We finally made it… our last stop in Alaska, and the end of our Disney Wonder cruise! I didn’t believe we would make it this far after the way this trip started, but we stuck it out and things got a little better every day. Well, except for the weather… The sun was bound to…

Disney Alaska, Part 4: Glaciers and Whale Watching in Juneau
No matter how tough life gets, it’s usually best to stick it out. We were bummed about the canceled train in Skagway, especially since that was the one port adventure I was confident the boys would enjoy. In Juneau, I was second-guessing our plans up to the very morning, unsure about the 45+ minute bus…
Disney Alaska, Part 3: Change of Plans in Skagway
Always be ready to let go of expectations. I was looking forward to Skagway most of all, remembering our first visit seven years ago (before the boys) and knowing how badly we would all need a break from the ship by this point. A lot hinged on our port adventure, though: The White Pass Scenic…
Disney Alaska, Part 2: Tracy Arm Fjord
On our second sea day aboard the Disney Wonder, we sailed into Tracy Arm fjord under a brilliant sky. The entrance to the fjord is serene and beautiful, with tree-covered island dotting the water just outside our stateroom. The fjord itself is breathtaking. A landscape of rocky mountains climb out of the sea as if…
Disney Alaska, Part 1: The Inside Passage
No matter how difficult the first few days were, there was a lot of good in our big family trip. Enough, in fact, that I’m breaking the story into five parts… As a Florida family, any cruise to Alaska would be special, but sailing on the Disney Wonder makes us feel at home: comfortable staterooms,…
Photo Album Memories: Oct. 2017 Disney Cruise, part 2 – Canadian Ports
Living in Florida, we’ve been spoiled for cruises. From last minute cruise deals to Florida-resident rates on Disney, over the years we’ve taken advantage of living less than two hours from the port. Because of this, the typical cruise destinations (Bahamas and Caribbean) keep us on the ship more often when in port. But this was…
Photo Album Memories: Oct. 2017 Disney Cruise, part 1 – Marvel Day at Sea
With opening weekend for the Avengers Infinity War barely over, it seems like a perfect time to open up the photo album and remember our last big family cruise… It was October last year, celebrating my dad’s birthday, and not only was it a Halloween on the High Seas cruise (available on all Disney ships…
Disney Wonder 3 Night Bahamas Cruise in an Inside Cabin
There’s something special about a spur-of-the-moment cruise. It’s something we don’t get to enjoy the way we did before children, when life afforded us the freedom to jump on good Florida-resident rates during the off season. Many of those cruises were with my folks, and once they even called DCL the day the ship was…
