Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

[momof2minnies]

Can someone tell me how to see the printed deck plans for room numbers like the DCL site used to have- want to see numbered layouts of the rooms like before.

I go to the site and the only deck plan thing I get is a virtual thing and it doesn't work.

Looking for room 7100 and 7102 on the Dream- same location as on the Magic?

Go to the Disney Dream website. Click "Gallery" on the top and the "Deck Plans" on the bottom.

You can see the deck plans right here on the DIS too, go up and click on where it says staterooms.

Glad you found the pictures! These were the ones I'd glanced at quickly yesterday but haven't had time to post!

Yeah!

I just saw this one-- those are very tall supports for the 5E verandahs!

*eta*
Annnnd finally saw this one. I think we can safely say those 5E rooms are going to have deeper verandahs!

From this picture...

:

Does this picture look funny to anyone else? It kinda looks like a model put together from balsa wood. I know it's not though. Will the bottom (deep blue/black - and that's another thread) be painted or coated again? I just don't remember the Magic looking so ... slapped together? Granted, Disney isn't going to sail an unseaworthy vessel - this just struck me as odd.

I noticed that, as well as the seams around the porthole windows forward and aft. I was wondering if they would be doing any additional coating, but it seems they would have done that in drydock if they were going to.

I just went and looked back at my closeups of the Magic, and you can certainly see her seams when your are up close or taking pictures in bright light. I imagine it has to be hard to get steel and other metals to be nice and flat in all cases.

 

[HallsofVA]

Take a look at the picture below of the forward portholes. What is with the laddar down the side, and the ledges that go across between the porthole decks?

Is the ladder just for maintenance purposes, or does it serve as a sort of fire escape or entry/exit way for the crew in the case of an emergency or other problem?

Do the ledges serve any purpose? Perhaps to block the bridge from seeing stateroom lights when they are looking down at night? I see them on the forward rooms, and not on the aft rooms.

So someone help me out - we have a 5E (#5534) on the Dream. Could we actually have "lucked" out and gotten a deeper verandah?!?!? Not sure what is meant by being able to "look down"? I'm pretty sure I found our cabin - but would love for someone more knowledgeable to actually point it out on a picture. Thanks to everyone for these pictures and descriptions.

Okay,now since there are pictures and things are taken better shape, I am torn. I have a 5E room & like maybe the bigger vernanda, but will the room be smalled.
My husband is thinking maybe we change to one of the rooms off the back to get a differnt view point, since we sailed on the wonder mid-ship on deck 6.

Any ideas...also, I chose the orginal 5E room since I am prone to get seasick! I am happy with my current room but afraid the room might be smaller

COOL!! They have one of those moving platforms around the bridge too!

Wouldn't the bridge's windows also have wipers?

I see the moving platform goes all the way around the bridge (across the front and everything. Cool!

It is looking like you are getting a larger than normal verandah. The floor of your verandah extends all the way out to the edge of the cover that houses the boats and extra life jacket barrels and other items. If they put your verandah railing where it would be per the deck plan (in line with the other verandahs) then you wouldn't be able to see to the water when standing on your verandah, because all you would see would be the extra decking. So you could only see straight out and up, but not down toward the water. From the pictures, it appears that they are building the edge of your verandah out to the edge of the decking, which will move you closer to the edge, enabling you to see down toward the water.

Room 5534 is the 6th verandah from the front on the right side of the ship (or 10th from the left when starting at the accessible 5E verandah 5552.) From the picture that Soccermom posted above, I believe you are right above the right most opening on Deck 4 from the right, though it is hard to precisely gauge from the angle of the picture.

I don't think the room will be any smaller on the inside than any other Cat 5 room, so I don't know what you'd gain by moving rooms, especially if you like the location. The staterooms are generally prefabricated rooms, so they are generally identical on the inside, with some variances for corner or end rooms. If you look too hard at a printed deckplan, the rooms will *appear* smaller only because the scale for deck 5 is smaller than for the other decks given it has to cover the space from bow to stern, while the higher decks don't cover the bow.

Just wanted to take a moment and give a quick thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. In just under a week since I started this thread, it's had almost 18000 views, and over 270 posts. Thanks to everyone for helping to unlock the mysteries of the Dream, and for helping to translate the deck plans into actual pictures of the ship!

 

[HallsofVA]

yeah it's cool! but how is it gonna turn through those sharp corners

Notice they have a track across the front 9A rooms as well!

lmao! I was gonna say that but got too lazy… I doubted a little because I didn't really see the platform ahaha..

I've been looking at a deck plan that shows many accessible cabins in the aft. So Disney changed their minds?? What will those cabins now be like? Will they have same layout, just a regular washroom??

We typically travel with an air mattress (no where to fall!), which is why floor space is important to us and also having space for wheelchair in the cabin, too.

That would be great for us; my son is in a wheelchair but is small enough that a bathtub is preferred over a roll in shower.

Would 8682 be one of the better suites for us (occupancy of 4)?

Thanks for any feedback!

They have some kind of paper or film over the center, but they're still the same width as all the other doors. The paper just overlaps the two outer sections.


And those aft rooms aren't accessible. The only verandah accessible room AFT is on Deck 9, on the other side of the ship.

The original deck plan that I saw had all the aft corner cabins being accessible. They are still listed that way on the main Dream information site as well. (Go to Gallery, then Deck Plans)
http://www.disneytravelagents.com/disneydream/minisite/

However, a newer version of the deck plan does not list them as accessible. This echoes some feedback given by castmembers when people have called to ask about them.
http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-cruise-line/dream-fantasy-deck-plan.htm

The rooms still look like they will be big and wide, just something caused DCL to remove the accessible notation. I'm wondering if the doorway into the room is just too tight to give clearance for a chair after they did all the final finishing or something else. The doorways on 8682/8164 and the corners on deck 7 look pretty open.

Andreas posted some XXL pictures, and we are able to get a good view of the flagpole with the cables, etc. in place so you can judge possible blockage (except for seeing an actual flag in place.)

From an XXL picture that Andreas posted, you can see more of what is going on with the aft verandah dividers.
