camped out here every day loudly playing music on blue tooth speakers. Even when I requested they at least quiet the music it was their vacation so in order for them to enjoy it diminished my being able to use the outdoor space. They backed up & peered into our balcony, just super uncomfortable so basically I paid for a verandah I could not use. I was told to monitor it & call guest services if it became to much. I wasn't playing pool deck police so this cabin is a true waste of concierge monies. Choose any other cabin. Cabin was clean with 2 TV's. The smoking area is directly above so cigarette smoke can be detected faintly IF outside while at port.

Great cabin right across from the concierge lounge. Everything in working order and well maintained. Seemed to lack a bit of storage space but we made due just fine. The split bath was perfect, not as tight as the Magic & very comfortable. We would book this cabin again. Also it connected to a 1 bedroom & we were wondering about the noise level of the 5 people including 3 little ones, never heard a peep! #great cabin!

Disney Dream Ship Overview

An elegant light fixture forms the centerpiece of the three-deck Disney Dream atrium lobby

The arrival of the Disney Dream in 2011 marked the first expansion of Disney Cruise Line’s fleet since its initial two ships in the late 1990s. It had been about 12 years since the launch of the Disney Wonder, and the Dream’s launch was highly anticipated — not just because of pent-up demand but also because Disney had an additional decade of experience and technological advances under its belt. Still no casinos onboard , but lots of new innovations such as a sort of water coaster called the AquaDuck, interactive artwork that springs to life as you pass by, and much more.

As you step onto the ship, your arrival is announced over the atrium loudspeakers as if you were arriving at a state dinner — the crew and your fellow passengers applaud to welcome you aboard, and your vacation has officially begun!

Inside the grand atrium of the ship which towers three decks in height, you might stop to gawk at the impressive overhead light fixture (22 feet in diameter and 13 feet tall, bedazzled with more than 88,000 Swarovski crystals and 24-carat gold plating).

A large crystal covered light fixture

There are plenty of photo spots here, from the grand staircase to the selfie-worthy statue of Admiral Donald [Duck]. Glass elevators zip up and down, ferrying passengers between 14 passenger decks, each waiting to be explored. Where will you head first?

The Disney Dream is a sister ship to the Disney Fantasy , meaning the two are relatively equal in terms of construction (although similar areas on each ship are usually themed differently from one another). The Dream is significantly larger than the two original ships ( Disney Magic and Disney Wonder ) but is slightly smaller than the Disney Wish .

Based on the expected design of the remaining Disney Cruise ships currently being built , the Disney Dream should settle in as one of the “mid-sized” ships in the Disney Cruise fleet — larger than the classic ships, but well below the gigantic ship that Disney is planning to launch in Singapore in 2025.

As to onboard experiences, the Disney Dream is one of only two ships in the fleet to offer the AquaDuck water coaster, the Remy adult-exclusive fine dining restaurant, and virtual portholes (with live camera views of the outside) for its inside staterooms.

How Does the Dream’s Size Affect the Onboard Experience?

There are pros and cons to both types of ships — larger and smaller — but it really depends on your personal preference.

The smaller ships such as the Magic and Wonder are certainly easier to navigate on foot – you’re just a short walk away from virtually anything onboard. My wife and I tend to prefer the smaller ships for this very reason — but the difference is certainly not significant enough to be a dealbreaker. As a matter of fact, Katie and I have sailed onboard the Disney Dream more than any other Disney Cruise Ship despite generally preferring the smaller ones.

We at MagicGuides also tend to recommend smaller ships for first-time cruisers as they might feel a bit cozier when you’re trying to get your feel of the world of cruising — but again, it’s not a major consideration. My first Disney Cruise (and my first cruise ever, for that matter) was on the Disney Dream; I never felt overwhelmed during my maiden voyage and you likely won’t either.

Larger ships such as the Dream might not be able to dock in smaller ports; this is  usually not a concern thanks to savvy itinerary planning on Disney’s part, but some ports are so small that almost every cruise ship has to rely on tenders (smaller boats to ferry you between the ship and shore).

A bigger ship means more passengers, so you’ll find that all of the onboard venues are larger, too. Expect larger restaurants, larger theaters, and larger pools. Fortunately, the additional passengers are well absorbed by these so it rarely feels crowded. And thanks to clever design such as the use of forced perspective, there are still plenty of cozy spots onboard so you never really feel like you’re in a giant cavernous gymnasium.

