The 2,500-passenger Disney Dream, currently under construction at a shipyard in Germany, also will boast an adults-only decktop pool area with a swim-up bar.
The new decktop features, unveiled today, are in addition to a previously announced high-speed flume ride (http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=620000695.blog) that will wrap around the top of the vessel -- a cruise industry first.
The Dream is Disney's first new cruise ship in more than a decade. It's scheduled to debut on Jan. 26, 2011 -- exactly one year from today.

Disney says Goofy's Golf, as the nine-hole miniature golf course is to be called, is part of an interactive sports deck that also will have two digital sports simulators and two mini-sized sports courts where small children can play soccer and basketball. There also will be a full-court basketball area that can be transformed into a mini soccer pitch or volleyball court.
The sports deck also will have table tennis and foosball tables, and it will be ringed by a walking track.
The Nemo-themed water play (illustration above) will feature a small water slide, water jets and other water features. It'll also be enclosed with glass.
Disney says the adult-only area will be called Quiet Cove. Its pool, notable, will be fresh water (as all three pools atop the Dream will be).
Disney says the ship also will have a Mickey Mouse-shaped pool for small children (something already found on the line's two existing ships) and another family-focused pool called the Donald Pool.
