This was my concern before our cruise last August on the Wonder. I was very pleasantly surprised at how often I had the entire pub or coffee bar to myself. In the pub delsmom and I outnumbered the staff. The top deck was often tumbleweed city. Not a soul. The cruise was full, and the amount of personal space was a total delight. It was like the parks the day after labour day.
The Dream has more cabins, but also a lot more public space to accommodate everyone. I've no concerns about crowding there! And they even had a nice beer selection in Diversions! :D:

And remember, Disney is the only cruise line that permits you to bring your own alcohol! I brought a dozen Blue Moons, and the cabin steward kept them iced until they were no longer ! The limit seems to be what you can fit in the carry on, as you must hand carry iy. I saw people with rolling coolers boarding too!

I wonder if I could use one of their pallet movers or perhaps a fork lift...

Do you think it'll fit into the gerbil tube?

Saw an ad for Dream on TV last night that had some pretty good shots of the gerbil tube. There's a gap in the top of the tube where the riders get squirted. I wonder how long it will be before an SG tries to either stand up or figures the centrifugal force will carry them over the side of the ship if they jump out. Alcohol will be part of the decision making process.
