We Finally Got On Our Disney Cruise... 2 Kids & 3 Years Later! | Disney Wish

We are about to get off the Disney Wish. I'm going to tell you all about it. Where to begin? First of all, we had a lovely time. Our first fresh embryo transfer failed. A bit of exciting news right here. See this right here? We're going to take that, and we're going to take this right here, this Disney gift card, and we're about to officially confirm with a down payment our first Disney cruise on the Disney Dream. Four night Bahamas. And we had no idea what our family would look like. So this was a long time. We had to cancel because of treatment, and then last year we got a sickly bug. So it was just like, once we were on the ship, we were like, getting ready to board. Made it. We don't know what to do. We're on the ship. The Oceaneers Club is right here. Take a look. No nap. Ice cream for days. Set sail. It's party time. Oh, good job. The ship. Stunning. Incredible. And we've never cruised before. Right. So it was like, overwhelming. Jamesy, you're going to run past our room. Alright. Our room was ready. 220. James is running on insanity fumes. Oh, there's cruise babies, huh? We have a Tiana room. Oh my goodness. Yes. This is so different. Yes. It's just like something we've never experienced before. You need to take a nap. Look at this lovely blanket. Sarah. What? Peter and Sarah Booker, wishing you all an amazing cruise. Maria. What? Maria, enchantment package. We were too excited to even realize. Maria, too much. Enchantment package. Cute. There's more. Wow. What? Maria, this is too much. These are very cool. Those are so cool. And this coin. Wow. Oh, it's a pin. Oh. Yes. Maria, thank you. This is incredible. I want to keep the box forever. Lewis, like, line drawing. They have a diaper caddy and a pack and play ready. I called about this, and they said you can't do this until you get on the boat. So I must have been super kind, and I did. Now let's get ready for the most anxious part. Oh my God. This is too much. You're high up. Sarah and I have fears. Big step. Good job. Look. Wow. Oh, you can see NASA. Very good from our side. Oh, yeah. No. He's a little too nervous. You can see the deck right above us. We're at the Titanic. Cute little chairs. Oh my gosh. I can't wait to have a glass of wine on here later. I know those are like, I think those are champagne glasses. I'll just bring my wine to the bottom. Our other Tiana artwork. Here is how they set up the beds for us. Oh. Hey. This is how they set up this bed. So it's small for James. With the guardrail that's so nice. And then... No. Play, play. What? The moon's out so you can see the ocean. You can see where other things have been. Oh my gosh. This is like when you, because we live in cities, we don't understand truly how bright the moon is. I think one of our very favorite parts of the whole thing was the artwork. Yeah. Every deck. I feel like I got my lingo down now. Every deck has like, a dedicated like, There's just mosaics, and there's tapestries, and like, I didn't expect all that. Yeah. No, like, and even like, not purely Disney things. You know, like, influences obviously and whatnot, but like, everything from like, concept art, to like, the carpet, just having like, details. And a message card. Rainbow. David. Yeah. There's a rainbow. Um, also like, this isn't going to be like a how-to Disney like, step-by-step process, because like, we were such, like, this was like, our first experience. Um, that like, we were like, such noobs. Like, we didn't even know that like, you need like, this master card thing, like in that slot, for your lights to turn on. Like, one night we came up, we came home, and like, our lights wouldn't go on. Our lights won't turn on. We don't know, is there, should we call? Oh, they're so, such good friends. Well, we called and, we're just total noobs at cruising and, the master key that, or like, the little, what would you call it? Master key? That's like, in the little slot, inside. Gotcha. We just had to do that. I didn't, like, I feel like, I felt like things were small. Like, I did think that things were going to be like, massive. But like, when we were here, it felt quaint. And even though things were small, it worked out perfectly. I've been thinking all week, I remember when the Rapunzel bathrooms opened up, and Magic Kingdom, and I was like, wow, this is like, theming plus plus. Kind of similar vibe to like, Wizarding World? Yes. That's what I was going to say, Wizarding World, Universal. And there's just theming in everywhere you look, and I love that. Yeah. Also, another thing you love is that, Disney music is just playing everywhere. So like, right, at Disney World, like, you're like, if you stay at the Polynesian, it's like tropical music. Like, it goes along with those themings, but this, the theme of this is just, Disney. And so it's, just constant Disney music, and like, such a good variety, and, yeah, it was, it was awesome. And the food was amazing. Yeah. And I don't even think like, there's enough time, to talk about like, all the different meals that we ate. And I don't even think like, there's enough time, to talk about like, all the different meals that we ate. but like, my favorite was, the Avengers, like dinner. Keep in mind, at dinner, you can order as much as you want. So like, I like, couldn't