Our Last-Minute Disney Cruise Adventure Begins!
We’re back at Walt Disney World for the beginning of a spontaneous Disney Cruise Line adventure!
We’re recording from Disney’s Pop Century Resort after booking a last-minute sailing aboard the Disney Wish. We reserved a guaranteed Navigator’s Verandah, but Disney surprised us with an upgrade to a category 4A stateroom on Deck 11. We’ll be conveniently located near the pool deck, Festival of Foods, Funnel Vision, and—most importantly—the soft-serve ice cream!
We also have some exciting personal news to share: Dawn has officially retired from teaching! That means we’ll have more flexibility, more opportunities to travel during the off-season, and hopefully many more Disney adventures ahead.
Before beginning our trip, we helped care for Poppins—better known as Poppy—a tiny rescued kitten our daughter adopted. We fell in love with her immediately and share how we helped her eat, gain weight, and become a little more independent.
We also talk about our early-morning Breeze Airways flight, our first experience using Mears Connect, and our lunch at Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort. We had considered visiting the parks, but the intense Florida heat, storms, travel fatigue, and cost of park-hopper tickets persuaded us to enjoy a quiet afternoon at Pop Century instead.
Finally, we look ahead to our return to the Disney Wish, our first time taking Disney transportation to Port Canaveral, and our early plans for the next Resort Loop group cruise!
