Here's another pic of them adding the Disney Dream's bridge module (taken before Celebrity Eclipse was floated out). Maybe Disney changed their mind and we'll get updates every week or so now? It appears most of the assembled modules from the first stack forward are all already in place?

Cool video. I enjoyed it!
The current placement of the Disney Dream that far forward in the builders shed seems like it would not allow the Silhouette to begin unless Dream is floated back towards the main hall exit door. You can see in the picture comparisons below that the Disney Dream is a goods distance away from that main exit door as compared to earlier constrcution of the Equinox.
My question is, does anyone know if there is any intention of floating the Dream backwards to allow the Silhouette to begin construction?

Webcam grab today of Disney Dream, notice the large gap between her stern and the exit door compared to when Equinox was being built

It looks like what they have on the Wonder and Magic. :/
I guess you can say it was innovative back in 1999 when the current twins were launched since the designed were unique then, but I think everybody who knows that the Dream is being built expected the same style of design with it being a Disney ship.
It does look good though.

As part of my boring life I look at webcams all night long at work and when I get home in the morning for several hours. I took webcam grabs off of theMeyerWerft Site that updates about every 15 seconds. When it doesnt update, or is facing out towards the parking lot, usually something is going on inside they don't want you to see, like adding modules or actually moving the ship. The two webcam grabs above were taken within 24 hours of each other. PS...WELCOME TO CRUISE TALK crn400ex!

Not innovative at all up to the 1910's passenger liners where stern and bow sections where decorated this way. Let alone Tall ships up to the 1930's have this sort of decorations. But It's very nice Disney restart this tradition by adding this kind of decorations to there ships. Love it very much.
I wonder if they have Goofy painting the decorations as on the Magic & Wonder?

By looking at the stern photograph, where you can see the mounting and supports for the figures, and the photograph, there appears to be a third broomstick just to the port side of the name scroll. That will be very cool indeed...
