I remember the Dream was lie on a webcam, and I think that this is the link for it. At the moment the camera is pointing at the dock behind the covered bldg, that the Fantasy is in.

truck1 Posted January 6, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The Fantasy float out has been changed. It is now Jan 8th 1pm MW time. Not sure on the reason of the delay, though someone posted on a different board that there has been severe weather in the area, and that may have had an affect.

Dji77n Posted January 8, 2012 #20 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Greetings from Germany, I just came back from Papenburg and the float out of the Disney Fantasy - what a great ship. Once again the yard has done a great job and the ship looks nice and huge (it's 340 meters long - whew!). My images can be seen here: http://www.album.de/album_premium.cfm?albumID=64522 I will post a video shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
