Disney Dream vs Fantasy: What Actually Matters Before You Book
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
They're sister ships. They look the same. They have a similar size, similar layout. They're not quite the same experience right now
The old conventional wisdom was pretty simple, right. Dream equal short trip, Fantasy equal longer trip. Yep. And that's just not accurate anymore.
First Disney cruise, family with younger kids, you just want to dip your toe into the Disney cruise world and see if it's for you, Fantasy is a great ship
The Dream is just a little bit older. But she's the older sister. She came out in 2011, Fantasy came out in 2012, but they're both really really well maintained.
