Bound For Barcelona – Sea Day 2
Courtesy of LyncornSea Days, ah so relaxing. There is so much to do on the ship, but sometimes we just don’t want to do anything but sit around!
Sitting on the deck and just enjoying the sun and the salt air is really nice. Seeing nothing but water all around you certainly makes you feel small!
Bound For Barcelona – Sea Day 1
Courtesy of LyncornOur first of the six days at sea. Sleeping in is always on the top of the list!
One of the special family activities that they had on board was Boat Building with Goofy & Max. Cruisers that signed up had 5 days to gather supplies from the ship (excluding furniture or decor) and make a boat that could hold a full can of Coke and float. We decided to take the challenge of building that boat!
Bound For Barcelona – Castaway Cay
Courtesy of LyncornOne of the most fun places to visit in the Caribbean is an island you can only get to if you sail on a Disney cruise. It’s Castaway Cay, and it’s Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.
All year round in the harbor you can see The Flying Dutchman. This was actually used in the filming of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Bound For Barcelona – Leaving Port Canaveral
Courtesy of LyncornWe actually started our journey on the 8th of April, driving from Nowheresville, SD to Minneapolis, MN where we would visit, spend the night and leave our car for two weeks with some friends. On the 9th we headed off to the Minneapolis airport for our flight to Orlando.
We spent the 9th in the Orlando airport and the night in the Hyatt airport hotel. The Disney Cruise line uses it as a pick up point for shuttling people to Port Canaveral the day of departure.
Bright and early on the 10th we headed out on the bus to the port and began our trip.

The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr.
Maybe his background in directing and producing films, also makes Michael Landon Jr. is an adept writer. Or perhaps it’s the other way around. Having directed Hallmark Channel movie like Love Come Softly, it is no surprise that The Silent Gift really does read like a Hallmark Channel movie. This collaborative effort by him and Cindy Kelley is without a doubt one of the best books I’ll read all year.Michael Season’s Review & Giveaway

Disney Cruise Line – New Destination Teaser Trailers
As many of you know we are Disney Cruise Line Fans. We have taken three of their cruises already and have another one scheduled in April of 2010, which will be a 2 week transatlantic cruise.

Here are a couple of teaser trailers they put together, they’re awful cute!
