Well the long wait is almost over. The Disney Dream is being built right now as we read, and a new announcement the other day gave us a teaser of some of the features the Dream will have when she sails.

How about the First Ever Ship-board water coaster.

Or maybe the Virtual Porthole, all inside staterooms offer a "window" to the world with a real-time view outside the ship using high-definition cameras. Observe the view, or glimpse a magical surprise: animated characters like Mickey Mouse may pop by the Virtual Porthole.

Living Characters - In youth spaces, Disney Characters come to life and interact with children in one-of-a-kind experiences. Crush, the animated sea turtle from the Disney•Pixar motion picture "Finding Nemo," or the mischievous animated alien Stitch make scheduled appearances to chat, play and joke with kids in live, unrehearsed conversations.

And there is a lot more.

I do not know about you, but I cannot wait.

Keep checking back for more.
