The show started, and let me tell you, this show blows any show I've seen on Disney cruises away! Both Pirate Night and Star Wars Dat at Sea really don't come close! There was actually a storyline, fighting, the characters were all interacting, Spidey flew down on the zip line...oh and Loki was being naughty again...hehe. It was a really great show and we were impressed!
Apparently superhero food at midnight means lots of sausage-like things.
And fruit.
Super excited about my Thor hammer glow cube!!
THOR HAMMER GLOW CUBE
Hopefully the in-laws could go! I imagine Alaska would be easier to get to from the West Coast vs NYC/Florida
That is just too cute! I love all the little touches that make Disney cruises so magical.
Superheroes are so not my thing, but even I can appreciate how cool it is to have all of them in one pic!
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!! What in the actual hell was up with that?!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! I'm really looking forward to hearing about this!!!
O. M. G. I had the same thought!
Yay!!! So excited to read all about this, as it would be something I'd LOVE to do someday, too!
Hope your dad continues to get better and better, Su-Lynn
If you do end up heading to Alaska and your ship stops in Victoria, let me know. I would be happy to play tour guide around my lovely city!
That glow cube hammer is adorable - it needs a tiny Thor to go with it ;-)
What was with ALL the sausages?? I can't believe you've done all this so far and haven't even been to one port! So looking forward to your PEI adventure
So I see you're hoping for Alaska in 2019 - we are hoping to book end of August 2019! Yes - again!! This time, KID FREE Our 15th wedding anniversary is Aug 2019
Caught up again! Sorry to hear about the troubles with your dad, but glad that things have improved. Are you booking Alaska?! We are hoping to change our 2018 August Alaska to 2019 on Weds!
This sounds amazing!!
I love the popcorn bucket, and that's the coolest glow cube I've ever seen! Definitely a good reason to be excited!
New here, and just reading this whole report. So sorry to hear about your dad!
Amazing!!! That alone makes me want to book the cruise. It's the little things, right?
My MIL and FIL are on-board once again! I think I have turned them on to Disney cruising! They had fun and weren't bored - they thought taking pictures with characters was good fun and they loved the shows! I really want my BIL and SIL and niece to go too but they cannot commit to anything right now. We are booked for Alaska in Sept 2019! So excited!
YAY! It's a great trip. And also really good as a multi-generational one. We went with my mom and my DD who was 13 at the time. We saw lots of kids/adults/grandparent groups on that trip. It really was wonderful. There are lots of things to do off the ship, ranging from adventurous to pretty tame. Oh, and we have lovely views pretty much all the time. There is so much to see from the ship itself. I hope you have a blast! I wish I could have booked one today (the 9 night) but we already have a cruise to plan and pay for. Maybe next year.
Gosh it's just so pretty already, I was so excited!
Don told us that the entire island was anticipating the arrival of the Disney Magic as it was the first time ever that one of it's ships has sailed and docked at PEI. He said many of the towns people drove to port early this morning to watch it dock. I found that to be so endearing as it would be totally something I'd do (and I have, when the Magic docks in NYC).
Look I spotted Cows Ice Cream!! I must get some ice cream later!
Charlottetown was as charming as I expected it to be with old-world charm and beautiful houses and buildings. It seems like the perfect little seaside town.
So for the entire 2017 was a big anniversary of Canada's national parks so all parks entrance fees were waived! I did apply to get a free pass online and they mailed one to me, but I didn't even need that here, we were just given some pins to wear on our clothing and we walked right in. Canada, you are great.
I think when I mentioned we were visiting Anne of GG historic site they thought she was a real person, and not a work of fiction LOL.
I grew up watching the Sullivan Entertainment mini series with Megan Follows...anyone watched those?
And I see this couple staring at me as we were walking around the house taking pictures...then the guy comes up to me and says in almost a whisper "...Loki??" Hahaha I was dying.
I went up to her and asked her for a picture and so I said can I take a selfie? And she goes, what's that? She was so totally in character I forgot we weren't at a Disney park, hahaha.
