A few announcements were made yesterday by Disney Cruise Line. Below we’ll summarise the announcements and provide links to further information.

New Outlook Cafe

To prepare for the Alaska sailings, a brand-new venue called Outlook Café will be added to the Disney Wonder during dry dock in October. Located high atop deck 10, the 2,500-square-foot Outlook Café is a stylish retreat for guests to relax and enjoy a beverage or cocktail as they peer out through floor-to-ceiling, curved glass windows at breathtaking vistas. The design of Outlook Café is sophisticated with contemporary Art Deco inspiration. An elegant spiral staircase connects Outlook Café with the existing Cove Café one deck below. The 65-seat lounge has a granite-topped cocktail bar with comfortable seating throughout the space, all providing picture-perfect views of the surrounding landscapes.

Staterooms Recategorized

As DCL prepare to launch the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy over the next two years, they are recategorizing the staterooms on the Disney Magic® and Disney Wonder® for sailings in 2011. Not only will the expanded stateroom categories provide consistency with the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, they will more accurately reflect the stateroom features and location, which allows Guests to better chose the stateroom that fits their needs.

Disney Dream

The new 2011 itineraries for the Disney Dream will be announced on October 29 at a press event in New York City.
