[edit] Future
Disney Cruise Lines announced on February 22, 2007 that two new ships are to be added in 2011 and 2012.[14] The ships are being built by Meyer Werft shipyard, based in Papenburg, Germany; the first steel cut, made in March 2009, was for a portion of the scrollwork that will decorate the exterior of the vessels.[15] Later that same month, the ships were officially named: Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.[15] They will be 330 m (1,080 ft) long and 37 m (121 ft) wide. These newest 128,000-ton ships will be 2 decks taller than the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder and will have 1,250 staterooms each.[16]Disney Cruise Line has negotiated with the Port Canaveral port authority and has extended their contract for 15 more years, through 2022.[17] As part of this contract, the port authority will expand and upgrade the dock in order to accommodate the new ships (both of which will be home-ported there), the terminal will be enlarged to accommodate more passengers and luggage, and finally a parking garage will be built by 2011.[18]
Both new ships are planned to depart from Port Canaveral until at least 2014.[15] With the arrival of the Disney Dream in 2011, the Disney Wonder will be relocated to Los Angeles.[19] The arrangement will be for two years, with a potential extension for three additional years.[19]
