The Golden Dream ship is back on display at EPCOT's American Adventure pavilion.


The ship has been backstage for several months for refurbishment and was returned to the World Showcase lagoon a couple of weeks ago.

Totally understood. I was just trying give some credit, but I agree with you.

Gotta pay for Hulu and prop up D+ before you will see a billion dollar spend at Epcot and that's what you are asking for

Ah yes. The bare minimum. Good job Disney. :) You get a trophy. Now bulldoze Moana and focus on SSE, WoL, and Imagination. (This is not an attack at you personally. I'm just still mad at Disney till they do something big and good again.)

Glad it's back! Now if they'd just bring back the Omnibuses to World Showcase lagoon. But then, they'd have to remove some food booth stands to make space.

Just for looks.

Beautiful ship! Thank you so much for posting!

Can you go onto it, or just see it from the dock?

I love to see this! This is the attention to detail I admire. Disney could have simply deleted this but they didn't. When Disney does something I dislike I am quick to complain, but I will also call out when they do something good. Well done Disney!

Not a stupid question at all! The “ship” is made of aluminum, plastic, and styrofoam, built on a custom made floating dock. It’s not “real” but a very detailed replica of an historical sloop.

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but is it actually floating? Or is it just placed on a pad under the water?
