Let's Just Hope


In 2011 the new Disney cruise ship, The Disney Dream, will set sail. It will set sail 99 years since the Titanic voyaged out. Almost 100 years since the fate when 1,517 people died. It hit an iceberg and sank not even a week into its journey. The acclaimed, "unsinkable" sank. The stastistics of the boat are somewhat similar. Titanic's length was 882 feet, 9 inches. It could hold 3,547 people and it went 24 mph. It's height was 175 feet. It had 9 decks and weighed 46,328 tons. The Disney Dream 1,115 feet long, 4,000 passengers, 25 mph, 121 feet tall, 16 decks, and 128,000 tons. The features of the Dream are WI-FI, a flat screen TV in each room, and it's horn will be the first 7 notes of When You Wish Upon A Star. On Deck 13, Goofy's Sports Deck, there will be a 9 hole mini golf course, digital simulators that give virtual visions of soccer, tennis, basketball, and golf and a walking track around the deck. There will also be the AquaDuck, Mickey's Slide, 3 pools, and 2 mini-sized sports courts for younger children. There's full-court backetball that can be changed into soccer pitches, volleyball court, and there will be foosball & table tennis. There will be hottubs and 30 x 18 foot LCD screen facing the Donald Pool. The Titanic's features were a Verandah cafe, Turkish bath, swimming pool, gymnasium, and a squash court. Let's just hope the Disney Dream doesn't sink.