Everyone meet Donna: (I hope it's Donna! It's been a while since the cruise!)
Our next stop was Cavendish Beach. We drove up and Don brought out a cooler of waters and a tupperware of homemade muffins which his wife makes each morning for his tour group. OMG these were awesome muffins!!!
Seriously, can you take a bad picture on this island?!? There is some sorcery going on here...
The kid on the stairs behind you is not as thrilled about disembarking apparently LOL
ME, ME, ME!!!! I LOVED it. My Mom and I bought it on VHS and eventually now own it on DVD, too. I adore Anne of Green Gables. I also used to watch Anne of Avonlea...I think that was on the Disney channel?? Maybe not, but loved that, too. Now there is an old cartoon of Anne of Green Gables, too, that my son randomly found on Qubo. It's a cartoon channel that shows a lot of old cartoons, lots of Canadian ones I'm not familiar with.I grew up watching the Sullivan Entertainment mini series with Megan Follows...anyone watched those? I was obsessed as a teen, to put it mildly.
I love that little detail!!When I exited the house I saw that they had set up this buggy and they had an actress portraying "Anne" hanging around to greet tourists.
I really enjoyed breakfast outdoors with the beautiful weather, views, and lots of coffee.
I want to try the Rainforest Room again after reading about your experience here! I was thinking maybe it wasn't for us after our trip... but I really loved the loungers! I could have spent awhile there, but I was struggling in the steam rooms? I grew up in the midwest, for goodness sake's! Zack liked the steam rooms but not the loungers... crazy!Unlike the spa on the Dream class ships the Rainforest Room in the Magic doesn't have windows that look outside, but it's still a very relaxing space, with about 4-5 heated loungers, a few steam rooms, and a couple of showers. I don't really care for the showers but I loved the steam rooms and the heated loungers.
When I was done on the loungers we headed into one of the steam rooms. It was pretty big, with tiled benches and hand-held showers so you can use your scrubs and rinse yourself off. Let me tell you, I have never been more exfoliated in my life! The scrubby thing was nice but you didn't really need it as you can just use your hands as well. I loved the smell of the lavender scrub and my skin was so soft after!! BTW, the Rainforest room was empty at this time. Guess most people didn't care for it so early in the day, but I really enjoyed coming here in the morning!
After we were sufficiently polished we headed to the locker rooms and I decided to shower there. The showers are huge compared to the staterooms and the locker rooms provide everything you need, even facial cleanser and toner! I think I must have showered here more than in our stateroom throughout the whole cruise, and the best part was that it never got crowded, even with only 2 showers.
I should have let them use my camera... Their packages are pretty crazy pricewise. Are they only good for the people in your stateroom?Sorry I don't have great pictures, I didn't buy the Shutters photo package. It's just way too expensive and I never really loved the cruise photos enough to splurge on even a few. I decided to spend my money on the spa instead. If my sister were here though that would have been the first thing we bought for the cruise, hahaha.
YUM.Another fabulous Palo brunch in the books! This is a must-do when on a Disney cruise! And the more people you go with, the better as you can try more dishes and share them. Steve's parents enjoyed themselves, they thought the food was very good. Steve's dad really enjoyed the desserts. I think he definitely has a sweet tooth! Steve's aunt was overwhelmed by all the food, but we all told her this is what it's like on a cruise in America! Haha. I believe the cost is about 30 dollars per person? It's well worth it though! Best 30 bucks I ever spent on a cruise!
Why didn't I use the app for the navigator? D'oh!I checked the Navigator on the app and it said that the Oceaneer Lab was having an open house so we headed over there.
I wish I'd known this! We (really Zack) ended up getting popcorn for the theater show every night, plus for the movie theater once. I left our popcorn bucket behind at BLT because we didn't have room and it didn't make the cut...Oh and a PSA about the movies or any theater show, if you bring your refillable popcorn bucket from the parks, you CAN get them refilled on the ship! Literally the best news ever when I heard that so I brought my popcorn bucket from August with me. Apparently they don't expire on the ships like they do at the parks, so bring any color bucket, and they will refill it for 1.50!