Disney Dream Staterooms

A bed, couch, and desk, in front of a sliding glass door leading to a verandah balcony

One of the biggest decisions to make for your cruise is your own private room onboard the ship. Your stateroom (passenger cabin) serves as your hotel room at sea.

The Disney Dream has 1,250 staterooms, most of which offer an outside view via either a porthole window or a verandah balcony. There are four primary types of staterooms on the ship; each of those four types is further divided into multiple categories and subcategories. Your choice of stateroom is one of the biggest factors in the how much a Disney Cruise costs , because the per-person cost can increase depending on the stateroom category.

Here is a consolidated list of the room types offered onboard. They’re listed here generally from least expensive to most expensive, though there may be some price overlap. For a more in-depth look at each of these room types, see the descriptions and photos posted in our Disney Cruise Staterooms article.

Inside Staterooms on Disney Dream

An inside stateroom on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy

Inside Staterooms are the smallest Guest rooms on the ship, but are still larger than those found on some other cruise lines. And thanks to some smart design, there’s still plenty of room for everyone and their luggage.

These staterooms have no porthole window and no balcony, but on this ship they do have so-called “magical portholes.” These are circular video screens which offer live video views of the outside, along with occasional character sightings.

Inside staterooms are offered in standard and deluxe versions, with standard being the smaller of the two. The standard version is also the only regular stateroom category on the ship which does not feature a split bathroom configuration; a split bathroom has a toilet/sink in a separate room from the shower/sink, allowing two people to get ready at the same time.

  • 11B:   Decks 5, 6, 7
  • 11A:   Decks 8, 9, 10
  • 10A:   Decks 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Oceanview Staterooms on Disney Dream

Oceanview staterooms offer an outside view through a porthole window which does not open.

There are two major choices within this category: a  Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom which is similar in layout to many other staterooms on the ship, and a  Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom  which is larger (holding more people) and offers many additional features geared toward larger families.

Disney Dream Dining and Lounges

Disney Cruise Food - Chilean Sea Bass served with a seared scallop and vibrantly-colored vegetables on a dark plate.

It’s generally well-known that food is a big part of the cruise experience , and the Disney Dream is no exception. With three sensational main dining restaurants, two elegant adult-only dining options, multiple lounges/nightclubs, and plenty of places to grab a quick meal or a snack on the go, you certainly won’t go hungry onboard this ship.

Rotational Dining Restaurants on Disney Dream

Like all Disney Cruise Ships, the Disney Dream offers rotational dining during the nightly dinner service. This Disney Cruise Line dining innovation pre-schedules you to visit a different restaurant on each night of the cruise. You’ll have the same servers each night, so they’ll get to know you and your food preferences.

Dinner at these three restaurants is included in the cost of your Disney Cruise .

Animator’s Palate

A themed dining room with columns shaped like giant paintbrushes

Animator’s Palate is the flagship dining experience on the first four Disney ships, including Disney Dream. Animator’s Palate offers a fan-favorite menu along with a taste of the magic of animation.

Menu items are inspired by Asian, Pacific, and Californian cuisine. Some examples of items you’ll find include black truffle pasta purseittes (a favorite of repeat DCL passengers), butternut squash soup, wild mushroom risotto, polenta cake with tomato and mushroom, lemon-thyme marinated chicken, beef tenderloin, and many more.

Your dinner also includes a tribute to animation – Undersea Magic features interactive digital animation of the Finding Nemo characters in a show that’s reminiscent of EPCOT’s Turtle Talk with Crush. It’s a fun digital twist on the usual concept of dining with Disney characters .

  • Enchanted Garden

The use of “enchanted” in this restaurant’s name is no mistake: the atmosphere of this French countryside conservatory magically changes from daytime to sunset to nighttime during the course of your dinner, while light fixtures transform and flowers “bloom.”

A fountain with Mickey Mouse atop serves as the centerpiece of a conservatory-themed dining room

Enchanted Garden offers farm-fresh continental cuisine; menu options may include lobster ravioli, an Ahi tuna and avocado tower, curried carrot & apple soup, sea bass, marjoram-scented chicken, and pork tenderloin. Round out the meal with a tempting dessert of steamed lemon buttermilk pudding, banana sundaes, chocolate tortes, and almond meringue cake.

