Well it has been a busy Christmas and New Year and I have finally managed to find some time to add the 2nd day of the cruise. The video are much shorter, because the cruise was time to relax. Especially the days at sea, the camera had a break as well. I have to say you cannot say in words, or show in a video or photos how truly wonderful this cruise was. I hope you enjoy.

This is our 12th day of our Disney holiday in April/May 2011.
This was our 3rd day of the cruise, but our 2nd full day at sea.
Again, the video is short, but I have added lots of photos at the end of the video.
The kids again had a great time in the pools, on the slides, in the clubs, eating lots of food and ice cream.

So it was an early start for our character breakfast which was great fun.
We were joined by Minnie Mouse for breakfast, along with lots of her friends..

Just watched the rest of the videos and you did a fantastic job. Never having done a cruise, it's really good to have a look around.

This will be great to look back at in years to come. Everyone looks as if they're having a ball

This is our 13th day of our Disney holiday in April/May 2011.
This was our 4th day of the cruise and after spending 2 days at sea, we arrived at St Maarten for our first port of call.
As my little lad was not toilet trained, he was not allowed into the Disney Magic Pools, so he loved having a good run around the beach and splash in the sea. We then had a great night enjoying Disney Pirate party.

There are two video's for the today:
Part 1: Early Start - Beach time with the kids
Part 2: Disney Pirate Party including fireworks

It was the first time we had been off the ship and got a proper close up look of her.... and what a beauty she really is...

Welcome to St Maarten

Looking back on these photos now, make it all feel very not real, but it really was... Brilliant..

Time to party...

I really don't suit that hat...

Food, food, glorious food..

Do we look like a pirates...?

Spot the odd one out...

Day 14 of our Magical Disney Vacation 2001.
I am determined to finish these video's before 12 month before we set off on the trip. Even though it is 10 months since we had this holiday there is not a day that passes that we don't discuss something about the holiday, as it was truly brilliant.....

Day 14 was St Tho,as and we went on Castaway Girl for a snorkelling trip, which was one of the highlights. Although we did some some footage of the trip to go snorkelling, I did not get any of the snorkelling, which looking back I wish I had have done, but I was too busy enjoying myself.

We then had a lovely afternoon around the pools on Disney Magic listening to the Disney band. It was a wonderful day..... Hope you enjoy the video...

Here is the team that went Snorkelling.

Day 15 was a day at sea... It was a great relaxing day with the Lauren and Matthew at the kids clubs while we just chilled out around the pools and enjoying the cocktails of the day. Disney Magic was speeding its way to Castaway Cay and this caused a sometimes bumpy ride... But it was fun being in the pool having a deep end, that within seconds became a shallow end... But fun all the same...

This is the video

Lauren was in the show Friendship Rocks in Walt Disney Theatre

That was followed by a lovely meal...

Do you think Matthew was enjoying the cruise?

The Disney Dream show honestly brought a tear to my eye...

Next stop Castaway Cay... Goodnight... x

 

[Whisky In A VAse]

Well it was out last full day on our cruise and what better way to spend it than on Disney's very own Island - Castaway Cay. It is the most beautiful relaxing place I have been to.
The day was then followed by our lovely meal and then the final time to say goodbye to Mickey and Minnie and all our Disney Friends at the 'til we meet again show.. I think everyone had a tear in their eye....

Here is the video....

Welcome to Castaway Cay

I think this hug means thank Mummy for the best day ever...

Goodbye to our servers

The Goodbye show... which was great...

Final pictures with all the Disney gang...

And its bed time....

 

[Whisky In A VAse]

Well this is the end of our amazing 17 day cruise which included 10 days staying at a villa and visiting all the parks, followed by a wonderful 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise on Disney Magic. It was the best time ever....

Here is the video of our last day as well as lots and lots of photos

After a great relaxing cruise, everyone was feeling relaxed and wide awake on the way to the airport....

The end....
