Disney Cruisin’ – The Food – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
In Part 1 I talked about, and showed pictures of, the meals we had the first three days aboard – this will cover the rest of the trip. Lumiere’s Our dining rotation had us eating dinner at Lumiere’s two nights in a row – Golden Mickeys the first night, and their “regular” menu – which … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – The Food – Part 2"

Disney Cruisin’ – The Food – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
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 by Laura Gilbreath
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"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 9 and 10 – Castaway Cay and Debarkation

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Friday was our day at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. We were due to arrive about 9:00. Lee and I went up to Topsider’s for breakfast – we each had a made-to-order omelet in addition to other stuff. Meg was working up there and we were able to visit a bit more … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 9 and 10 – Castaway Cay and Debarkation"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 8 – At Sea

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It was an At Sea day yesterday — which was supposed to be our day to relax, but we ended up filling it very well – though some of our activities were very relaxing! The weather was just about as perfect as you can get – sunny and about 80. Really beautiful. Sorry, no photos … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 8 – At Sea"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 7

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It was a very long day today, so you’re getting a very short blog entry — I’ll try to catch up further during our “At Sea” day tomorrow. We took the shore excursion to the Tulum (two-LOOM) ruins on the east coast of the Yucatan peninsula today. It was a lot of travel time — … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 7"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 6 – Grand Cayman

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The seas were quite rough last night – there was a lot of motion. I think I’m very glad we’re in the cabin we are, since it really didn’t bother us. We arrived at Grand Cayman ~7:00 this morning – we were already anchored when we got up at 7:30. The weather was absolutely beautiful … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 6 – Grand Cayman"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 5 – At Sea

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Ahhh…a day to relax at sea! Or at least what passes for us as “relaxing”. I’m not sure I like the late dinner thing — we don’t get out of dinner until 10:30, and then we’re too full to go right to bed…but going to bed late means missing out on being out and about … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 5 – At Sea"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 4, Key West

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
An absolutely beautiful day today! Blue sky and highs in the 70s. We were still at sea when we woke up this morning — we weren’t due to dock in Key West until about noon. There was a DVC Members’ Get Together at 9:00, so we went to that, though we could only stay for … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 4, Key West"
