Disney Dream Christening Highlights - Jan. 19, 2011

With a dash of Disney magic and a surprising twist, a helicopter hoisted a 16-foot "champagne bottle" across the bow of the Disney Dream during a christening ceremony Jan. 19, 2011, officially welcoming the newest ship to the Disney Cruise Line family.

Serving the traditional role of godmother for the Disney Dream christening was Jennifer Hudson, the Academy Award and Grammy Award winner whose own dreams of stardom began when she was a performer on the Disney Wonder ship in 2003.

Hudson was joined onstage by Disney CEO Bob Iger and Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs, as the enormous "champagne bottle" filled with dreams of adventure, romance and fun was lifted into the air and broken across the bow of the 130,000-ton ship.

Some 3,000 people were gathered at the Disney Dream for the christening ceremony including celebrities, media and members of the public.