Looks like heaven to me! I would have loved to do this, or could have easily commandeered a lounge chair in the adults only area and read, but we were always too busy exploring the ship! 3 nights is great to see if you'll have trouble with sea sickness if you've never cruised, but way too short if you're fine!Here was me the rest of the day:
Great view, some wine, good reads. That's all I need!
1. I am an Amazon clothes convert now, especially for dresses.
Oh my god that looks good. I love bread!Our bread that evening was a banana bread with a mango dipping sauce. Very good, probably my favorite bread of the week.
In fact...all costumes should have capes (preferably below knee length).
Because a cape will make you feel like a boss.
Seriously, people parted like the red sea when you come walking down and have a flow-y cape behind you.
Not sure if it was because I was dressed like a villain or not...
I am definitely not up on who belongs to who for the comics... but I would also probably look into that before picking my clothes because I'm OCD like thatOK I am just wondering...we saw lots of people wearing DC Comics clothing...Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman...is it because they don't know that DC and Marvel comics are actually different companies and competitors? I think some people just didn't know...or maybe they are just really into DC and are in silent protest that Disney bought Marvel? Thought it was funny.
Every face character interaction I have.I think I was a little in awe meeting him, as he's like, "Are you up to no good, Loki?" and instead of coming back with some intelligent quip, all I said was, "Um, yeah."
Best hashtag ever!#naughtyloki
Can Disney ever get Star-lord's hair right?
I love the roaming characters, that's so cool!The following characters were just roaming around the ship: Star-lord and Gamora, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye (and later on in the cruise: Black Panther, Spiderman)
I bet they have lots of fun when someone dresses as them, vs all of the Elsas I mean Spidermans and Captain Americas.I think he had fun too considering I was one of the few people dressed as Loki on the ship.
That is hilarious!The Doctors Strange. I like how the one on the left is just wearing scrubs, it's perfect!
I think it works Again, I am not up on my comic knowledge... I've actually never heard of Loki *hangs head*Then they said to strike a pose like Loki, and I was at a loss, because its not like I have been practicing Loki poses so I struck a pose that more resembled Elsa and her ice powers. Sigh. At least they are all kinda related to Norse mythology....
I love the characters being dressed up. And also this photo in general
I love how Gamora is just leaned against the wall like she is so much cooler and those two are ridiculousWe hung out in the atrium and oh a bunch of Guardians decided to do a little dancing:
They look so philosophical...
What more could you ask for in cake? Sounds right up my alley!Ravager's Devils Food Cake - I think it was pretty good, nice and chocolate-y.
After about 30 minutes, I think, we arrived at Anne of Green Gables Historical Site. I'm so fan-girling right now!!
I grew up watching the Sullivan Entertainment mini series with Megan Follows...anyone watched those? I was obsessed as a teen, to put it mildly.
Funny story...so one of the buses to arrive was a Disney excursion. And I see this couple staring at me as we were walking around the house taking pictures...then the guy comes up to me and says in almost a whisper "...Loki??" Hahaha I was dying. I told them yes I was and they mentioned they liked my costume, and we had a good laugh, it was really sweet and funny.
There was a little cafe where you can get coffee and stuff and I settled for a raspberry cordial!
How was it? Well it's just sugary flavored water so nothing too special but I'm glad I tried it!!
This is a beautiful shot of you!
Which reminds me of our Liberty Tree Tavern picture... where you had a pretty awesome set of Mickey ears made out of cast irons mounted on the fireplaceI look like I have a crown of branches in the picture above!!
Fun!I had a very unexpected Dismeet too...
An Alaska cruise... I've always wanted to do one of those!BTW, we are booked on the Sept 9th 2019 sailing on the Wonder to Alaska (hint, hint, in case anyone else wants to join?!?)
As we were heading back to the car I told Steve about my Dismeet and he's like, why are you so famous?!? #obviouslynotonthedisboards
This is so sweet! I love that!We drove up and Don brought out a cooler of waters and a tupperware of homemade muffins which his wife makes each morning for his tour group.