Outside of dinner service, Enchanted Garden is also an alternate option (versus the primary onboard buffet Cabanas ) for breakfast and lunch on most days. You’ll find a less ambitious menu during those meal periods: the usual sausage, bacon, eggs, and hash browns for breakfast; salads, soups, burgers, grilled items, and pizza at lunch.

  • Royal Palace

Dining tables in an elegant dining room, with a royal tile mosaic on the floor

You’re invited to a royal banquet at this elegant restaurant inspired by the ballroom scene in Disney’s Cinderella and other animated classics: beautiful marble floors with a royal design, tiara-topped porthole windows, and hand-painted portraits of Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, and Snow White.

Your four-course royal feast includes options such as pomegranate-glazed duck breast, jumbo shrimp, spinach soufflé, avocado citrus salad, French onion soup, angus grilled beef tenderloin, roasted wild boar, lobster medallions, and Dijon-crusted rack of lamb. For dessert, indulge in the famed crème brûlée or enjoy a peanut butter mousse.

Adult-Exclusive Dining on the Disney Dream

Disney cruises are certainly family-friendly, but adults don’t need to worry that there’s nothing for them onboard. One of the great things on the Disney Dream that’s available exclusively to adults is a pair of elegant adult-exclusive restaurants . So send the kids off to the youth clubs, put on some nice duds, and enjoy a lovely kid-free date night at Palo or Remy !

Reserve a table at Palo for a delightful meal featuring memorable Italian cuisine. The stunning venue includes giant windows overlooking the ocean, providing a perfect backdrop for your meal.

Dinner menu items include seared sea scallops, tableside-fileted dover sole, butternut agnolotti, tiramisu, and a signature chocolate soufflé that’s considered one of the most popular items across the entire Disney Cruise fleet. On sea days, a tremendously-popular brunch service is typically offered.

Dining here requires an upcharge and space is usually in high demand; book as early as your onboard booking window allows.

The elegant dining room of Remy on the Disney Dream/Fantasy cruise ships

The finest onboard dining experience is at Remy. Named after the diminutive chef in Ratatouille , this restaurant transports you to the heart of Paris for a gastronomic experience like no other. You might be seated in the main room, or perhaps in the 900-bottle wine room. Or opt for ultimate luxury: the private Gusteau room (complete with a custom multi-course menu).

Dinner begins with a signature champagne cocktail prepared at your table. Then, it’s a gourmet culinary adventure designed in part by Chef Scott Hunnel (of Disney World’s Victoria & Albert’s) and Chef Arnaud Lallement (recipient of three Michelin stars and voted by  other Michelin-starred chefs as one of the 10 best chefs in the entire world). A gourmet cheese trolley and selections such as duck, elk, Kobe beef, langoustine, and sablefish are hallmarks of the menu.

On certain cruises, there’s also a highly-demanded champagne brunch as well as a 5-course dessert experience.

Dining here requires an upcharge. You’ll want to book as early as possible to have the best chance of securing a spot.

Casual Dining on the Disney Dream Cruise Ship

Breakfast and lunch are casual meal periods onboard the Disney Dream. So come as you are (just cover up any swimsuits) and grab a bite at Cabanas.

This restaurant offers a mix of American, Asian, and European favorites in an all-you-care-to-eat breakfast and lunch buffet served from nearly a dozen food stations.

Breakfast is exactly what you’d expect from an American perspective – custom-made omelets, bacon & sausage, Mickey Waffles, hash browns, and the like. There are also some international offerings such as rice and miso soup. For me, this is always a great chance to expand my culinary horizons with things I can’t normally get at home. My usual morning fare on the ship includes a giant healthy bowl of fresh muesli with dried fruits and nuts — admittedly usually with a few Mickey Waffles and bacon on the side (it’s all about the balance, you know).

Lunch at Cabanas is a constantly-changing mix of jumbo iced shrimp & crab claws, hamburgers, sandwiches, pizza, freshly-grilled meats, veggies, and much more.

Cabanas also offers an alternative dinner service most nights. It’s not buffet style at night; a server will present you with a menu and bring your food to you, and it’s usually a rather quiet meal. My spouse and I will sometimes plan to have dinner here on formal night if we don’t feel like packing dress clothes for the cruise.

