Disney Cruise 2016!

Christmas Day was a long one, but the girls did amazing! Luckily we had a direct flight to Orlando, and were able to find a restaurant that was open for Christmas dinner. It was so weird eating at a restaurant for Christmas dinner instead of Mom or Dad's, or Kay and Lynda's. It was delicious though and then we were all able to crash at a hotel for the night. The next day we all boarded a bus that took us to Port Canaveral to board the Disney Dream! We had an incredible vacation filled with meeting princesses, watching Broadway caliber shows every night, swimming, water slides, watching Moana in 3D, cornrows for the girls, magic shows, fun scavenger hunts, playing on the beach, swimming in the gorgeous Caribbean, and much more. Disney sure knows how to do kids! And the SHIP, oh my gosh the SHIP!!! It was incredible! Compared to the one other cruise that Lance and I have been on, this ship/cruise line exceeded all of my expectations! It was immaculate, the food was waaaaaayyy better that the other ship's food. Everything was so fresh and prepared same day. The girls loved the kids club which is open till midnight (not that we left them there that long) but it was so nice to drop them off after dinner, so Lance and I could see a show, or have some time to ourselves. Here are just a few of the photos we took on our incredible Christmas vacation!

Boy they crashed hard!

Emma eagerly staring out the window at the massive ship! "Look Mom, LOOK!" She kept saying.

One hour in and she's got this cruising thing figured out already! 

Bon Voyage!

Moana in 3D

Their favorite! 

Disney's private island Castaway Cay! I could have spent a week here! So fun! 

Pirate night and firework show! Disney is the only cruise line allowed to do fireworks on board ship! It was spectacular! 

It wouldn't be the Bahamas without some cornrows!

Such a fun beach day!

That WATER though!!!!

Dress up night! You never outgrow dressing up like a princess! Ariel, Anna, Belle, and Cinderella (2015 version) ;) 

They got first place in the scavenger hunt!

I wish we could have taken photo/video (we snuck this one) of the shows because they were absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm talking broadway caliber! Full scale sets, pyrotechnics, the costumes, music, everything was phenomenal!!!! The theatre was huge and sooo gorgeous too!

The only down side to our awesome adventure was that we had to be off the ship by 9 am, and our flight didn't leave till 6:50pm! We had a very long 8 hours in the airport, and then another 5.5 hours flight home, but it was so worth it!!!
