Welcome to the first entry of our blog. We hope to use this area of our site to share random things from our travels. Our videos are a great glimpse into our adventures, but sometimes you just want to chat, right? So here goes….
It is June 19, 2024 and Juneteenth. It is a day to honor and remember the end of slavery in the United States. It is a day that often gives me pause and makes me feel grateful to never have known such a plight in my life. It also gives me hope that things can change, no matter how difficult or uncertain. But I digress, onto lighter subject matters.
We are getting ready for our first Disney Cruise together! I (Wanda) have only been on one Disney Cruise in 2016. It was a group cruise and my first cruise ever. I had no idea what cruising was back then. I only went because I was part of the Mickey Milers running group. We were all running races in the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend and Disney Cruise Line was offering a special medal for jumping on the cruise the day after and then running the 5K on Castaway Cay. It was an unforgettable weekend. I took home 6 medals when it was all said and done. I had run the Goofy Challenge at WDW which granted me 3 medals (Half Marathon, Marathon, and the Goofy Challenge medal). Then on Castaway Cay, we were bestowed a 5K medal, and the special Challenge medal. Lastly, our group had a special medal made for the group. These are some of my most beloved medals of all of my running medals over the years. It was a great time.
That first cruise was a blur of excitement and group events. I can’t say that I remember much of the ports or anything else of the cruise. So I am really looking forward to this upcoming cruise on the Disney Wish and enjoying all that it has to offer. We will be stopping in Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay. I look forward to enjoying all of the dining options, the shows, and especially the adult areas. Chris and I are both Disney fans, so I think we will enjoy the cruise just as much as the kids.
We look forward to sharing our adventures with you! Oh, and we will be starting our trip with a visit to Walt Disney World the night before the cruise! We will be staying at Walt Disney’s Swan and Dolphin, having dinner at Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, and ending the night at Epcot After Hours! We are beyond excited! Stay tuned!