Lounges, Bars, and Snacks on the Disney Dream

There’s always a place to grab a quick bite or a refreshing drink onboard. Whether you’re looking for a nibble, just want a soda, or are seeking something with a bit of alcohol , you’ll easily find it onboard. Here are just a few highlights:

  • Beverage Station

There’s no need to purchase a separate drink package on a Disney Cruise, as most non-alcoholic drinks are included at no additional cost (a rarity in the cruise industry). This self-service beverage station located near the pool offers unlimited refills of sodas, teas, coffees, and other non-specialty beverages.

An adults-only retreat that focuses on specialty coffees and teas during the day, with cocktails in the evening.

A compelling open-air bar on Deck 13 offering expansive views and delightful cocktails. Adults only.

This family-friendly venue hosts interactive events for all ages. Karaoke, trivia, game shows, and even dance parties can be found here on a daily basis.

A large lounge area with a stage, and the word

  • District Lounge

A relaxed piano bar offering cocktails and nightly entertainment. Non-alcohol options are also available for those who want to enjoy the live music in a “drier” way.

Evolution lives up to its name. During the day, it welcomes cruisers of all ages for games, activities, and dance classes. At night, it evolves into a vibrant adults-only nightclub with a lively bar scene.

Eye Scream Treats and Frozone Treats

Cool down with all-you-can eat soft-serve ice cream cones (included in the cost of your cruise!), or spend a bit extra to enjoy a specialty smoothie.

Flo’s Cafe: Fillmore’s Favorites, Luigi’s Pizza, and Tow Mater’s Grill

For a quick grab-and-go snack poolside, check out these quick service windows. You’ll find pizza, chicken tenders, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and more.

Meridian Lounge

Supplement your elegant meal at Remy or Palo by having cocktails at this upscale travel-themed lounge conveniently located directly between those two fine dining establishments. Cigars are also offered for purchase.

A serene lounge on Deck 14 in the forward funnel (red smokestack). This spot is often overlooked due to its secluded location, so it’s a quiet retreat with compelling views (and a great wedding venue, too!).

An secluded lounge with deeply rich colors

This Champagne and Wine bar pays tribute to all things bubbly, featuring a private-label Tattinger champagne created and bottled exclusively for this spot. Tip: look closely enough at the bubbles along the wall and you can spot pink elephants here even without having a drink!

Pink Wine & Champagne Bar (Disney Dream)

This contemporary sports bar offers live matches via satellite (when available) and comfortable lush seating. Open to everyone during the day, and adults only at night. The pub’s name is a nod to the ship’s hull number at the shipyard where it was created.

  • Senses Juice Bar

Enjoy a healthy quaff at this retreat near Senses Spa and Salon. Fresh fruit and vegetables give their all for these nutritious protein- and vitamin-packed beverages.

This adults-only bar provides scenic views of iconic city skylines around the world. Thanks to a little Disney magic, the view out the “window” changes to a different city every fifteen minutes.

  • Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats

Purchase hand-scooped gelato, baked goods, and candy in this shop inspired by  Wreck-It Ralph . Fees apply.

Room Service on Disney Dream

Almost all of the Disney Dream’s Room Service menu is offered at no additional charge – you’ll only have to pay for a few specialty items and to tip the crew member who delivers the food to your room.

The standard room service menu typically includes soups & salads, chicken tenders, burgers & dogs, sandwiches & wraps, and hot wings.  You’ll also typically find a few flatbreads or pizzas and perhaps some pasta. Dessert — usually cookies, cake, or pie — is also offered.

A favorite among repeat cruisers is the All Hands on Deck , a plate of assorted cheese, fruit, and crackers. Kids (both actual and adult) will be pleased to know you can also request a Mickey’s Premium ice cream bar – the same kind found in the theme parks.

If you don’t mind paying a bit extra, you can add on specialty items such as beer, wine, canned soft drinks, deluxe coffees, juices, and pre-packaged snacks such as candies.

Best Bets for Each Meal on Disney Dream

Below we list each of the main meal periods onboard the ship, and your best options for each.

