The girl went overboard from Deck 4 on Sunday, June 29, as the Disney Dream was heading back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from The Bahamas. The child's fall occurred around 11:30 a.m.

The little girl who fell overboard on a recent Disney Dream cruise, prompting her father to dive in and save her ... was, in fact, sitting on the railing before the almost tragic incident.

Florida authorities are investigating how a 5-year-old girl and her father ended up overboard on a Disney cruise ship. Both were rescued safely after falling into the ocean.
