| Ship: Disney Dream | Stateroom: 8520 | Condition: 5 |
| Deck: 8 | Category: 7A | Location: Forward |
| Sail Date: 06/01/12 |
Notes: Very Quiet, like being in a soundproof room. Not much hall traffic. Exiting the elevator into the adult area on deck 11 was nice. Kids can pass through the adults only area on the way to and from the elevators on deck 11. Forward elevators are not used nearly as much as the mid elevators. Theatre down 5 decks, so getting to the shows was easy. Verandah is normal size, partially obscured, but sitting down in the chairs you hardly notice. It is nice having the wind shield on really windy nights. Verandah is private - nobody can see into it from another deck. |

| Sail Date: 07/02/06 |
Notes: Four people fit easily, the verrandah was amazing, we were very close to an elevator but it was easy to walk up a flight of stairs to the pools and resturants. Its also close to the suits and we got a peek into one Roy O. Disney Suite |

| Deck: 8 | Category: 4 | Location: Mid |
| Sail Date: 12/18/05 |
Notes: We thought our room was great. No noise. Very convenient to just about everything. Could see us leaving the docks in Florida and docking at Castaway Cay. Perfect view. Room size was great -- especially the beds. Bigger than we thought for a stateroom. |
| Ship: Disney Magic | Stateroom: 8520 | Condition: 5 |
| Deck: 8 | Category: 4 | Location: Forward |
| Sail Date: 12/03/05 |
Notes: Loved the room! Wonderful being so conviently close to the elevators - and no additional noise because of that - the elevators and passengers were quiet, plus this room is directly under the quieter adult pool area. The only noise was very quiet early in the mornings - the sounds came from above - they must have been cleaning the decks - I was already awake - it never woke us up.
The convience of being one flight down from the pools was terrific. We skipped the elevators and always used the steps. It was especially nice to hop one flight up to the 24 hour beverage station whenever we wanted.
Families with young children may wish to stay at the back of the ship in this catagory, because those rooms are closer to the children's pool areas on the deck above and the 24 hour beverage station. We have young children and personally didn't mind the walk!
It was great being on this side of the ship because when we backed into Castaway Cay our side of the ship had the view of the island - it was exciting pulling in!
Plenty of room. We almost went with a Catagory 5 or 6. Well worth the upgrade to Catagory 4 - the extra 5 feet or so made a HUGE difference. In that 5 feet of space, we got an extra chair that we used often ... and even better than that was the shelved dresser that we could easily access ALL of our folded clothes. Otherwise, a lot of our luggage would have had to remain in our suitcases.
Our stateroom host (Darwin) was terrific! Wonderful service and extra fun towel folding!
Next time, we'll definitely chose this same room again! Enjoy 8520! |

Notes: The noise was not really a problem. We did hear some noise EARLY in the morning when the crew was moving deck chairs around above. Our room was very convienient to the Mid and Forward Elevators and Stairs. It has the best view of Castaway Cay at port. When docked in Port Canaveral, you have a view of the terminal, surrounding bridges and waterways. There was plenty of room for a family of four to feel comfortable. |
