From the flying the flag department:

There is officially a mouse in the house at Meyer Werft at Papenburg (Germany). Disney Cruise Line set up an office at the German yard this week in preparation for the construction of their two new ships.

The company is now in the design and development phase of the two ships which will be delivered sometime in 2011 and 2012. The only details which have been released so far are that the ships will be sized at 124,000 tons and have 1,250 staterooms, which will triple the line's capacity.

To mark the occasion, Disney presented the yard with one of their official company flags which will fly at the yard's entrance for the next five years while the Disney ships are being delivered.