pick between two entrees, which is very me. And, I got like a shawarma, and then I got a pasta with scallops, and like, I don't know, like, it was just amazing. I think like, we're going to include, little snippets of all of our meals. So like, if you have any questions about stuff, put it in the comments, and we'll reply. But again, there's like, so much. My favorite was, the room service, which is also 24 hours, the flatbread. Oh yeah. It's like a sausage and cheese flatbread, that was for room service. And we got it I think, two or three times. Yeah. So, lovely. So like, the options here are, there's like a quick service, by the pool deck. Alright, Karen is going to make a, taco pizza sandwich. And Jamie has lost his mind. Buffet, there's your sit down meal, every night. There's, the room service, and then you can also do like, dining. Yeah, that you can plan. And I think like, my goal was like, to get a good array of everything. And those were like, my favorite days, when we like, we like made it a point to, get in. Eat all night. Ice cream, and pop, and like fountain drinks. Um, we did get, plenty of fancy drinks too. They had so many, mocktails. every, every place had a, had a mocktail. Here's a Disney cruise kid, in a Disney cruise. It's older though. that Disney girl sailing mug. Wow. Ready to get the house, mocky day. Woo. Oh, it's okay. It's just a bubble. Wow. And this is non-alcoholic. Wonderful. Thank you. Yeah. And we got like, a space bubble, in the background. We got a sorbet for Jamesy. Wow. And you have great options, for the kids. Great desserts. James liked the steak toast. Yeah. We ate, a lot. He's ready. He's ready for his dinner. What? Yeah. It's gorgeous. Gorgeous. It's gorgeous. Oh my God. The next one's not. It's really good. Pretty. I also don't know, if we've mentioned for the vlog, that we have dining, with these goons. I love the nuggets. Look at, look at your pretty premium bar. Good company. Look at Jamesy. He's eating, just the sprinkles. When every other time, he's at a dinner with sprinkles, he doesn't like the sprinkles. He picks them up. Thank you. There's the pirates. Modern art. It's pirate night. We got some Disney bounds going on. James also took a, 15 hour nap. I'm Peter Pan. Sarah's Wendy. This guy's Captain James Hook. And if you don't know, who this little guy is, then you should just, stop watching our videos. This is me. This is the cutest me, you've ever seen. In case Sarah, wasn't in that last shot. Here's her Wendy bound. They have falafel, samosas. There's a lot of good stuff. But we did, we like just, Snicky Snack. And by Snicky Snack, I mean like basically, had a full meal. Every two hours. For room service. I could eat. Yeah, there were a lot of, Pretty sweet, right? I'm gonna take it. Thank you. Cruise, Disney Cruise Line. When in doubt, room service, is what Teddy says. Yeah. We got some, buffalo chicken wings. Chicken dinners and fries. The flatbread, lamb and sauce. It might be our favorite thing, of the whole cruise. It really is. And when do we have dinner? In like a half hour. 45 minutes. But it's our last night. When in doubt, room service out. The food was for sure. So, the thing that we were surprised about, and bummed about, was that, any children, that are not potty trained, or wearing diapers, cannot, go in the pools, on the ship. And I guess it's a cross, that's like a cruise thing. And we had no clue. You know like, we, we didn't do, a lot of research, because we really wanted to be, like surprised, by the wish, and like in turn, we missed that detail. that we didn't expect, that would happen. kids, families swim together. We brought James a splash pad, a lot more, and he still had fun. And then because of that, we were like, really pumped, to get the castaway key. We, were able to just like, switch our mindset. Like we weren't, we didn't let it like, when you're like, at first it was like, we weren't, I don't know, we weren't like asking to like, I don't know, snorkel, or go to like, a fancy restaurant with kids. Like it's just something, that we really like to do, all together. They do little announcements, especially now, that we're like, getting ready to get off. But anyways, castaway key, I think, like I think, that was my favorite day. Yeah, we joined the Earharts, in a family cabana, after I ran, the run Disney, castaway key challenge, the 5k, so they, they got two more medals. Yeah, they always do a 5k, on castaway key, but this one was special, for the cruise, after marathon, dopey weekend. 3, 2, 1, go! We finished it. Officially, we finished the dopey, castaway key, weekend. When is the next time, you're going to run? Like, like for fun? Or for training, like a year from now? Oh, I mean a year, yeah, a year. And so, two more medals, eight in total, me and Carolyn took photos, of us with the medals, our medals on the beach, me, Carolyn and Katie, ran it in the early morning, they got us off the ship, at 6am, ran the 5k, there were some characters, there was, um, cool stops. And you got to see the ship, like all lit up. And then, um, Megan and Katie, stayed off the ship, after the 5k, Carolyn and I, got back on the ship, to then, then meet our families, and then come down. Um, but the cabana was just, the epitome of like, relaxation. Hey. Carolyn and I just got our, Doe Bee Plus cast away, metal