We surprised my niece on Christmas 2013 with a Disney cruise as part of her present from Santa. She was so excited to go, but obviously she had to wait a few months.
The magic started before we even went onboard the Disney Magic - Whilst waiting to go onboard, we were greeted by Mickey Mouse who took a photo with our niece.
Once we were onboard, she was provided with a wristband that would track where she was incase anything happened... She LOVED the play areas which were safe, friendly and full of fun and entertaining activities.
