Day 6
Day 6

It was the saddest day of the cruise, time to disembark the ship.  Luckily for us, we had two more days of vacation left before we had to head home.  We got up, drank some of our coffee that we ordered the night before, and then made sure our bags were ready.  We had a late breakfast scheduled back in Tiana’s Place, where we’d had dinner the night before.  We enjoyed one more look off our great balcony before heading to breakfast. read more

There is nothing quite like entering the atrium of one of the beautiful Disney Cruise Line Ships and hearing your family’s named announced.  We got to experience that today when we got on board the Disney Wonder.  We had not been on the Wonder in quite some time, our last cruise on board was for Spring Break in 2016!  read more

It was finally time to get on the boat!  We woke up super early (we were still on East Coast time), so Nancy decided to go for a run to the beach while the girls and I headed to the market at the Hyatt to grab some coffee and breakfast.  Nancy’s first stop was Mission Beach. read more

The travel day for our Spring Break cruise quickly approached.  Our flight on United Airlines was leaving Dulles at 8:15 am, so our scheduled taxi picked us up at 6 am.  We arrived quickly at Dulles ready to check in for our flight (really just drop off the bags since we checked in online).  The ticket area was really busy, probably because of Spring Break travelers like ourselves.  We got our bags dropped off and headed for the TSA Pre Check line.  The line was slightly backed up, but we managed to clear it without anyone getting pulled aside for additional screening, which might be a first.  On the way to our gate, we stopped for a free breakfast using our Priority Pass from our Hilton Aspire Cards.  We ended up pushing up against our departure time, so we had to cut breakfast short so we could get to our gate before boarding.  We walked over to our gate (which was nearby) and boarding started ten minutes later. read more

The Disney Cruise Line Spring 2019 Itineraries were released at the end of October 2017.  While scanning through the list, we decided either the Magic or Wonder 5 night cruises would fit within our budget.  The Magic would be on a 5 night Western Caribbean leaving Miami on April 14th, 2019 with stops at Cozumel and Castaway Cay.  The Wonder would be on a 5 Night Baja cruise leaving San Diego on April 14, 2019 with stops at Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.  read more
