Today was another day at sea and we sure needed it as a chill day! If you want to best enjoy your cruise, let me help so I can find an itinerary that includes fun and relaxation! We started off with brunch at Palo! While that is an added cost, it is 100% worth it. The amount of food that was brought to our table was unreal. After that, we just chilled for a bit. Some napped, some laid pool side and some explored the ship with shopping and character encounters. I was able to enjoy a dance party with Mickey and all his friends, do a little shopping, eat a pastry from the coffee bar, and even ran into Mulan. I also watched some golf in the atrium lobby! Tonight was formal night so we got all dressed up, took some pics around the ship and then had dinner at Enchanted Garden. We finished off the night watching an amazing mind reader and then participating in Silent Disco in the 18+ lounge!

Day 3, yesterday was Pirate day on board our Disney Cruise. We started the day porting at Cozumel and visiting one of our favorite places, Paradise Beach. This is an all inclusive day pass resort where you are practically met with drinks and food. We sat poolside all day and enjoyed so many yummy things. We then headed back to rest and get ready for our Pirate themed dinner at Enchanted Garden. We have had so much fun and are ready to kick off day 4!

03/03/2025

Trying to get caught up on my posts and pictures! Yesterday (day 2) was a first for me. Our sailing has a Marvel Day At Sea so we had a chance for some fun encounters with characters, special Marvel themed food and snacks, and a fun deck show with fireworks.

03/02/2025

Day 1 has been all about just getting to know the ship. Getting to the port and onto the ship was super easy. We headed straight for some food then the girls found the pool. Our rooms were ready quickly and our bags arrived shortly after. We had front row seats for the sail away party too!! Tonight’s dinner was at Animator’s Palate where we hung with Crush! We ended the night with Madisyn singing karaoke in the D-lounge!

Day 5 of 7 things I love about Disney Cruise Line!

Why I LOVE the Kids’ Clubs on Disney Cruise Line! 🚢✨

One of my absolute favorite things about Disney Cruise Line is their amazing kids’ clubs! Whether you’re sailing with little ones, tweens, or teens, Disney has created the ultimate onboard experience designed just for them. And let’s be honest—happy kids mean happy parents! 😉

Here’s why I love Disney’s kids’ clubs:

🎨 Incredible Theming & Activities – These aren’t just playrooms; they’re immersive Disney worlds where kids can train with the Avengers, explore Andy’s Room, or even pilot the Millennium Falcon! The level of detail is pure Disney magic. ✨

👩‍🎤 Super Engaging Counselors – Disney’s highly trained Youth Counselors keep kids entertained and engaged with creative activities, character interactions, and special events. They make every child feel special!

📵 Safe, Secure & Screen-Free Fun – Disney’s secure check-in/check-out system ensures kids are always safe. And with so many hands-on activities, they won’t even miss their screens!

✨ Guilt-Free Parent Time – Whether it’s a romantic dinner at Palo or Remy, a relaxing spa treatment, or just some quiet time on deck, you can enjoy your vacation knowing your kids are having the time of their lives.

From Disney’s Oceaneer Club (ages 3-10) to the Edge (tweens) and Vibe (teens) lounges, there’s a perfect space for every age to make friends, have fun, and create lifelong memories.

Have your kids experienced Disney’s kids’ clubs? What was their favorite part? Let me know in the comments! ⛵✨

Day 4 of 7 reasons I love Disney Cruise Line is the rotational dining.

What is Rotational Dining on a Disney Cruise? ✨🚢

One of the unique perks of sailing with Disney Cruise Line is Rotational Dining—a dining experience unlike any other at sea! 🍽️✨

Each night of your cruise, you’ll rotate through three uniquely themed restaurants, experiencing different atmospheres and menus. But here’s the best part—your serving team rotates with you! That means your dedicated waitstaff will follow you from restaurant to restaurant, getting to know your preferences and making sure every meal is magical. 🌟

No matter which ship you sail on, Rotational Dining ensures you experience the best of Disney’s signature service and storytelling every night.

Pro Tip: You can request a specific rotation or dining time before your cruise, and dietary needs are always accommodated with Disney’s top-notch service!

Day 3 of 7 things I love about Disney Cruise Line!

Magical Moments at Sea: Character Sightings on a Disney Cruise! 🚢✨

One of the most exciting parts of a Disney Cruise is how effortlessly you can meet your favorite characters! Unlike the theme parks, where character meet-and-greets often require long waits, on a Disney Cruise, magical encounters happen around every corner.

🎭 Sailing Into Fun – Spot Mickey and Minnie in their nautical outfits as they wave from the upper decks or join a deck party celebration!

🌊 Poolside Surprises – You might catch Goofy in his swim gear strolling near the pools or see Donald Duck enjoying the ocean breeze.

🌀 Atrium Magic – The grand atrium is a prime spot for character appearances, whether it’s a royal gathering with Disney princesses or Pluto stopping by for surprise hugs.

🎉 Themed Nights – Get ready for special interactions during Pirate Night, Marvel Day at Sea, and Star Wars Day at Sea—where characters dress in their best adventure outfits!

🍽️ Character Dining – Enjoy breakfast with Mickey and friends or an enchanting meal with Disney princesses—no extra planning needed!

👑 Kids’ Club Encounters – At the Oceaneer Club, kids can hang out with characters like Spider-Man, Belle, or Captain America in a more relaxed, interactive setting.

✨ Whether you’re walking to dinner or lounging on deck, Disney magic is always around you on a Disney Cruise. Have your camera ready—you never know who you’ll run into!

One week from today my daughter and I will be boarding the Disney Dream! In honor of that, I am going to highlight 7 days of things I love about Disney Cruise Line.

Todays spotlight—Spacious staterooms!✨

One of the best-kept secrets of Disney Cruise Line is just how spacious and family-friendly their staterooms are! Unlike many cruise cabins that can feel cramped, Disney designs their rooms with comfort and convenience in mind.

🌟 Larger Than Industry Standard – Disney staterooms are up to 25% larger than comparable cruise line rooms, giving you more space to relax.

🛏️ Split Bathroom Design – A Disney-exclusive feature! Many staterooms have a split bathroom, with a sink and shower in one section and a toilet and second sink in another—perfect for families getting ready.

👜 Plenty of Storage – With under-bed storage, large closets, and extra shelving, you’ll have room to unpack and unwind.

🏡 Variety of Staterooms – From cozy interior rooms to spacious verandahs and luxurious concierge suites, there’s a perfect option for every family.

✨ Magical Touches – Whether it’s dreamy nautical theming, hidden Mickeys, or the signature Disney service, your stateroom is designed to be both comfortable and enchanting.
