Disney Cruisin’ – The Food – Part 1

Posted on
It occurred to me that one thing I didn’t really talk about in my “Conclusions” blog was the food. I wrote about it in the “live” blog as I had time, but there were meals (and lots of photos!) that I had to skip because of time. So I’m going to put that in a … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – The Food – Part 1"

Disney Cruisin’ – Conclusions

Posted on
In no particular order, some of my thoughts and impressions about things we experienced on our Disney cruise. The Ship The Disney Magic is gorgeous. Just what you’d expect a classic ocean liner to be. Beautifully decorated and themed and appointed. And a lot of the Disney theming isn’t “in-your-face” theming – it’s more subtle … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Conclusions"

Friday was our day at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. We were due to arrive about 9:00.
