Our last cruise day had arrived and everyone but me took the opportunity to sleep in. The boys have been going full steam from sun up to sun down and I have never seen them sleep in so late. We finally got everyone upright and ready to go and we headed to breakfast one last time at Cabanas. We art… Read more »
As I awoke on day four I had my fingers crossed as I approached our curtains hoping when I pulled them back I would see clear skies over Castaway Cay, and I did! I lightly encouraged the troops to get their butts out of bed because it was beach or bust today. I am sure this will come as a… Read more »
Day three on the Disney Dream was yet another perfect day on the ship. When we awoke we were still making our way to the island of Nassau in the Bahamas. Due to the fact that we made the most out of the first two days everyone was quite tired and not chomping at the bit to spring out of bed… Read more »
I would argue there is no better place in the world to wake up than Castaway Cay. Even though the weather was a bit overcast it still was truly awesome to be docked at the amazing island. Emily was smart and had ordered a few things from room service to help tide us over until breakfast (only on a cruise… Read more »
Today was the day we had been looking forward to for a while – Disney Dream embarkation day for our 5 day cruise to the Bahamas! Emily did her usual amazing job getting us packed and prepared for five days of fun and sun at sea. We spent the morning locating and crossing off items on her laminated packing lists… Read more »
I am sure it comes as no surprise that Saturday is by far my favorite day of the week. Today was no exception. We started the day with our weekly visit to Brooklyn Water Bagels in Winter Park which I mentioned in my post from last weekend. Sawyer and I got our regular orders and enjoyed our drive across town together…. Read more »
As we awoke to our human alarm clock, the cruise ship was making it’s final crawl to Disney’s private island Castaway Cay. We were all very excited about this stop because everyone I had talked to, including Emily, said it is one of the most beautiful places around. They all could not have been more correct. As we approached the… Read more »
As with most of our vacations with Hunter, we found ourselves awakened by our personal rooster before the sun had a chance to rear its head. But this time around, Emily and I had already resigned ourselves to the schedule that is Hunter-driven! We all got showered and dressed, then made our way to the Beach Blanket Buffet, grabbed some… Read more »
Today, we excitedly departed our house in Orlando and made the 40 minute drive to Cape Canaveral to board Hunter’s and my first cruise. As we made our way to the Cape we commented on how lucky we were to live so close to the port to take advantage of vacation deals when they arise. Hunter had been prepped over… Read more »
Although Emily is not a huge fan of the beach (even though she grew up in Sarasota, FL…????), she agreed to appease Hunter and I and accompany us to the beach. I have been known to go to the beach on occasion without much preparation and just walk and enjoy the day. Well, those of you who know Emily know… Read more »
