So when I first started figuring out how to use all my flight credits, I had no idea where we were going to land. βοΈ
Walt Disney World?
Universal Orlando Resort?
A cruise?
Somewhere in between?
I knew a Disney Cruise Line sailing was my dream come trueβ¦ but I wasnβt sure about Jack. Itβs been a while since weβve done Disney, and he really wanted to go back to the parks.
But when I looked at everything from every angle, the cruise just made sense for us. And let me tell you⦠never in my wildest dreams did I think this trip would be as amazing as it was.
In just 2 days, yes just 2 of our 3β¦how many dreams can really come true?
Apparentlyβ¦ all of them. β¨
I donβt even know where to begin, so Iβm just going to chalk it up to the Magic of Disney.
I asked Jack to rate the kids club from 1β10.
He said, β10 million.β
And honestly? I believe him.
I had to DRAG him out every nightβ¦ at MIDNIGHT. The kid literally napped both days so he could shut the kids club down at night. π Gaga ball was his absolute favorite! I donβt think Iβve ever seen him so happy and independent. (And he told me he wasnβt going)
And then⦠the fireworks at sea.
There is something absolutely unreal about standing on the deck, the ocean all around you, music playing, fireworks lighting up the sky β and holding your son in your arms while tears just stream down your face. π₯Ή
Itβs the kind of moment you wish you could freeze forever. The kind that makes you realize time is flying and they arenβt little forever. The kind that makes every decision, every dollar, every ounce of planning completely worth it. Pure magic!
And the FOOD.
Anyone who knows me knows Iβm a HUGE fan of Virgin Voyages because their food is incredible. But I have to sayβ¦ Disney may have slightly surpassed them. Slightly.
The ship was spotless and felt brand new β which is wild considering it launched in 2010! Everything was so clean, so magical, and so thoughtfully done.
This trip filled our cups in ways I didnβt even know we needed. Grateful doesnβt even begin to cover it.
If youβre on the fence about a Disney cruiseβ¦ this is your sign.
I canβt wait to see what our last day has in store!
