I doubt Disney will be taking names for the ships from this forum (although a name the ship contest would be a great publicity campaign...

But what names would you like to see Disney consider?

We know they already used Disney Magic & Disney Wonder...

I was thinking:
- Disney Dream
& Disney Wish
so... let's hear your names...

I say Disney Dream and Imagination (eventhough, Carnival has a Dream).

They still work nicely.

Or, they could be the Disney Cutback and Disney Stockholder Bottom Line.

Who knows?

CELEBRATION, Fla. (March 10, 2009) â€“ Today at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Walt Disney Company, Disney announced the names of the company's 2 new cruise ships.

"Last week, steel cutting began on our next two Disney cruise ships. Today I'm pleased to announce their names," said Robert A. Iger, Disney president and CEO. "The Disney Dream will set sail in 2011, while the Disney Fantasy will hit the high seas in 2012."

Similar to the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, the names were chosen to celebrate Disney's unique heritage of creating enchanting places and stories where dreams really do come true.

"The names are very telling of our brand and are part of our history," said Karl Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line and New Vacation Operations. "Disney is known for making dreams come true, and for creating worlds of fantasy that go beyond the imagination. The names are a natural choice for our ships."

As noted, Disney Cruise Line began construction on the new ships with a steel-cutting ceremony at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The first piece of steel cut was part of the Art- Deco-inspired scrollwork that will grace the bow of the ships. Similar to the scrollwork on the existing Disney Cruise Line ships, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, the intricate pattern is reminiscent of the classic ocean liners of the 1930s, with added touches of Disney whimsy.

Since finalizing a contract with the Meyer Werft shipyard to build the 2 new ships, Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering have created a truly distinctive design. Over the next few years, construction will continue, bringing the design to reality, with the Disney Dream scheduled for delivery in 2011 and the Disney Fantasy in 2012.

The new ships will be purposely built with families in mind, with specially designed areas and activities for each member of the family to allow for both quality time together and wonderful individual experiences. The focus is to provide a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge and kids can immerse themselves in worlds only Disney can create.

The expansion will more than double the passenger capacity for Disney Cruise Line. Each ship will have 1,250 staterooms and will weigh 128,000 tons.

Dream is great, Fantasy works well. At least it's not S.S. Georgie...

One of the new ships will feature a water coaster that will actually extend out past the sides of the ship! Check out the video and other features of the ship here: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2009/10/disney-cruise-line-ride-the-aquaduck/
