1st family cruise......Disney

For our family vacation this year and in prep for Madison's 5th birthday (in August) we took a family Disney Cruise. We had heard so many wonderful things about the Disney Cruise but could not believe how amazing it really was. The kids are still asking when then can go back. This trip was a lot of firsts for the kids...airport check-in, airplane ride, bus ride, train transport, trolley, playing till 10:30pm (except when at Grandma and Grandpa's =)), swim with dolphin, experience the ocean, sand, and being in wet-suits. Our cruise was 4 days and we sailed out of Port Canaveral, went to Nassua and Castaway Cay (Disney Island) on Sunday, May 12 and arrived back on Thursday, May 16. There were a variety of activities for the kids, character sightings, dance parties, pirate night, ice cream, oceaners club (day care for the kids open 10am to midnight almost each day). Darin and I had a few date nights in a great little Skyline bar that had speciality drinks focused on specific cities: Chicago, Hong Kong, New York and Paris. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked the same trip for next year.
