I'll give you an A for effort, but it does feel odd considering that it will be the first ship that Disney acquired. Is there time for them to change the blueprints so the ship can at least look a bit more like the other DCL fleet?

Likely yes. When the fantasy was under construction, they changed structural elements of that ship to reflect feedback They were getting pretty strongly from the Disney Dream about its pool decks. Things like satellite falls debuted on the fantasy which would later be retrofitted under the dream when it went into dry dock. So yes, there's time to make changes. Whether or not all that happens or not is totally up in the air, but is it possible, sure.

Disney has joined the jumbo ship game. Interested to see what they put on board, as this could be VERY different to their other ships, simply due to the sheer size.

Yeah you can't feed 6,000 people in 3 dining rooms with two seatings each.

It's pretty amazing how important a paint job can be. This is the first mega-ship I've seen that I would consider not-ugly.
