We took an absolutely wonderful vacation in December to Disney World with our family to celebrate Joe being cancer free for 5 years. What better place to celebrate happiness and life than at Disney World with your family! So 18 of us spent 10 magical days there! What a memory! (Don't let the kids' tired faces fool ya! It was awesome! :) )
The next available time for Brad to be able to take vacation was over Spring Break, so what did we do? We booked a Disney Cruise! I tell ya, Disney has us hooked! We cruised on the Disney Magic out of Galveston, TX.
The food, staff, accommodations, activities, pools, everything was awesome! We got to see all of our favorite characters and princesses, too. There were dance parties, pirate parties, fireworks, and a trip to Cozumel, Mexico with beach time and water park time for the kids. We got to attend Broadway type shows after dinner each night. Our favorite show was the last night. I think the show was called Disney Dreams. I bet it makes it to Broadway-it was that good! The kids enjoyed the shows as much as Brad and I did! One night we saw a magician and that was really fun, too.
They had an Oceaneer's Club and an Oceaneer's Lab that Alex got to go to and Abby went to the nursery. They each went twice. During our first time away from the kids, we went to the fancy restaurant on the boat, Palo, and had a very gourmet Italian brunch. We sat next to a window that overlooked the ocean, there were complimentary mimosas, and our waiter described everything with such detail, it was hard not to try everything that was offered. Probably the best thing I ate was the passion fruit cheesecake. Wowzers!!!! Of course, if I would have taken pictures of everything we ate, you'd be here for an hour drooling over them! Here is round one of appetizers and round one of dessert.
The second time we took the kids to their "daycare" we went to the adults only pool. It was so nice to just hang out in a pool with a drink and not be splashed in the face by kids jumping over you every five seconds. We enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, there was live music, and we got to lay out! I can't remember the last time we have layed out together! It was definitely over 5 years ago!
We highly recommend a Disney cruise! (and Disney World, too, which will have to be another post since we went before I started this blog) We have planned to go back to Disney World in 5 years, and after taking this cruise, we plan to do it again, too!
