This ship had two main outdoor type activity things… The Rockwall and the Bungee Trampoline. None of the kids did the Rockwall this time, but Josh did the Bungee Trampoline a few times. Above was his first time getting a look out at the open water from aways up and …

Since we arrived a few hours earlier than the posted embarkment times, our vacation started EARLY! YIPPEE! We had a great time checking out the ship before the masses arrived. Here we’re just lounging around for a bit while the kids take turns playing shuffleboard. Amanda went to get figure …

We don’t really know how to play shuffleboard (LOL), but we sure tried! The boys had a lot of fun and I enjoyed sitting on the lawn chairs soaking up some SUN! We arrived a few hours earlier than the scheduled embarkation time so we had a few hours to …

WHOO HOO! After a 3.5 hour drive from Orland to FT Lauderdale we dropped off our rental vans, took the shuttle to from the airport car return to the cruise terminal and were very quickly checked onto our ship. The embarkation process was a LOT faster this time. On our …

Nathan – 3 years old and having a ball in Disney World! He missed seeing Mickey Mouse, but REALLY enjoyed see Mater and Lighning McQueen. Josh is 9 and having a GREAT time although he isn’t too sure whether or not he is enjoying some of the big kid rides… …

I explained in an earlier blog entry that we really didn’t see many characters wandering about Disney World. They now have Character View Areas where you can go and have your picture taken with some characters. Unfortunately, our little guy only wanted to see Mickey Mouse and he wasn’t to …
