Not only did I have the wonderful opportunity to sail onboard Disney Cruise Line’s newly reimagined Disney Dream with my fiancée, I also had the chance to revisit the ship just weeks later with my parents as well. Now having sailed on the ship for seven evenings across a three- and a four-night sailing, I’ve compiled a list of tips to make the most of your experience on the magical vessel.Book a Cabin on Deck 5 Forward or AftI was blown away by the generously sized balcony of our deluxe family oceanview stateroom with veranda (cabin 5160) near the stern of the ship on deck five.
