Disney Magic Canada Cruise – Part 4, At Sea, New York Sail-In

September 24, 2012 by Laura Gilbreath

We went back to the Eastern timezone overnight, so we got back that hour that we lost the other day, which meant we could sleep in this morning – yay!!! It’s another beautiful day – some puffy clouds but sunny. The seas are a little choppier than they have been, but I’d still say they … Continue reading "Disney Magic Canada Cruise – Part 4, At Sea, New York Sail-In"

Today we were in Halifax, Nova Scotia. When we woke up this morning we were still off the coast of Nova Scotia and the skies were clear – yay!

Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 3, The Food

September 8, 2012 by Laura Gilbreath

Friday night we had dinner at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney. We don't eat here very often, and I don't really know why, because we always look at the menu and have a hard time choosing - there are so many things that look good! I had made a priority seating for 8:00, and we were quickly seated at an outdoor table on the ground floor right against the railing, so we had a great spot to people-watch those going by.

This year the half marathon started a little earlier – at 5:45 … Continue reading "Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 2"
