Glad to hear this. My wife and I have cruised many times (mainly on Princess) and have always had a balcony that we've taken advantage of, but we've been leaning towards an inside stateroom with the kids - both for cost saving measures and also safety. I love the Dream and Fantasy animated portholes with Disney characters swimming around... I think my kids will like this a lot more than looking out a window, actually.
Though, the so-called "mini suites" on Dream and Fantasy look pretty cool...