  • Primary option: Cabanas is the number one breakfast spot onboard thanks to its long hours, expansive options, and all-you-care-to-eat service style. Mornings can be rather hectic here, but there’s rarely difficulty in finding a seat.
  • Secondary option: One of the three rotational restaurants (typically Enchanted Garden) usually offers a table-service breakfast, complete with a server who will bring your food and keep your drinks refilled. The menu is a bit more limited than at Cabanas, but it’s usually a much quieter option to start your day.
  • Other options: Room service is available, but there are two things to know. First, you’ll need to order in advance via a menu card that you hang on your doorknob the night before. Second, know that the breakfast menu is extremely limited. There’s no “hot breakfast” (no bacon, eggs, sausage, or oatmeal); instead, it’s a continental sort of menu with juices, coffees, pastries, and cold cereals. I personally find the room service breakfast to be too limited, though I’ll admit there’s a certain charm to coffee and a light pastry while enjoying the sunrise from my verandah.
  • Primary option: Like at breakfast, Cabanas is the best lunch option thanks to its wide selection. Iced jumbo shrimp and crab claws are a signature menu item most days and I usually eat my fill of them at least once during the cruise; you’ll also find freshly grilled meats, a wide variety of side items, some interesting international selections, and lots of tempting desserts.
  • Secondary option: Spending the afternoon by the pool? There’s no need to dry off and head inside when you get a rumbly in your tumbly. Drip dry and head over to the food service windows at Flo’s Café for burgers, dogs, sandwiches, and unlimited ice cream cones. These windows often offer extended hours, which makes them a good failsafe for folks who miss lunch hours at Cabanas or get hungry before their late dinner service.
  • Other options : Enchanted Garden typically serves lunch with open seating. Room Service is another good option, though there’s sometimes a lunch rush which can delay your food’s arrival a bit. The cloche-covered dishes sometimes mean that fried items such as wings might not arrive quite as crispy as you’d like.
  • Primary option: Your assigned rotational dining restaurant is the heart of Disney Cruise dining and shouldn’t be missed. Your dedicated service team follows you all voyage long and will likely become your favorite Crew Members onboard the ship (my wife and I made such a connection with our servers on a 2019 cruise that we still remember their names to this day!). Add in special themed menus and other thoughtful touches, and you’ll quickly see why this is a highlight of each day onboard.
  • Secondary option: As an alternative to your pre-scheduled rotational dining restaurant, you might opt to experience Cabanas in a totally new way. Dinner at Cabanas is an entirely different experience than the free-for-all buffet-style offerings that are the mainstay of breakfast and lunch. A host seats you at your table, and a server presents you a menu featuring some of the most popular selections onboard.
  • Other options: Many cruisers enjoy dedicating at least one night of their cruise to an adult-exclusive meal at Palo or Remy. Otherwise, you can always grab something from the quick-service windows on the pool deck, or order room service.

Off-Hours Eating and Snacking

  • Primary option: For cravings outside the main meal periods, your best bet is Flo’s Café on the pool deck. Their generous hours and snack-friendly offerings make them a great choice to tide you over between meals. Individual portions tend to be “snack sized” (perhaps 2 or 3 chicken tenders and a few fries), so you won’t spoil your dinner unless you want to by asking for a larger portion.
  • Secondary option: Room Service is available 24/7, up until about 1:30 AM on the last morning of your cruise. It’s the only option for overnight snacking. I’ll occasionally order a few warm cookies and some milk at bedtime, but you can also order 1:00 AM buffalo wings if your antacid game is strong.

Disney Dream Pools and Water Slides

Two riders on a raft are propelled by water through elevated tubes on the AquaDuck, a water ride on some Disney cruise ships

The AquaDuck is the premier water attraction onboard the Disney Dream. This first-of-its kind (water coaster on a cruise ship) attraction takes its guests on a wild adventure high above the upper decks of the ship.

Guests board a raft and are propelled by jets of water through 765 feet of tubes and open-air slide segments; along the way, you’ll experience a 4-deck drop, a careening curve over the edge of the ship, and a journey through one of the iconic red smokestack funnels.

There’s no additional charge to ride the AquaDuck, but you will have to wait in line. There is no Lightning Lane onboard the ship. Lines tend to be longest on Sea Days and shorter when the ship is in port. Riding earlier or later can also help avoid crowds – just don’t forget to check the operating hours each day in the Navigator app.

To ride solo, Guests must be at least 54″ tall and at least 7 years of age. Children under the age of 7 who are at least 42″ tall and toilet-trained may ride with a companion who is at least 14 years of age.

Pools and Splash Pads

  • Donald’s Pool

This pool offers a shallow wading area with a deeper center. This is a perfect place to enjoy Disney movies on the giant 24′ x 14′ FunnelVision screen nearby. This pool is sometimes closed during special on-deck events, covered with a retractable floor to offer more deck space.

