One of my favorite things to do on the Disney Cruise ships is attend the drink tastings. They are an extra fee (usually about $20-30 depending on the type of drink), but you get a bunch of samples. It’s also a seminar, so you actually learn about the drinks and how to make them. […]
Tiana’s Place on the Disney Wonder
It’s hard to pick a favorite Disney movie, because there are just so many good choices. I usually go with Beauty and the Beast, since it’s been a favorite since I was a kid. However, I will admit that Princess and the Frog is strongly vying for that top spot, and there are many days […]
What is a fish extender?
There is something unique to Disney cruises which is actually organized by the passengers and not the cruise line – and that’s called a fish extender! If you’ve heard people talking about Disney cruise fish extenders you may be wondering what on earth that means. What is a fish extender exchange? This is a gift […]

Disney cruise to Alaska – last day at sea
And this brings us to our final day of our cruise. Luckily I woke up feeling much better (I had ended our day in Ketchikan feeling a bit ill). Our friend Kelcie that we were sailing with and having dinner with every night is a photographer, and she offered to do some photos for Jason […]
Disney cruise to Alaska – Ketchikan
On our day in Ketchikan we could actually sleep in and relax a bit because we didn’t get to port until about 11am! They offered a free character breakfast that you could sign up for ahead of time, so we had done that. Our meal was in Animator’s Palate. The food was pretty mediocre – […]
Disney cruise to Alaska – Juneau
This was probably the day I was most looking forward to on our cruise! For our day in Juneau we had an amazing excursion planned – a helicopter ride up to the top of a glacier and then dog sledding on the snow with Iditarod trained huskies. There had been talks that an excursion like […]
Stitch Fix review – Alaska cruise edition!
I have now been getting Stitch Fix for 6 years, and have had the same stylist since the beginning. I think half my wardrobe is from Stitch Fix and every time I get a compliment on an outfit the answer is almost always “Stitch Fix.” Julie is a fantastic stylist and I’m so glad she’s […]
Disney cruise to Alaska – Skagway
Day 4 was our first day actually getting off of the ship in Alaska! Our first scheduled stop was in Skagway, and we had a lot of time there – we arrived around 7am and didn’t have to be back on board until 8pm. We had signed up for one excursion that day with a […]
Disney cruise to Alaska – Dawes Glacier
This was an interesting day where I didn’t quite know what to expect – we weren’t stopping in a port, but it wasn’t just a typical “sea day” either. Jason and I would be staying on the ship, but we were going to Dawes Glacier. The ship travels through the Endicott Arm fjord to the glacier […]
