    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    I LOVED it! It was such a surprise. I'm also glad we visited there after Olympia and Athens, because I feel like I might have been disappointed with those if we'd done Ephesus before. It's just so extensive!

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    After stomping around (encouraged!) on some carpets Brent and I decided it was time to head back to the boat, since we wanted to stop at the Duty Free stop in port before sail away. Our hosts at the carpet shop said goodbye, and we told them we were so glad we were able to come and witness more...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    Our one Turkish port was the one I knew least about before heading on this Mediterranean adventure, but it ended up being one of my very favorite days of the entire trip! We pulled into the gorgeous port town of Kusadasi early in the morning. We were greeted by traditional Turkish...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    It was REALLY hard to drag me from the Acropolis, but it was time to grab our bus back to the boat. Once we got back on the boat we realized we were really hungry! So we decided to check out Pete's Boiler Bites, one of the quick service restaurants on the boat. Brent got the day's special, a...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    Today the Disney Magic docked in Athens, Greece! This was the port I'd most been looking forward to before we even set sail. While it ended up being one of my least favorites it was still amazing. And I have the photos to prove it! This morning started early with our port excursion...

    We got back on the boat and took showers (it was HOT at Olympia!) then decided to go have a refreshing drink at Cove Cafe, the adults only coffee/drink shop on the Magic There is outdoor seating just outside Cove Cafe, and that's where we chose to watch the Magic sail away...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    We woke up this morning very excited, our first port day! We opened the curtains to our verandah to see that we were already docked in the small port town of Katakolon, Greece. After a very quick bite to eat at Cabanas (Mickey waffles for me!) we headed straight to D Lounge, which was...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    Following dessert we went back to our stateroom to read books out on our balcony. In what you'll soon see develop into a theme ;) we took a nap before it was time to get ready for formal night and the Captain's Gala. We headed down to Deck 3 mid ship for one of the best parts of the...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    Today was a day at sea, so we decided to take advantage of having nowhere to be (this would not be the case for the next 5 days!) and slept in until 9:30. After taking our time getting ready we headed to Cabanas for breakfast. The food is a little bit different since there are different...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    Quick and painless, the safety drill was over just like that. Brent and I headed to deck 10 to watch the Sail Away party happening on Deck 9. It was a little crowded for our liking so we headed to the very back (aft) of deck 10 to watch our sail away from Venice instead. Brent got us both ice...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    The morning of July 5th Brent and I woke up in our hotel in Venice, Italy. We had flown in the day before and spent the afternoon exploring Venice in hopes of working through our jet lag. We had semi-success after some authentic Italian food and gelato and went to bed early, filled with...

    9 Night Greek Isles cruise on the Disney Magic! Updated 8/24 with Day 5 :)

    For over a year now my husband and I have been planning a trip to Alaska on the Disney Wonder. I had every port excursion planned out, knew what dinner rotation I wanted us to be on and even had our pre and post cruise hotels figured out. An unexpected change of events left us headed off to the...

    Well, that explains why I saw on my reservation that I was switched into my preferred late seating from main dining! 8:45 is very late though, I would have much preferred 8:15. Maybe I'll see if we can switch back...

    This is perfect, thank you so much!! It's exactly what I was looking for, just an idea of the things generally offered for "dinner". Food at Polynesian was incredible, and I'm sure it will be at Sugar Loaf too. That list has me drooling. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm so excited...

Was originally booked at WL (price), then moved to YC (for proximity to Food and Wine) now finally at GF when something...
