Welcome aboard, Jeff! I'm thrilled for your family to set sail this December for what is sure to be one very magical adventure at sea with
Disney Cruise Line! The
Disney Dream is a wonderful ship that offers something for everyone, so each and every member of your family is in for the cruise of their lives!
The pulldown beds do have rails, and those should be set up by your stateroom host the first night when he or she sets up the beds for the evening. If not, just simply ask, and they'll be happy to attach rails to it for you. It's funny that you ask about the character sheets, because I've sailed with Disney for many years, on so many sailings and never knew anything about character sheets. However, last week, I was on a Mother-Daughter cruise with my 11 year-old daughter, and one night we returned to our stateroom to find that our sweet stateroom hostess had made my daughter's bed up with princess sheets as a surprise! What a treat! It was so kind of her to surprise my daughter like that! I can't guarantee that you can get character sheets, but once you meet your stateroom host that first day as you're getting settled, it doesn't hurt to ask! Perhaps they will be able to surprise your little one with something similar, but if not, just know that there is so much magic onboard, your kids are going to be having the time of their lives!
Happy planning, Jeff, and please let us know if we can help with any other questions as you continue to count down to the big cruise date!
