Disney artwork graces the passageways and staterooms of the Disney Dream. There’s even a full-sized art gallery on board, where guests can purchase original and prints of Disney art.

I took many cute pictures of the boys playing at the beach at Castaway Cay. Disney shipboard professional photographers wandered the island taking pictures also. Because we were in the water, I didn’t have a Key to the World card with which the photographer could associate the picture. “That’s okay”, he says. How can that … Read more
I had heard SO MUCH about the Animator’s Palette restaurant on Disney Cruises. Boy was I in for a surprise on the Disney Dream! Last summer, before my husband and I had booked our cruise, I had received some recent gouge on taking Disney cruises from a couple of Air Force family friends. One of … Read more

| The “Midship Detective Agency” on the Disney Dream lets the kids interact with the Enchanted Art on the ship to solve a mystery. |
One of the unique features of the Disney Dream is their 22 pieces of “Enchanted Art” scattered among all of the artwork on their fourteen decks. In a Harry Potter-esque manner, random pictures on the wall will come to life! This is fun for the kids and adults alike!

This is officially called “The Confederate Memorial on Stone Mountain”. It’s the largest relief carving in the world…at least until the Crazy Horse Monument is finished. We all know who the guys are…who knows the horses’ names? As I’d mentioned in yesterday’s post about The Varsity, the only truly scheduled activity we had coming into … Read more
We took a long weekend and headed up to Atlanta. It’s about a 5.5 hour drive with no stops, plus we have a time zone change. We had nice seats at a Sunday afternoon Atlanta Braves game, and we booked a hotel room at a Comfort Inn right next to Turner Field, so we didn’t … Read more
Pardon the glare, I had the window down on the driver’s side, but not the passenger’s side of the car. On this last trip, I changed things up and bit and took US Route 231/431 up the eastern border of Alabama. This took us through Dothan, AL and Columbus, GA. In the past we’ve gone … Read more
