Is anyone on the Dream right now? How did a girl fall overboard?

I would never talk to the police without counsel if being investigated. I would never talk to the FBI for any reason.

Apparently, both parents are lawyers themselves.

A mother who accidentally let her daughter fall off a Disney cruise ship before her husband leapt off it to save the youngster has been identified.

Michelle Sapp and her husband Keegan, both 37-year-old lawyers, were celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary about the Disney Dream with daughter Elliana in June, when tragedy almost struck between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale.

The Daily Mail revealed this week that Michelle told her daughter to climb on to a 44in railing below an open porthole to pose for a photo.

Interesting....in earlier reports, Disney denied the mother was taking a photo and said the girl wandered off....and now this is being reported as the mom was having her pose for a photo......which is what others on the ship were reporting.....and Disney denied.

I don’t think DCL officially denied (or confirmed) anything other than there had been a MOB incident and successful rescue. Maybe a random CM commented, and there was a lot of conjecture and speculation by other passengers as well as the general public.

Anyone authorized to make official statements on behalf of Disney would never be allowed to say something that specific before a full investigation.

I am specifically referring to earlier articles on the incident....those said Disney denied the mother was taking a photo. I should have added that extra word.

Especially since it was all caught on the security camera video.

Turns out Disney has more experience with this kind of thing than we do.
