BETAMOUSE #28 – Disney Dream Tech

This week Team Betamouse discusses the new and innovative technology on the yet to launch Disney Cruise Line ship the Disney Dream! We’re sorry about the audio on this one folks!

The Panel watches a video posted on the Disney Parks Blog that demonstrates some of the fantastic new technology on board the Disney Dream and then weighs in with their thoughts. Make sure to watch the video before listening to the show if you can!

Special thanks to listener Damien Zoomers for sending this our way!

Some of the new technology includes:

  • The interactive magic play floor for kids.
  • A Turtle Talk with Crush like experience.
  • Virtual portholes.
  • Interactive art.
  • The AquaDuck.

The Panel discusses the positives and negatives to each addition such as:

  • The technological advances of the play floor.
  • How the Turtle Talk with Crush show will interact with guests on the ship.
  • Are the virtual portholes cheesy?
  • How will guests interact with the art on the ship and will the technology be outdated too soon?
