When we entered the Innoventions complex, we were greeted by a short electronic musical instruments demonstration. Then we were directed to the “front door” of the Dream Home. Once there, we were greeted by “Mrs. Elias,” the matriarch of the Disney Dream Home. She gave us an introduction to the house and some of its key features and invited us in to explore.

As we followed “mom” through the house, she gave a demonstration in each room. I loved the talking cookbook, the dining room table where you can “shake” the pictures our of your phone, the mirror that lets you see how your clothes look before you put them on, but most of all I loved the Peter Pan room. This would have been my dream room as a child… and admittedly my dream room now… a room that comes to life when you open a story book. When “mom” started reading the story of Peter Pan, projections, lighting and sound effects all combined to bring the story off of the pages and into the room. There was even a shimmering Tinker Bell stuck in the dresser drawer.

We spent a long time in the Dream Home, exploring each technological wonder and taking lots of pictures! If this were a real house, it seems that it would be akin to living in a Disney fantasy world… and that’s something I could get used to!