Funnel Puddle

A shallow (approximately 1-foot deep) family friendly pool that’s far removed from the raucousness of the Donald’s and Mickey’s pools. This is the closest thing you’ll find onboard to a “quiet pool” that’s still open to all ages; but there’s still a small water fountain feature in the middle that kids love to splash in.

  • Mickey’s Pool & Slide

The shape alone clearly communicates this is designed for kids; The deeper zones of this still-shallow pool are shaped like the friendly face of everyone’s favorite pal, Mickey Mouse. Meanwhile, one of Mickey’s signature white gloves supports a bright yellow waterslide for kids aged 4 to 14 / height 38″ to 64″. May be closed during deck parties.

  • Nemo’s Reef

This toddler-friendly splash zone features PIXAR characters spraying water, a child-sized Mr. Ray waterslide, and more — all in a shaded, enclosed, and “accidental tumble”-friendly soft surfaced area. Ages 3 years or younger; swim diapers are required.

Water jets and Pixar characters in Nemo's Reef

  • Quiet Cove Pool

A serene oasis for those 18 and up to get away from the kids for some quiet time. There’s a three-circled pool of varying depths, lounge-style seating in the shallowest segment, a whirlpool spa, and of course plenty of adult beverages nearby.

Quiet Cove Pool and Bar

Satellite Falls Pool

One of the most unique water spaces onboard, Satellite Falls is an adults-only wading pool that features a cascading (ok, rapidly dripping) waterfall directly underneath one of the giant satellite domes on the ship’s upper deck.

Disney Dream Kids Clubs and Teen Clubs

Children are trained by a Jedi master

Much of Deck 5 on the Disney Dream is dedicated to spaces especially designed for younger passengers, and there are plenty of other youth-friendly spaces onboard. Here’s a preview.

  • Disney’s Oceaneer Club

The Oceaneer Club is the primary kids activity onboard the ship. It’s the place where your kids will probably spend most of their time onboard. For some families, it’s not uncommon for the kids and adults to part ways at breakfast and regroup at dinner, with the Kids Club filling the gap between.

This secure facility is accessible only to kids aged 3-10 and trained youth activities staff — but there are pre-scheduled open houses to allow parents and kids to tour the location together. Inside there are tons of kid-friendly spaces and activities, and it’s all included in the cost of your Disney cruise! This amazing kids club is one of the reasons we consider Disney to be the best cruise line for children .

Edge is the perfect place to relax as tweens see fit — a huge video wall, a dance floor, karaoke machines, a game room, and photo booths. The furniture can even be moved around so Guests can make the space their own. A mix of planned activities and unstructured free time keeps things interesting.

Those aged 14 to 17 have a unique indoor/outdoor space made just for them, complete with a super secret entrance! Indoors, teens will find plenty of TVs, video games, and tablets, plus dance parties, karaoke sessions, and group activities.

Disney Dream Entertainment and Activities

disney dream stateroom tour

Disney is an entertainment company at heart, so it’s no surprise that the shows and experiences onboard the Disney Dream are top notch.

Broadway-Style Shows in the Walt Disney Theatre

Each night of your cruise, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a live show in the beautiful Walt Disney Theatre. This includes at least three Broadway-style shows during your cruise, along with other additions (such as family-friendly comedians, magicians, and hypnotists) on longer voyages.

Show times are opposite your dinner time onboard. So if you have early dining, you’ll see the late show — and vice versa.

Beauty and the Beast

This show brings a tale as old as time to the stage. Innovative puppetry and stunning special effects combine with skilled actors and memorable music to bring you an unforgettable evening.

Disney’s Believe

Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party

This offering, presented on select cruises, features a 90s throwback themed dance party on deck. Start the show off with a group sing-along of Into the Unknown , then spin the color wheel to reveal a series of high-energy performances and easy-to-learn dances and group actions. Mickey, Minnie, and even Max are along for the party.

Pirate Night / Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party with Fireworks

Pirate night starts with the delivery of pirate bandanas to your stateroom – then the party moves to your scheduled dining location for the evening, where a special themed menu awaits. Then, head up to the pool deck for a raucous show with high-flying pirates including favorite Disney characters. Finally, the grand finale (and another Disney innovation) – fireworks at sea!

