Magical Portholes

Inside the Disney Dream, the Imagineers wanted to make sure every visitor had the same experience with having a port hole in their room.  This is included even with the rooms that are inside the ship.  If you were on the left or right side of the boat or in the captains terms, port side or starboard they could have the same view.  This is done actually pretty simply by just having a fake porthole placed in each room and then having a camera feed to the port hole which would be a live feed.  But being Disney they took that one step further and decided to make them magical.  This was done by adding a picture of a Disney character onto the video feed.  For such a new concept, it really is an easily implemented idea that can make everyone on the ship feel as though they got a full view of the outside of the ship.

  1. That's pretty sweet. Do you know the cost of this? It seems like it is kinda a waste of money but maybe it can be done for cheap.

  2. That does sound neat--my kids would love it. I wonder if it's the sort of thing that will look outdated pretty quick, but it'll probably work for now!
