Disney Cruise
Line Announces "Disney Dream"
The
Disney Dream will take family cruising to all-new heights, embracing the
spirit of innovation, magical family entertainment and immersive experiences
that have made Disney Cruise Line the preeminent cruise of choice for
families since 1998. A first-of-its kind water coaster will send guests
racing above the upper decks of the ship. An animated turtle that engages in
conversation about life in the ocean. A sophisticated lounge where the sun
sets over the skyline of a different world-famous city each night. When the
Disney Dream debuts in early 2011, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line
fleet will bring to life these innovations and more.

Sum of all
Thrills Opens @ Innoventions
The
first-ever Innoventions ride at Epcot Theme Park, The Sum of all Thrills,
presented by Raytheon, has officially opened to the public. You innovate and
then experience the creation in a state-of-the-art robotic simulator. Three
vehicle choices appear at each design station: a roller coaster, bobsled or
jet. Using a multi-touch, object recognition table, you use tools such as
rulers and speed dials to design a ride. After designing, the information is
saved on a special card. The card is then swiped at a “launch station” and
your creative work is instantly uploaded to the simulator which you ride in.
