Day 1: Sail Away
Day 1: Sail Away

After getting on board, we immediately headed up to the pool deck so the girls could ride the AquaDuck.  They had worn their swim suits under their clothes, so they were ready to go.  They jumped right on and didn’t have to wait at all.  The AquaDuck actually loads in the rear funnel of the ship in a small one or two person raft and then takes you over the side and around the top deck.  The girls really enjoy riding it.  There is another slide as well on the ship that kids can use. read more

Headed from Reagan National to Orlando
Headed from Reagan National to Orlando

January 13, 2017 finally arrived and it was time to head off for our Star Wars Cruise!  Our plan was to pick the kids up from school, let them get changed, then head off to the airport.  Once we had the house squared away, a friend drove us from our house to Reagan National Airport.  We arrived at the airport really early (as we always do), around 5 PM.  We dropped our bags off with American Airlines and headed through security.  Our experience with TSA Security is usually fantastic thanks to having TSA PreCheck!  Everyone has TSA PreCheck in our family except our youngest daughter (who now has Global Entry).   read more

The Oceaneer Club is Disney Cruise Line’s club for kids ages 3 to 10. We didn’t start cruising until our older daughter was 11, so she didn’t spend much time in the club.  Our youngest daughter, however, loved the clubs and had to be dragged out of them a few times.  read more

During a recent Disney Cruise, we participated in the Mixology class.  The class is a chance to try your hand at making (and tasting) five different mixed drinks.  The class costs $20 per person and the amount is charged to your room.  It is important to note that if you would like to do one of these classes, you should sign up when you board the ship on the first day.  We looked in the Navigator we picked up in the port terminal to find the signup location.  For our cruise on the Fantasy, that was in La Piazza.  We waited around a few hours before going to sign up and we managed to grab the last two spots for the Mixology class on the first sea day.  read more
