The ship was heading back to Florida as part of a four-day trip to the Bahamas.
Kevin Furuta, a passenger on board the vessel, which can carry up to 3,500 travelers, claimed a girl fell from the fourth deck of the ship.
In a Facebook post, he said the child’s dad jumped into the water in a frantic bid to save his daughter.
Furuta revealed passengers heard the man overboard alarm on the ship’s loudspeaker.
A Disney Cruises official told the Fox affiliate WOFL-TV that two people were rescued from the water swiftly.
“We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes,” they said.
“We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.”
The ship has plexiglass barriers, so it remains unknown how the girl went overboard.
The Disney Dream vessel is due to dock in Florida on June 30.
It departed Fort Lauderdale on June 26 before arriving in Nassau, The Bahamas, the following morning.
The ship then toured around Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on June 28.
