Since I already have a blog (and three blogs preceding this one) what haven't I already shared?

Once Upon a Time...

1.) I love DCL...even when I leave my children at home.

My first Disney Cruise ever, I left both my children in the loving care of their grandparents and took off for a second honeymoon with my dear husband. I fell in love with cruising and looked forward to when we could bring the kids.
Three years later we did it again.

From our first cruise.
Yes, the kids knew where we were going. Thankfully, they understand dad and mom need time to themselves and they need time with grandma.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
DCL is awesome, with or without children.

2.) I love running.

I've run several 5Ks (including two at Castaway Cay), a five mile Thanksgiving run and even several half marathons.

Fancy! I like the shirts they had after my most recent Castaway Cay 5K.
Sadly, I currently am not allowed to (doctor's orders) and it's driving me a little nuts.
Especially given that since I quit running, my husband, my son and my daughter all took up running.

I'm so happy they're enjoying running, but I wish I could too!
Despite this lull in running, I'm convinced by this time next year I will be back up to running the Castaway Cay 5K. Possibly all of us together. we'll see.

3.) We ate at Cinderella's Royal Table for lunch during our Disneymoon.

Without reservations.

Once upon a time a young couple ate lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table without reservations...
This isn't a fairytale.
Now that's a magical honeymoon.

Disney Cruise Line 101 ~ What Not To Wear

Image
Although Disney lists limits on dress (no swimwear in the dining rooms, etc.) here on their website, what exactly do people "normally" wear?   I've got you covered. Formal, Semi-Formal, Cruise Casual, Optional Dress Up, or Pirate will be noted as the evening attire on the front corner of your Personal Navigator each day. So let's break those down Formal These evenings, most guests seem to go with somewhere in the range of "Sunday Best" to cocktail dress. Some opt for tuxes and ball gowns (when else can you really wear one?) Jackets, although requested on the website, seem pretty rare. Dark slacks and a button down are more common.  Rocking the sweater vests and tiaras. The little princesses often choose a favorite costume from their wardrobe (yes, leftover Halloween costumes, tiaras and fairy wings are welcome) while the boys range from tiny suits to khakis and sweater vests and full length jeans are not unheard of in the elementary set.
