2 Stranded People are Rescued by the Disney Dream
Two people are getting a free Disney cruise, but not by doing anything the easy way. The cruise ship the Disney Dream received a distress call from a small boat with two people stranded in the middle of the ocean.
The Dream launched a lifeboat and was able to bring the two stranded people aboard. Both rescued passengers needed food, water and non-life threatening medical attention but both are expected to be okay. The ship returned to Port Canaveral on Thursday with the two rescued on board.
I have so many questions for these two but unfortunately, no one is talking yet. Hopefully we will hear more about this story! I am sure the two rescued were very thankful to see a Disney Cruise ship, just like we all are!

Disney Wonder Hosts First-Call Ceremony in Miami, Marking Inaugural Season
Disney Cruise Line hosted local port officials and community leaders onboard the 2,700 passenger Disney Wonder for a plaque exchange ceremony today. These ceremonies are a maritime tradition and an opportunity for the Captain and the ship’s officers to celebrate the inaugural call on a new port, as well as for local officials and leaders to welcome the ship and guests to the community. This is the first time a Disney ship will have a regional homeport in southern Florida, allowing families from this area to take advantage of departing from a port close to their own backyard.
“We are excited to be in Miami for our inaugural season, sailing from southern Florida for the first time. Miami is an iconic port of call, recognized for its exciting blend of cultural influences, and is very appealing to our guests,” said Disney Cruise Line Captain Thord Haugen. “While in port, families can enjoy vibrant regional cuisine, pastel skyscrapers, South Beach and eclectic shopping.”
Disney Cruise Line will sail from Miami on a variety of four- and five-night itineraries to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Ports of call include Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; Key West; Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. In April 2013, the Disney Wonder will return to the West Coast and resume Alaskan sailings from Vancouver. Her sister ship, the Disney Magic, will sail three, four- and five-night itineraries from Miami beginning in October 2013. In 2014, the Disney Wonder will return to Miami to sail on four-night Bahamian and five-night Western Caribbean cruises from January through May.
