We just got back from our 3 Days on the Dream on Monday. We did not have alarm clock or wave phone issues, but one morning one of my kids had fallen asleep with the TV on so at like 4am Disney Jr's "Wake up Song"was my unpleasant wake up call.
For it being a shorter cruise, I totally get wanting to explore the ship more. Wow! The Royal Palace looks amazing!! That bread basket is to die for, I need that for my house! Can't wait to see Pirate Night!
I was really bummed about missing the animation class this trip, so I'm glad to hear your thoughts. It'll be at least 3yrs before I get back on DCL, but I'll keep trying to get to the one at DHS. I think you guys did a wonderful job on your drawings!
Speed dating! Yup That's what it's like.
Can't wait to see your pirate night pictures!
I'm joining in!! I follow you and Jess on Instagram so I remember y'all going on your cruise! But I didn't realize you started a TR!
I love love love DCL, I've been on 8 and I love them soo much. I'm gonna go back through and get all caught up!
OK... just so I'm clear. There is a cruise ship out there in the world with basically Ariel painted on the side (despite it actually not being Ariel due to, you know, copyright and whatnot)????? O to the M to the G!! Sorry, got a little distracted there.
My goodness, it's amazing how beautiful everything is on the ship. In all honesty, I imagine I too would want to stay on board and explore every nook and cranny of the ship. Even better if enough people leave the ship. More room for you!!
Oh GAWD, swimming with dolphins is pretty much at the very top of my all time bucket list.
Hahaha, Jess and photography are no joke. I love that she works hard for her pictures.
Sundresses, gotcha!!
I'll tella ya Lia, if you were able too draw Goofy that well with a less than steller instructor, then I think maybe YOU should teach the class. And I imagine Jess can draw Pluto in her sleep, lol.
I'm loving hearing about your trip. Going on a Disney cruise is definitely on my bucket list, but unfortunately it won't happen for a while. The ship is gorgeous and Jess really captured the magic in her photos! I wouldn't have thought to skip a portrait day for more time on the ship, it's a perfect way to soak up more Disney! Can't wait to read more!
So FUN!
Lia, you don't disappoint! Loved all the details, the pics and the selfies! Who doesn't want to see what you look like when waiting for your shower?!!!
Every time I get a notification that you've updated, I find myself hoping, "PLEASE let it be more than just one!!!"
Can't wait for more!!!!
Oh my gosh, Jack! He was the BEST part of our cruise too! My DS was dressed as Davy Jones & he was terrified. It was hilarious!
I'm so glad you found a way to manage your knee pain! Good thing pirates are tough
5 characters, 1 line. NICE!! That kinda sounds like the way Epcot Character Spot used to be. Still, it does offer a 3 for 1 line meet, so not awful. But this is my kind of ratio.
I tell ya, I am a sucker for characters (especially the Fab 5 though it really should be the Fab 6 to include Daisy) in different outfits. It would be my main reason for doing character dinners like Chef Mickey's.
I love watching the kids with the characters even more than meeting them myself. There's just something so sweet and innocent about it. I wish everybody was like that in life, I really do.
Oh Lia I can totally relate to the walking without pain thing. My last two trips it seems something flairs up after a lot of walking and one leg just throbs like a nerve or something. It's brutal. So I definitely feel your pain... literally. So very glad you were able to find some relief.
I need to go on a Disney cruise like yesterday!!
A mom from my daughter's class has told me the same thing about how there are never any lines on the ship and you can meet everyone. She owns DVC and she says they never do meet and greets!
I need to go Nooowwwwww!
