Living the dream on the Disney Dream!!

Hi there!  We are fresh off the Disney Dream and I must say that Bear Cub's first cruise was a major success!!  What a way to cruise...if you have the chance to go with Disney, please DO IT!  Wow...the ship was beautiful, service was great and it was totally kid-friendly.  It was pretty funny, but BC was SO nervous about getting on the ship as we waited in the terminal on Thursday.  He was even asking to GO HOME instead of getting onboard!  I think the unknown for him can just be too much sometimes!  I promised him that he would love it.  Thank goodness...Mama was right!  Within an hour of being on the ship, playing in the splash area and Mickey pool, BC proclaimed, "This is PARADISE!!"

It was a 3 night cruise that went to Nassau, Bahamas and then on to Castaway Cay (Disney's private island in the Bahamas).  We played on the boat instead of getting off in Nassau and then enjoyed a FULL day on the island.  Bear Cub brought his net and had created a homemade hand line with a plastic string, bent paperclip, and a lure he'd brought from home.  He did this for HOURS, so Daddy and I totally enjoyed sitting in our chairs at the water's edge and watching him go back and forth "fishing" --- for a while on his own, and then with a gang of boys that he recruited.  It was a fantastic day!

So now we are back to school and reality!  I've already started looking online for future cruises...it was truly fun and relaxing for us all!  Enjoy the pictures!!