photos. Click, click, click, click, click. That's what it's all about. It's all about the plane. I think that's like the official end of our Dopey challenge is the photos. Did it. Never again. Every year. Or maybe next week. Every year. Who do you see over there? And it just showed like how much like Jamesy really does love to swim and that's like you know. I could not get him out of the ocean. No, it was awesome and like guys I do not like the ocean. I don't like salt water. I don't like just being like oscillated back and forth. I sunburn easy and so like this experience was like the calm Bahamas water. I was in there a lot like playing and like enjoying. So like this kind of changed my perception of the ocean. Obviously then I had a cabana to like go and sit with my drink and lay on the hammock because like the cabana was for a big family. So there were chairs and fridge and like the service of being able to like call for drinks, snorkel gear, biking equipment. Like definitely look into cabanas if you're going to be cruising because it was just like very much so like I don't know. Relaxing. Yeah, changed the experience to be just so like extra like just plus and the food on the island is really really good too. I think too like that was our day to prioritize relaxation because okay like let's face it like a two-year-old and a seven-month-old we did not get like your typical like adult experience especially with our children who aren't used to being with others. So we did not like use the kids club. We did not use the nursery. So like we like this was we were pretty tired. Like I wouldn't say like don't come with kids this age because it was just different and just like you know. Just do your research. Don't do don't not do your research like we did. But I mean we knew that we knew going into it that we weren't going to be giving like letting them go to be watched by someone else. I have been phrasing like this all week that like the partner statue of Magic Kingdom and the quote on there and the concept of the theme parks is to have fun together and you can do that on the cruise and I've always heard that there was stuff for the kids to go off into and there's stuff for adults to go off into. I just thought there would be more stuff that families could do together. Yeah like even like a lot of the kids stuff like we couldn't. We're limited because of the ages to do those things that are like the pools. But I did realize that there weren't a lot of kids their ages which kind of makes sense. We'll probably just wait to go on another cruise. Yeah until probably Teddy is. Yeah until they can do things like together like if they were like off of the club and then if we are happy to be blessed with more children like then we would just like have to like evaluate like who would be with who. I think as long as those are two boys right now are old enough to do that that we would come back regardless if we had like another seven month old or something. Yeah right um just be a different experience but it was a lot of fun. It was so much fun and I think our room was more than we could have like I didn't I didn't even know what to expect and our room was just beautiful. We had so many like so much of our like memories from this cruise was like us just having time in our room and like it's again it kind of goes with their ages like James didn't have to be kept in a stroller and he didn't have to be like chased around or told not to go certain places. It was just our place where like you could play with their toys and you know like be. I know I enjoyed this one this time. One, two, three. It's like it was it's good to be home in like a different sense of the word but we have like stuff to do before we get off the ship. The next few days I'm sure we're going to be like chatting and like showing you some of our souvenirs just like within everyday life so we're not going to go into all of that but just I don't know being able to finally share this experience it was wonderful and like truly just like a trip long time coming and so fulfilling. I'm so proud of you for an adobe challenge and we're not like we just we finally did. Yeah and like just being here was just such like a moment so special. Should be the first of Disney cruises for us. Yeah. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. The music just being in like I felt like Disney magic was hugging me the whole time. Yeah and I think like we aren't keen to relaxing and like having this like our phones not working like here and there I was able to do some stuff but we just didn't get like the full-blown package like which is like really disconnecting and just being with each other and like and yeah and our friends like it was just it was everything and more I could afford. It was like it wasn't like it wasn't what I thought it was going to be but it was like so fulfilling in so many other ways but now we get to go to the boardwalk and we're checking in there um for tonight's the festival of the arts. Our favorite festival. Our favorite festival so we're very excited. Thanks for all the encouragement and the kind messages over the weekend and the past week and just for you guys. Thank you. It's good to be home. We know what our goals are. We know what we hope to accomplish and believe me it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions.
