Memory 218 – Boarding the Disney Dream

Take a virtual audio trip in this installment of the WDW-Memories podcast as we enjoy our first magical memory from the Disney Dream. In this memory, you will join my family as we arrive at Port Canaveral, board the Disney Dream, and tour around the ship for a bit at the start of our 5 day, 4 night cruise.

Well hello and welcome to the WDW-Memories Podcast where together we relive that Walt Disney World Magic. My name is Lou and I’ll once again be your host on this magical adventure.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on YouTube recently as I plan for our upcoming trip. That’s right, we’ve booked the hotel already and are super excited. I’ve been showing the kids videos of attractions they haven’t ridden yet because they were too small to ride, or the scary nature would possibly leave them scarred for life. Yes, it’ll take the fun of watching them experience something for the very first time, but it’ll hopefully save me time when trying to convince them they can do things like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. In any case, more on that later. Today, we’re starting a new series of memories.

Today we’ll be starting a special series of memories from my trip aboard the Disney Dream in September of 2018. It’s a bit out of the ordinary for a Walt Disney World focused podcast, but I wanted to share something that I’m not sure other podcasts have shared yet. Yes, this series used to be in the bonus episodes, but I couldn’t stand it. I really wanted to share this will all of you, so I dropped the tier that got the bonus episodes, so I could bring this audio to all of you.

This first episode in the series will contain a collection of short memories, highlighting the moment we arrive at the port and board the Disney Dream. We’ll begin with the approach of the port and the experience the excitement as we crest an overpass and see the ship for the very first time. We’ll jump ahead to arriving at the port and begin unloading the luggage with the handler. Then we’ll jump ahead to inside the terminal as we wait for our boarding group (9) to be called. Finally, it’s our turn as we board the ship, and explore the atrium for a bit before taking the elevators to Deck 11 for some lunch at Cabanas.

If you’ve never experienced the Disney Dream, it is truly magical. It’s kind of like staying on property at Walt Disney World, but to a whole other level. The cast and crew are all top notch. The food is exceptional (and all included). The shows are almost Broadway caliber. And your rooms, though small, are outstanding and offer exceptional views. Then you add into all that the fact that you’ll visit beautiful and exotic places each day, and you can see how cruising can be so  much fun.

Finally, I wanted to point out this recording is the first time using the new microphones. If you like the way they sound and want to say “Thank you Lou for upgrading before your next trip”, head on over to the support page where you can find links to donate to the show. I’m really excited to take them on my trip in September, and recording things like Pandora, or all the new things in Epcot, ooh, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge so I can share all that audio with all of you. So just head over to WDW-Memories.net/Support to see how you can help out the show. Every little bit helps, and I am so grateful for your support.

Today’s memory is in binaural once again, so I’d suggest putting those headphones on to fully immerse yourself in the memory.

Now join my family as we arrive at Port Canaveral, board the Disney Dream, and tour around the ship for a bit at the start of our 5 day, 4 night cruise.
