A sneak preview of Disney Dream’s new entertainment…


Disney Cruise Line is pulling out all the stops with a fresh, characteristically lavish production, ‘Disney’s Believe,’ for the new Disney Dream. There are more than 20 Disney characters and the elaborate stagecraft includes 300 costumes and new projection technology. Genie from ‘Aladdin’ plays a key role, Mary Poppins makes an appearance and Peter Pan is not the only character who flies. It all combines into what will be the grand finale production that packs an emotional punch with the story of a workaholic scientist who comes to believe in magic through the amazing events on the day of his daughter’s birthday. ‘Disney’s Believe’ joins two other shows in the 1,340-seat Walt Disney Theatre: ‘Villains Tonight!,’ which premiered last spring on the classic DCL ships, and ‘The Golden Mickeys,’ with ‘new glitz and glamour’ for Disney Dream.

For Disney Dream, the line is also tweaking its pirate deck party, a once-per-cruise extravaganza that culminates with fireworks. The newly segmented event kicks off in the early evening with ‘Mickey’s Pirates,’ aimed at children, capped by ‘Buccaneer Blast,’ with an enhanced pyrotechnic show. Starting at around 10 p.m., Club Pirate will be ‘an edgier, more adult party,’ with an appearance by Capt. Jack Sparrow from Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films.
