Disney Dream Removes Nemo’s Reef Coral, Replaces Flooring After Toddler’s Injury

Disney has provided no public explanation or scope for the update.

Overview

  • Courtney Livingston’s new video from a return trip on the Disney Dream shows the coral-shaped play piece removed and the splash pad resurfaced.
  • Her young son previously fell from that structure and broke his femur on an earlier cruise, and Disney later gave the family a complimentary sailing.
  • News outlets reported the visible changes after her post, and Disney Cruise Line has not issued a public comment.
  • It remains unclear whether the removal is permanent or whether the identical Nemo’s Reef on the Disney Fantasy has been updated.
  • Nemo’s Reef is a water play area for children four and under with required parental supervision, and Disney has made other safety tweaks before, including porthole railing changes after a separate child fall last fall.
