Review summary

The Disney Dream and the cruise were both great experiences.  The service, food, child care experience, access to Disney Characters and entertainment aboard the ship were the best we have experienced on any cruise and were excellent.  Disney's private island also was the best of all cruise line private islands.  The only problem, and it was major, was the lack of pools for the children.  There were only two postage stamp sized pools for the kids/families and they were so packed they were unusable.  The good greatly out weighted the bad but I will consider a different cruise line (much less costly) with a trip to Disney World for our next special trip.

Ship tip

Everything you could ever wish for except for pool availability. Plan for the Oceaneers club for the kids (very nice) to allow for some adult time.
