| Disney Dream was floated out of Meyer Werft's
covered building dock Saturday evening (October 30, 2010) at the
Papenburg (Germany) yard. At 128,000 tons, it is the largest passenger
ship ever built at Meyer Werft or at any yard in Germany. Disney Dream
is scheduled to leave the yard for its precarious conveyance down the
Ems River in two weeks for sea trials. Disney Dream will enter service
on January 26, 2011. |

| The unusual evening float out (they are
usually scheduled for just after dawn) was to accommodate some special
Disney flair - a fireworks display over the ship lighting up the
Papenburg sky. |

|
| Yep. Disney has arrived at Meyer Werft. |
