Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his cruise aboard the Disney Dream. This set of pictures are from Day 1 as he toured the ship, focusing on the Christmas decorations around the ship and the tree lighting ceremony. For pictures of the ship in general please visit disneygeek.com for his full update.
No Christmas decoration visible as you approach the ship…
Nor outside the terminal.
But inside there are some and Mickey was out in a holiday sweater to greet guests.
Inside the terminal there are some wreaths, ornaments and a tree.
A wreath over the check in area.
Minnie came out in relief of Mickey for photos.

That wraps up the first day and a tour of the Disney Dream Christmas decorations.
Next I’ll have photos of the holiday decorations at Castaway Cay. For additional photos and details from this trip you can check out the full Disney Dream Update I posted on my site, http://disneygeek.com
Just have to say “Sign Me Up” after looking at all of those great pictures, I want to board the Disney Dream and sail away. It looks like an incredible way to sea the world and see Disney too.
I know those ships are big, but I never stop being amazed at how “big” they really are. It seems that every time you turn the corner there is another place to explore. I may never get to take one of these cruises, because my wife is convinced she will be sea sick the whole time. Somehow I have to convince her, that the ship is so big she will be fine, and may not notice any movement at all. Cross your fingers for me, and Thanks again.
Great photos–I cannot wait to see the Fantasy next year at Christmas!
Excellent blog Jason! Thanks for posting!