Note: not every itinerary offers a pirate night, and fireworks may be canceled due to weather.

Sailing Away Deck Party

The official start to your Disney Dream cruise — your vacation begins when the ship’s horn plays those familiar notes and confetti rains down from the upper decks. Captain Mickey and all his pals are there to join the fun to ensure your trip gets off to a great, high-energy start.

Disney Movies in the Buena Vista Theatre

First-run and classic favorite Disney, Marvel, PIXAR, and LucasFilm movies are shown throughout the day in the Buena Vista Theatre. No need for a ticket — it’s completely free so all you need to do is find a seat at showtime.

Sailing during the premiere of a highly-anticipated Disney film? It’ll be shown repeatedly in the Buena Vista Theatre, likely after a huge “PremEAR at Sea” showing in the Walt Disney Theatre.

Goofy Golf and Sports Deck

If you prefer your entertainment to be a bit more active, there’s plenty of great recreation to be had on Goofy’s Sports Deck , located on Deck 13 aft.

Enjoy a delightfully ludicrous mini-golf course with nine fun-filled, pun-filled holes. It’s completely free and no tee times are required. Just grab a putter and a goofball, er, golf ball — and perhaps a scorecard/pencil if you insist on keeping things official (I don’t bother, as I see no reason to put my lies in writing).

This is one of my absolute favorite things to do onboard the Disney Dream. I just love enjoying a game of mini-golf out on the open ocean, and the sight gags just add to it. Vewy sewious mini-golfers will appreciate that each hole offers two tee locations — one just for fun and one for a slightly more challenging experience.

A miniature golf course hole, complete with silly additions such as an octopus in a bucket of water

Elsewhere on the sports deck, you’ll find other, more mainstream pursuits, such as a basketball court and even a digital sports simulator (fees apply).

Down on deck 4, you’ll also find shuffleboard courts — a classic cruise activity.

Here’s a great way to explore the ship: sleuthing out a crime! Start your adventure at the agency kiosk on Deck 5 — pick up a badge and deck plan / casebook — and suddenly, the game is afoot!

This extensive adventure will send you all over the ship looking for more than 20 interactive artwork displays, where a series of random events and “choose your own adventure” dilemmas make sure that you can play over and over without getting bored.

Depending on the agency’s caseload, you might help Mickey and pals recover some stolen paintings, try to find 99 missing Dalmatians, or follow Pepe the King Prawn’s clues to solve a zany Muppet mystery.

Not only is this a fun adventure, it’s also an astounding way to orient yourself to everything on the ship! I highly recommend it for first-timers. And because your detective badge tracks your progress, you can play at your own pace, starting and stopping as you like.

Disney Dream Spas and Salons

Disney Dream offers a full-service spa onboard the ship, featuring many other health and wellness services.

Senses Spa and Salon

Pamper yourself with spa treatments, salon services, and rejuvenation procedures at this restful retreat. Services offered at Senses Spa include Swedish massages, aroma stone therapy, deep tissue massage, acupuncture, facials, teeth whitening, shampoo/cut/style, manicures, pedicures, and more. Even those who aren’t into spa treatments may enjoy the Rainforest Room with its various themed shower settings. Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, showers, lockers, sandals, and robes round out the offerings.

Exclusively for guests aged 13-17, this special area of Senses offers treatments to teens. A parent or guardian must accompany the teen for the duration of the treatment ( solo and combined treatments are offered as an option).

  • Fitness Center

Perhaps you’re a regular exerciser, or maybe you just want to offset several days of all-you-can-eat meals. Either way, you can stay in shape with the offerings at the Disney Dream’s onboard fitness center. Whatever your preferred equipment — weight machines, cardio equipment, ellipticals, treadmills, and others — you’re likely to find it here. If you prefer a group experience you can join a yoga, Pilates, or aerobics class. Or, opt for personalized one-on-one training and analysis with a professional trainer.

  • Walking/Jogging Track

If, like me, you’re not keen on a major workout but do enjoy a nice walk after dinner, you’ll be happy to know that the Disney Dream offers an open-air walking/jogging track on Deck 4. I like that it’s low enough on the ship to offer some close-up ocean views — especially handy if you’re lucky enough to see wildlife such as dolphins playing alongside the ship. A leisurely stroll is perfectly fine, but jogging is also fair game here if you don’t want to miss your daily run while onboard.

