Day 6 - St. Lucia
Day 6 – St. Lucia

Today was one of our most anticipated stops for multiple reasons.  When we originally discussed taking this cruise, I asked the girls what they most wanted to do on the trip.  Our younger daughter said she wanted to try riding Segways.  St. Lucia was the only stop that Disney offered a Segway adventure, so we signed up for this excursion right after we got our sea day Palo Brunch.  We were also excited to visit St. Lucia because our daughter’s preschool teacher was from St. Lucia and would always tell us how beautiful the island was.  Her descriptions left us with the desire to visit. read more

Disney Cruise, Travel

I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on The DCL Dude podcast again for a game of “Carry It, Keep It, or Can It”!   Doug McKnight (of Rope Drop Radio), Sarah, Wes and I discuss which current Disney Cruise line amenities should be “Carried” over to the new ships, which ones are fine to “Keep” on the current fleet, and which ones should be “Canned”.  read more

During our recent April 2019 sailing on the Disney Wonder, we managed to stay awake long enough on Pirate Night to grab some pictures of the Pirate Night Buffet that was available after the Pirates in the Caribbean Fireworks in Cabanas. read more

St. Maarten Day
St. Maarten Day

Today was our first port stop of the trip at the beautiful island of St. Maarten (or Saint Martin).  The last time we were on St. Maarten, we took a bus tour of the Dutch and French side.  This time, we decided on something much simpler.  We were planning on a self planned beach day.  We started the day off with a quick breakfast at Cabanas. read more

Day 4 - Castaway Cay
Day 4 – Castaway Cay
Today was Day 4 of the cruise, which meant it was time for a stop at Disney’s private island of Castaway Cay.   We had not planned any excursions for the island.  Other than Nancy doing the Castaway Cay 5K race, we just planned on enjoying the beach for the day.  Nancy got up early to get some breakfast, then headed to the meet up for the race.    The race participants are led off the ship in a large group.  They had to walk to the starting point, which is down by Flipper and Floats at Pelican Point.   Along the way, Nancy passed by the equipment rental area.  

Nancy took a few photos during the race.  The 5K starting point is near the bike rental location, and takes runners/walkers the length of the old airplay runway and bike path loop (2x) before heading back toward the starting point.  read more
