Tag Archives: Disney Magic Marvel Cruise 2019

To celebrate Sawyer’s 7th birthday, along with our newly found love of all things Marvel, we booked a five night Disney Marvel Day at Sea cruise out of Miami.  Below is a brief summary of each of the days of our cruise with links to the full blog posts with photos and more!

In order to ensure that we could maximize our time on the ship, we booked a hotel in Miami the night before embarkation.  Our travel day was relatively uneventful as we made the roughly four hour drive from Orlando to Miami.  Emily had picked out a Tiki type restaurant that we stopped at for dinner which provided quite the amusing start to our vacation.

We awoke on embarkation day and discovered Hunter had a case of the nerves and ended up throwing up a few times in the morning.  This of course had us quite concerned thinking that he we be sick and we would be in quarantine on the ship.  Luckily a short morning nap fixed him up and he was feeling 100%.  The remainder of embarkation day was a blast and we were excited to be on the Disney Magic.  We also enjoyed the picturesque view of the Port of Miami out the back of the ship.  Be sure to check out our photos from the embarkation day post as well as read more of our adventures.

Our first port of call was Key West, Fl where we got off the ship and enjoyed a day of exploration.   We had breakfast at this quaint restaurant called Blue Heaven, followed by a walking tour.  From the Southernmost Point, to the entire length of Duval St., we took in as much of Key West as our legs could handle.  We capped it off with a frozen key lime bar from Kermit’s before returning to the ship for some evening fun.  

We followed up our busy day in Key West with a chill, ship day, when the Disney Magic was docked at Nassau, Bahamas.  We enjoyed some time on the water slides in the morning, followed by exploring the ship.  We got our popcorn and headed to Wreck it Ralph Breaks the Internet in the afternoon.  The boys hit up the Oceaneer Club in the evening and Emily and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Palo.

Quite possibly the most magical day of the cruise came at Disney’s Private Island of Castaway Cay.  On embarkation day we put in for the waiting list for a private beach cabana at Castaway.  As luck would have it we got selected and it made this magical island even more magical.  We savored every last minute from all ashore to all aboard.
