We knew we wanted to take a trip this year as a family, and decided that a Disney Cruise would be fantastic! Thankfully Santa brought us at Christmas time a Disney Cruise! The cruise we had at first was leaving from New York City and was in May, but then we found out that cruise lines don't like women to be over 24 weeks pregnant while on a cruise....and at the end of May I would be over 24 weeks. So we had to change the cruise, and since Spencer's Spring Break was last week then we thought that would be a perfect time even if we had to fly down to Florida.
As the time grew closer we got really excited! It was even during Easter, so we knew Disney would do something fun, right? Thankfully the Easter Bunny knew we were going on a cruise and wouldn't be home on Easter morning so he dropped off treats the Friday morning we left for the cruise.

Excited about the Mini Eggs he got!
After we checked out our candy we had to get ready for our trip. We had to wake up at 5am to catch our flight down to Florida. It wasn't too long of a flight down there, especially since we were upgraded to First Class (thank you skymiles rewards!!). At the airport we didn't even have to worry about getting our luggage, Disney would do it for us. We got in line for our bus to take us to the cruise ship and then were off.
This is inside the cruise terminal, and yep Minnie was there to welcome us!! Along with a model of our ship, the Disney Magic.
Once on the ship we could just explore. We didn't have our luggage yet, so we just walked around the top decks to see where things were.
Spencer looking out the side of the boat, and wondering what everything was on it. Most things were covered up because it had just rained at the port.
This was the front of our ship, and we later found out that this was actually the crews area and pool.
What could we see from our cruise ship?? Well those white buildings in the background is Kennedy Space Station!!! Kinda where that crane line is, is where the shuttle takes off on flight. Pretty cool.
Soon we were on our way and the boat started to move. It was getting close to our dinner time, so we went to dinner and met our dinner mates. They were a great family and we got along really well during our dinnertimes with them. Spencer and their boys got along wonderfully and became really great friends. After dinner we went to the play in the theatre that the entertainment group put on called "All Aboard: Let the Magic Begin". It was fabulous and we all loved the music and acting they did. We were able to meet the Cruise Director, Darren, while at the show and then also saw a lot of characters. They did a show like this most nights, and I was really glad that Spencer enjoyed these shows. After the show we came back to our suite and guess what was waiting for us?!!? A swan!!
We were tired from the day and decided to call it a night. The next day was going to be filled with activities! Every night they would give us a newsletter for the next day's activities, it was really good to have and take with us around the ship, because there was so much to choose from. Here are what the newsletters looked like.
These were all the ones we got.

Looks like fun for adults and kids. I am glad to see the railing was taller than Spencer. He looked cute with his morning hair and Easter baskets.
Cruises are awesome with stuff to do! I am so excited that you had fun, and that Disney is so cool too! I am totally jealous!
looks like a lot of fun!! Hoping we get to go on one soon:)
Oh this brings back such good memories of our honeymoon cruise (it wasn't Disney though). I'm excited to see what else you guys did!