What’s the Best Disney Dream Stateroom for Me?

by Cathy Salustri | Sep 26, 2022 | Disney Cruise Line , Disney Cruise Line News , Disney Dream

Best Disney Dream Stateroom for Me Featured DPB

Not sure where to stay? Here’s the Best Disney Dream Stateroom for your party…

Let’s go cruising! If those fall discounts (up to 25%) on the Disney Dream have you excited to start cruising again with Disney Cruise Lines, all that’s left is to pack your finest pirate gear and get on the boat! Well, almost… first you have to pick your Stateroom. If you’ve never been on a cruise before, or if you’ve never taken a Disney Cruise, you might not know which Disney Dream Stateroom is best for you. Here’s a short guide to help you choose the best stateroom, no matter your budget.

Concierge Staterooms

Do you like the comforts and amenities at Disney’s top-tier resorts like Disney Yacht Club and   Polynesian , or enjoy club-level amenities ? You’ll be happiest with the concierge-level state. ( Club 33 members , these are the staterooms you want, but you probably already knew that.)

These luxe Staterooms sleep at least five and boast a private verandah. The smallest Concierge Stateroom is just over 300 square feet; the largest is just shy of 1800 square feet. All Concierge Staterooms come with access to Deck 12; a private deck with its own food and beverage service, a private sundeck, free Wi-Fi and dedicated concierge services so you can better plan your shore excursions, make onboard reservations or help with whatever you need while cruising on the Disney Dream.

Our pick: If you go with this level of stateroom and money is not an issue, splurge for the largest stateroom in this class. The Disney Dream’s Concierge Royal Suite has a jetted tub on the verandah. Talk about luxury! 

Verandah Staterooms

Slightly smaller than the smallest concierge stateroom, every Verandah Stateroom on the Disney Dream has (as the name implies) a private verandah. These Staterooms have a queen bed and sleeper sofa, as well as plenty of storage. Disney Cruise Lines, ever-true to the Disney name, has added magical touches like space for luggage under the bed, and, if you pull down the upper berth beds, you’ll find a starry sky mural featuring Peter Pan, Wendy, and everyone’s favorite fairy (note: this is true for each class of staterooms on the Disney Dream).

Our pick: While the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom has slightly more square footage, the plain ol’ Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom isn’t that much smaller – and it’s far from plain. They both have a private verandah, the same size beds, and similar amenities. Unless you plan to spend a lot of time in your room, go with the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom .

Oceanview Staterooms

The Oceanview Staterooms on the Disney Dream have portholes – one or two, depending on the Stateroom – so you can watch the sunset, or the ship pulling into port. If you’re a first-time cruiser trying to decide between an interior or Oceanview stateroom, pick Oceanview. Watching the Disney Dream dock, or seeing the moon on the water from the privacy of your room, is a cruising experience everyone should have at least once.

Our pick: Even if you don’t have kids, the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom has one neat upgrade that makes it worthwhile – the portholes have built-in seats, so you can sit and watch the world go by. No matter which Stateroom you choose, try not to book an obstructed/partially obstructed view if you can help it. 

Inside Staterooms

“Our standard is superior” the DCL website boasts, and it’s not wrong. Sure, you don’t get a window, but the Disney Dream Inside Staterooms do come with a “magical” porthole (say hi to Flo!) that let you see what you’d see from an Oceanview Stateroom. Bonus: Even the smallest Staterooms on the Disney Dream have tubs (although accessible rooms, of course, do not.)

Our pick: Pick your Stateroom based on how close you want to be to the action. Both classes of Inside Staterooms on the Disney Dream come with a couch, a desk and a curtain to separate the sitting area from the bed. If you really want to get a workout for your calves, book an Inside Stateroom on Deck 2 and use the stairs to get wherever you’re going. You’ll work off all that scrumptious Disney Dream food in no time!

No matter which class of Stateroom you choose for your next Disney Dream cruise, keep a few things in mind: if you’re prone to motion sickness, choose a higher level deck. If you’re looking for a quiet escape, choose a lower level deck (away from the fun and frivolity up top!). If you’re a first-time cruiser, take it from someone who’s spent her share of time on cruise ships: a Verandah’s always worth the extra money, but don’t go overboard (see what I did there?) on what you spend for a Stateroom – you’re never there as much as you think you will be, and there’s so much to do on the Disney Dream, your cruise will likely be no exception.
