Day 3 October 1 Key West! Our ship was diverted to Key West for our first stop because of Hurricane Joaquin. We were only allowed to be on the island from 8 am to 1:45 pm! Well, none of the fun bars open before 11 am and we’re respectable adults. :) No one wants to…

I’m fresh off my 4th Disney cruise and my 13th cruise overall. My Cruising Tips and Tricks blog post has gotten quite a few reads so I thought I’d update my tips list with a few more tricks I’ve learned. – Drive or fly to the port the day before your cruise. You don’t want…

We woke up at 6 to be in the main lobby at 7. We carried our own luggage off the ship and if you do that you can walk right off at 7am! No waiting in line at customs! We breezed right through and were in the packed car by 7:20!!! That means we skipped…

Today was Castaway Cay day! We were docked from 9:30am – 4:45pm. Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island. It’s amazing! We got up early and had breakfast at Cabanas then headed down to the gangway. Just outside the ship we bought Kyle, CSP’s new cooler. He named it. Kyle. That boy cracks me up! Kyle…

We woke up early today (at 7) because on sea days it’s much harder to snag a good chair by the pool. I’m super fair so I need one in the shade. We went up to breakfast at Cabana’s then scored 2 good chairs at Quiet Cove. We read and I may have dozed…

Outside of every cabin is a fish that holds mail from the ship for your stateroom. A Fish Extender (FE) is a hanging that has pockets (usually a pocket per family…

We slept in a little after our big day yesterday in Key West so we didn’t get up until about 9:15am. Slapped some clothes on really quickly and ran down to the Future Cruise Desk. We were first in line. Yay! We had already booked our 2016 cruise but we wanted to see if we…

CSP & I had been looking forward to this day so much! He had never been to Key West and it had been a good 10 years for me so we were both excited! But before I get into today, I forgot to include something about yesterday. CSP’s mom and the pugs were able to…

We woke up at the Art of Animation resort in Walt Disney World. We showered and dressed and packed up. We had chosen express checkout so we were able to just get in the car and leave. Hopped on the highway bound for Port Canaveral. We parked and went through security then on to check…

Today we were off to a bit of a late start because CSP had the plague. We finally got on the road about 10 am. Around 4pm Mickey called to wish us a happy cruise! So cute! I’d totally forgotten that I’d set that up (it’s free!). We pulled in to the Magic Kingdom gates…
