<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adding to its impressive list of cruise industry firsts, Disney Cruise  Line will combine technology-infused innovations and imagination to  create a whole new level of magical experiences for families sailing on  its newest ship, the Disney Dream. Throughout their cruise vacation,  guests will encounter unexpected magic &ndash; such as a restaurant that  transports guests under the sea, artwork that magically comes to life  and youth clubs filled with immersive gaming environments and  personalized character encounters. <br /><br /> Disney Cruise Line partnered with Walt Disney Imagineering, the creative  force responsible for designing Disney theme parks and resorts  world-wide, to develop new forms of family entertainment for the Disney  Dream. New experiences planned for the Disney Dream include: </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><strong>Animator&rsquo;s Palate</strong></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /> For the Disney Dream, Disney Cruise Line is re-imagining a fan favorite  from the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder &ndash; Animator&rsquo;s Palate restaurant.  The restaurant design is that of a classic animation studio filled with  character sketches, maquettes (three-dimensional character models),  paint brushes, colored pencils and other tools of the animation trade.  Scenes and characters from popular Disney Pixar films adorn the walls. <br /><br /> Once the dinner service begins, however, the dining room begins a  magical transformation as scores of wall-mounted LCD screens switch to  scenes of a vivid undersea environment. It&rsquo;s as if the restaurant was  transported to the ocean floor and the LCD screens are windows,  providing incredible views of a colorful coral reef and creatures that  reside on the reef. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> While dining, Crush, the surfer-dude sea turtle from Disney Pixar&rsquo;s  &ldquo;Finding Nemo,&rdquo; makes a special appearance, swimming around the  restaurant and engaging in live impromptu interactions with guests.  Crush will ask guests about the experience onboard the ship and in turn  answer questions about life under the sea. While Crush is moving  throughout the restaurant, other characters from &ldquo;Finding Nemo,&rdquo; such as  Nemo, Dory, Squirt and Bruce the shark, swim by and visit with guests. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> The dining experience culminates with a surfing lesson led by Crush as  the EAC (East Australian Current) swirls around the room. As Crush swims  away, other characters from &ldquo;Finding Nemo&rdquo; make a final appearance  before magically turning into pencil sketches. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><strong>Interactive Play-floor</strong></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /> For young cruisers, Disney&rsquo;s Oceaneer Club and Disney&rsquo;s Oceaneer Lab  will feature an interactive play-floor, a cruise industry first that  blends the latest in gaming technology with Disney&rsquo;s panache for  storytelling. Located in the main gathering space in both venues, the  interactive play-floor allows children to engage in team play exercises  where their movements control the action on the interactive floor. For  example, one activity has children scrambling around the perimeter of  the interactive play-floor with their movements controlling the pitch of  a virtual tilt maze. <br /><br /> On the interactive play-floor, children will be able to explore a wide  variety of gaming options with varying levels of difficulty. Disney  Cruise Line youth counselors will use the interactive play-floor during  storytelling activities where children will be able to fly over the  streets of London with Peter Pan or ride the ocean waves with Crush. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><strong>Living Characters <br /> </strong>Also in Disney&rsquo;s Oceaneer Club and Disney&rsquo;s Oceaneer Lab youth  areas, Disney characters come to life and interact with children in  one-of-a-kind experiences. On a 103-inch screen, Crush, the animated sea  turtle from the Disney Pixar motion picture &ldquo;Finding Nemo,&rdquo; or the  mischievous animated alien Stitch make scheduled appearances to chat,  play and joke with kids in live, unrehearsed conversations. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> Sometimes using silly props from their digital environments, Crush and  Stitch amaze and entertain children during real-time, personalized  appearances. These magical experiences with Crush and Stitch continue  Disney&rsquo;s legacy of bringing characters to life in new and incredible  ways. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><strong>Enchanted Art <br /> </strong>Throughout the Disney Dream, guests will encounter Enchanted  Art that immerses guests in Disney storytelling in a completely new way.  Appearing as traditional framed art, Enchanted Art magically comes  alive when guests pause to admire the artwork. Enchanted Art will carry  the appearance of popular art mediums &ndash; photography, oil paintings,  paper sculpture, travel posters and animation cells. In reality though,  they are framed LCD screens made to look like artwork through special  effects and recognizes when a guest is present&hellip;which triggers the  animated sequence. Guests may see new and different animations each time  they come back and visit the Enchanted Art pieces. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> In addition, the Enchanted Art is used as part of a one-of-a-kind  detective themed adventure where guests of all ages join a ship-wide  quest to find either stolen artwork or missing puppies. By using a  simple card that serves as a high-tech detective device, guests can peer  behind virtual canvases and discover clues that will lead them to solve  the mystery and capture the villain responsible. A self-paced  adventure, the game offers six potential villains and features  randomized events so each time a guest plays they will encounter a  different and unique gaming experience. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /><strong>Virtual Porthole <br /> </strong>The Disney Dream carries on the spirit of innovation with a  cruise industry first for all inside staterooms. Virtual Portholes offer  a &ldquo;window&rdquo; to the world with a real-time view outside the ship.  High-definition cameras placed on the exterior of the ship feed live  video to each Virtual Porthole. The live video feed corresponds to the  stateroom location &ndash; with a view to port, starboard, forward or aft. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> As guests are observing the outside views, they may glimpse a magical  surprise: animated characters may pop by the Virtual Porthole.  Characters may include Peach the starfish from the Disney Pixar film  &ldquo;Finding Nemo,&rdquo; the flying balloon house from &ldquo;UP&rdquo; or even Mickey Mouse. </span> <span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br /> The Disney Dream is scheduled to depart on its maiden voyage Jan. 26,  2011, and will sail alternating three- and four-night cruises to the  Bahamas and Disney&rsquo;s private island, Castaway Cay. During summer months,  the ship will alternate four- and five-night itineraries with two stops  at Castaway Cay. </span></p>
