Three Kids and a Dog: Best Vacation Ever?

Waiting to board the Disney Dream!

According to my three kids it was! Spring Break 2018 aboard a Disney Cruise was a hit with Austen, Peyton and Hailey and all for different reasons.

Austen was thrilled he had some freedom to come and go from the tween club on the ship with a lot of different activities from making slime to playing in foosball tournaments to video game challenges.

Hailey loved all the photo opportunities with Mickey Mouse. I think we took pictures with him at least six or seven different times when he was dressed up in his captain's outfit, beach attire, tuxedo, etc.

Peyton loved ordering warm chocolate chip cookies before bed and meeting her favorite characters too - Goofy and Pluto.

Tom and I loved all the live shows that they had scheduled after our dinners. They truly were works of art from seeing a live production of Beauty and the Beast to a story called "Believe" all about being in the moment with your kids because they grow up so fast.

The service on the ship was also outstanding from housekeeping to our servers who cut our kids' food (this is all part of the Disney experience making parents feel like they are on vacation too). Peyton and Hailey spent a few hours in the kids clubs (Hailey really wanted to go as they hold really fun activities with characters too like Mickey Mouse). Peyton wasn't so much interested in the kids club but she went begrudgingly after Hailey ran in so Tom and I could attend adult discussions on the making of the Disney Dream ship (the one we were on) and have a little quiet time as well where we relaxed for a bit on the adults only section of the ship reading.

It was so great to see so many generations of families enjoying the cruise and making memories together. I for sure want to go back again - hopefully Disney Alaska!
