Disney Cruise Line vacations from U.S. ports have not taken place in well over a year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But that is all about to change as Disney Cruise Line announced it will officially return on August 9 with the Disney Dream once again departing from Port Canaveral, Florida.
The Disney Dream recently returned from her test cruise/simulated voyage with volunteer Disney Cast Members as passengers, and now the ship is seen undergoing yet another test cruise.

Again, Disney Cruise Line is set to return on August 9 with the Disney Dream once again departing from Port Canaveral, Florida after being suspended for over a year due to the ongoing pandemic.
It has been confirmed that the Disney Dream will have enhanced health and safety measures to promote wellness for Guests and crew aboard the ship and in the destinations that Disney Cruise Line will visit.
