Guest Post! Have Baby, Will Go On A Disney Cruise?
This week I’m delighted to publish a piece written by my dear friend and Disney expert Sandra Halket of Click The Mouse. As a mom of 2 amazing girls, Sandra is no stranger to traveling with her kids, and her daughters have both experienced Disney since they were in diapers. As research for her business, she recently checked out Disney’s Cruise Line – tough work but someone’s gotta do it!
Magic and Wonder on the Disney Cruise Line
By Sandra Halket
I recently boarded the Disney Cruise Line on a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise as a travel agent to conduct some research without my husband and kids. I repeat. No husband. No kids. With guilt and passport in hand, I boarded the Disney Magic on my 3rd Disney cruise.
By the second day I missed my kids. To alleviate some of these feelings, I decided to investigate what they could do on our next family cruise, which I’ve promised to take before the end of 2010. I also realized participation is part of research, so I indulged and ordered at least 3 appetizers per meal, tested out the spa and workout facilities onboard, and immediately ordered a Bahama Mama in a DCL keepsake glass.

I get irritated with the lines, rude people, misbehaving children (yes, my own included), and shockingly expensive (and unhealthy) food. So, maybe it’s because I was expecting the worst that I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it’s because it had been a brutal year and we were all just so grateful for an escape together. Maybe it’s because I’m softening my stance as a travel snob and succumbing to the ease and comfort of places that cater to families. We enjoyed our visit to Walt Disney World – and here’s why… Read more »
No Disney No Cry: Enjoying Florida Without The Mouse
Almost exactly a year ago we blew our not-quite-3 year-old daughter’s mind with a trip to Florida that included Walt Disney World.
Cinderella's Castle
We had dinner with Cinderella, we stayed up late and watched the fireworks, we went on “It’s A Small World” five times. Even cynical ol’ me shed a sentimental tear or two on the trip (and so did my dad when I asked him about our trips to WDW when I was small - weird). Anyhoo – she remembers that experience with almost alarmingly vivid detail, so we were a little concerned about possible pouting due to this year’s theme park-free trip to Florida. Read more »
