Help me choose a Pirate Night Costume

August 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Halloween is coming up, and as such I am browsing for a costume to wear on Pirate Night on my cruise.  While I know I could save money by checking out the post-Halloween sales, I am concerned no good costumes would be left. This is the pirate costume that one of my favorite stores, Torrid, [...]

WDW Not Just for Kids Review: PassPorter’s Disney Cruise Line 2010

August 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments

July 13th, 2010 · No Comments

I love Food Network almost as much as I love Disney, so I was thrilled when I found out that a new Unwrapped on the Disney Resorts was going to airing.  I watched it the other day.  While I think a lot of the special came from the old Unwrapped special, I still liked it [...]

Shore excursion indecision….

June 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments

So, my Disney Cruise in December stops at two ports, Nassau, and Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island).  The only other time I’ve been to the Bahamas was on a Royal Caribbean Cruise when I was 10.  I didn’t remember much of Nassau-we know we did the straw market, walked around and saw some buildings, and [...]

A couple of quick trip planning updates…

May 25th, 2010 · No Comments

1. My MVMCP ticket arrived. Thank goodness for Disney Visa points, because that was not cheap. 2. I am having an internal struggle about decorating my cabin door. I was all pumped about it (I’m thinking about going with a Santa Minnie theme for my door and fish extender, as I’ll bring my Santa Minnie [...]

WDW not Just for Kids review: Rum Runner Flasks

March 27th, 2010 · 2 Comments

For those of you who, like me a month ago, have never heard of a Rum Rummer Flask, permit me to educate you.  Rum Runners are flasks which are non-metal, collapse when empty, and less difficult to pick up by  cruiseline’s xray scanners.  I have to give props to Cate of The Blonde Diaries for [...]

Dear Disney Cruise Line, you win!

March 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

Dear Disney Cruise Line, I love your parent company.  However, like so many things we love, I sometimes feel like your parent company is just aiming for a “family” audience.  However, I got the brochure you sent me in the mail yesterday.  Not only did it bring a touch of magic to a rainy day, [...]
