Hi Cindy,
I'm so excited for you! Your first Disney cruise is going to be amazing...but be careful! They are very addicting...I'm usually planning my next one before I even get off the ship.
You are two decks above where a lot of the action is. The 5th floor is where the Oceaneer Club and Lab, It's A Small World Nursery, Buena Vista Theatre and Vibe are located. More action starts on Deck 11 through Deck 14, so I'd say that you're actually on a very good floor. Central to where most of the activities are held.
You can actually check out your exact room location by going to
www.disneycruise.com and searching under the tab that says "Ships & Activities", then choose the Disney Dream. When you go to the bottom of the video that is playing you'll see a tab that says "Deck Plan". You'll be able to enter your stateroom number to see exactly where it's located. On the far right of the page you can click on the different deck numbers to see what is located and where. You can even find the stairs and elevators.
I really hope this helps Cindy. Please let me know if you have any other questions. thanks for visiting the Moms Panel. Bon voyage!
